31 Cryptocurrency Project Ranking by CCID

What is the ranking methodology?

According to China Electronics News Agency (Cena), the ranking is based on “comprehensive investigation and evaluation of the public chain from three aspects: basic technology, application, and innovation.”

The CCID takes basic technology, functions, performance, and decentralization into account when ranking cryptocurrency projects. According to them, the EOS scored the highest according to the given criteria.

“The basic technology mainly assesses the technical level of the current public chain, including evaluation of functions, performance, security, and decentralization.”

“In terms of basic technical sub-indicators, EOS scored the highest.”

Also, they evaluate the application aspect which touches the ability to support practical applications. Node deployment, wallet, development support, and implementation are also important ranking factors.

“The application mainly examines the comprehensive ability of the public chain to support practical applications, including node deployment, wallet application, development support and application implementation.”
Lastly, when it comes to cryptocurrency projects, innovation is the key. They evaluate the quality of open source code of public chain, a number of contributors, updates, and the impact of the code.
