Glad to hear you believe in the vision and potential for the Data Economy Index!
@Kiba and I felt that it was most important for a given token’s weight in the index to be based on a combination of market value (the market cap weight) and on-chain economic activity relative to market value (the economic weight).
The biggest challenge in creating a methodology for a DATA index at this time is the extreme power distribution of market capitalization and liquidity for the assets (LINK is 90% of circulating market market cap and 94% of liquidity). DPI has this challenge as well, but not to the same extent.
Liquidity weight was added as DEX liquidity for GRT, NMR, and OCEAN was under $5m per token so liquidity could become an issue if AUM exceeds $20m for DATA.
