Market cap tells you how big a coin is. It doesn't tell you who controls it. $ETH scores 66 on our D Score. $SOL scores 59. Both are far bigger than $LTC and digibyte:native, which each score 96. Bigger is not the same as harder to stop. See size vs control: BlockIndex.AI/valuation

Ethereum just postponed Monday's Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet. No new date. ChainSecurity found the new gas rules could change how live contracts handle failed calls. Some errors could become permanent. Every hard fork rewrites the rules under deployed code.

$DASH scores 68 on our D Score. It forked from $LTC, which scores 96. The network is strong. Nodes: 30 of 30. Age: 15 of 15. The gap is the launch. About 2 million DASH were mined in the first 48 hours. Initial distribution: 6 of 25. BlockIndex.AI/coin/dash

If your favorite blockchain can freeze your wallet because someone filled out a form, it's not decentralized. It's a bank with better memes. Nobody can freeze a $BTC, digibyte:native or $DOGE wallet. There's no form to file. See who actually passes: BlockIndex.AI/rankings

Bitcoin Core just changed its security policy. Bugs an AI can find with one simple prompt no longer sit under embargo for about a year. They now get a patch and an advisory right away. The tradeoff is less testing. Fast fixes only matter if people running $BTC nodes upgrade.

$VTC scores 78 on our D Score. Perfect launch, thin network. Fair launch in 2014. Zero premine. Initial distribution: 25 of 25. Nodes: 12 of 30. That's where it loses its points. A fair start only matters if people keep running nodes. BlockIndex.AI/coin/vertcoin

The Drift exploiter just pushed $122 million of $ETH through Tornado Cash in two days. 520 deposits, mostly 100 ETH each. The April hack on the Solana exchange ran through a malicious admin transfer. An admin key is a single point of failure. Attackers know where to aim.

$DOT scores 66 on our D Score. Exactly the same as $ETH. Nodes: 28 of 30. Governance: 20 of 25. Autonomy: 5 of 5. Initial distribution: 0 of 25. Half the supply was premined. Great tech can't undo a lopsided launch. BlockIndex.AI/coin/polkadot

Chinese prosecutors want to confiscate more than 61,800 $BTC that the UK seized in the Tianjin Lantian Gree fraud case. It hit 102,000 investors. Nobody can freeze Bitcoin on chain. But whoever holds the keys decides who gets paid, and right now that's the British government.

Put every coin on one line. Zero is centralized. 100 is decentralized. Then group them by how each network is secured. The top end belongs to proof of work. $BTC, digibyte:native, $LTC. Hashpower is hard to fake and hard to capture. See the whole line: BlockIndex.AI/spectrum

The OCC just finalized its GENIUS Act rule for payment stablecoins. It takes effect January 18. Issuers can't pay yield directly. Rewards paid through partners will be judged case by case. Regulated is not the same as decentralized. The issuer still holds the freeze key.

Ask Emma one simple question: who can shut this chain down? For $BTC, $LTC and $DOGE, the answer is nobody. For a lot of coins, it's a foundation, a team, or a handful of validators. Emma reads the D Score data and gives you the answer in plain English: BlockIndex.AI/emma

If the biggest validator on your favorite blockchain is the team's own wallet, it's not decentralized. It's a casino where the house also deals, plays, and counts the chips. $BTC, digibyte:native and $DOGE don't have a house. See who actually passes: BlockIndex.AI/rankings

Qubic halted its whole blockchain after an attacker drained about 1,400 wallets built on weak random seeds. Its 676 Computors froze the chain to trap the stolen coins. Next, those same validators vote on the funds. A chain that can be paused can be paused for anything.

$BNB scores 38 on our D Score. Nodes: 5 of 30. The chain runs on fewer than 100 of them. Initial distribution: 0 of 25. One exchange built it. Half the coins existed on day one. The score writes itself. BlockIndex.AI/coin/bnb
