GridRank methodology

    What is GridRank?

    GridRank is a leaderboard of Web3 profiles in The Grid's network, ordered by how richly each profile's products, assets, deployments, and relationships map across the knowledge graph. Like an app store's top charts, #1 is the most connected.

    GridRank is connectivity-based and evolving, and as a result measures interconnectedness in the network. GridRank is not a rating of a project's quality, value, or potential.

    Neutral by design

    GridRank measures data-graph connectivity and nothing else. We take neutrality seriously at The Grid, and GridRank follows the same principles we use for everything we do, including our Ecosystem Coverage Policy and our Disclosures and Neutrality Policy.

    No pay-to-rank

    Ecosystems and projects cannot pay to rank higher. Position is determined purely by connectivity, and there is no paid placement.

    Not an endorsement

    A high rank reflects how well-mapped a profile is in The Grid, and is not an endorsement, recommendation, or judgement of quality.

    Not investment advice

    GridRank is not financial or investment advice. It says nothing about price, returns, or the merits of any token or project.

    How the ranking is built

    Behind each rank is a connection score, which consists of a single number that blends at least seven signals of profile interconnectedness in The Grid. The float score stays behind the scenes, and you see the resulting ordinal rank. Because the data and the signals keep growing, the score evolves with connectivity rather than a fixed formula.

    What feeds the connection score

    Here are seven of the sub-scores of graph connectivity we use:

    • 1Products linked to the profile
    • 2Assets linked to the profile
    • 3Deployments across chains
    • 4Smart contracts mapped
    • 5Supporting & related entities
    • 6Cross-entity relationships
    • 7Overall graph interconnection

    Meaningful at the top, less so at the tail (for now)

    Ranks are most meaningful near the top. Many profiles have a connection score of zero and share effectively arbitrary positions among themselves, so GridRank doesn't imply precise ordering for zero-connectivity profiles. We are evaluating other options for improving this over time. There are lots of directions this can go, and we'll update this page as and when they happen.
