A longitudinal research index documenting the observed structure, behavior, and continuity of a neutral, fixed-supply digital commodity.
The iEthereum Digital Commodity Index (DCI) is a longitudinal research archive that documents the observed structure, activity, and distribution characteristics of iEthereum as a digital commodity.
The index is maintained to preserve analytical continuity across time, independent of market narratives, governance influence, promotional activity, or adaptive protocol changes. Measurements are applied consistently and prospectively, allowing long-horizon behavior to be studied without hindsight bias.
The DCI does not seek to predict outcomes or promote adoption. Its purpose is to maintain a stable observational record so that changes in structure, usage, and market behavior can be evaluated within a fixed analytical frame.
The iEthereum Digital Commodity Index tracks a defined set of structural and behavioral metrics designed to observe how a fixed-supply digital commodity behaves over time.
At a high level, the index examines:
Supply distribution and holder concentration
Transfer activity and velocity
Historical report archive within the licensed term
Wallet participation and usage patterns
Market capitalization and price behavior
Liquidity structure and access conditions
Longitudinal changes in network activity and dispersion
Metrics are evaluated as observations, not signals, and are interpreted within a commodity-focused analytical framework rather than an equity or protocol-governance model.
To preserve neutrality and analytical integrity, the iEthereum Digital Commodity Index is explicitly not:
A predictive model or forecasting tool
An investment advisory product
A trading signal service
A protocol roadmap or governance framework
A promotional or marketing publication
The index is maintained as a descriptive research record, not a prescriptive system.
Digital assets often change measurement frameworks, issuance policies, or reporting standards over time, making historical comparisons difficult or misleading.
The DCI is intentionally structured to avoid these issues by:
Applying consistent definitions across reporting periods
Avoiding retroactive restatement of published data
Treating methodological refinements prospectively only
Preserving the original context of each reporting period
This continuity allows structural changes to be evaluated as they occur, rather than reconstructed after the fact.
The iEthereum Digital Commodity Index is published on a recurring basis:
Monthly reports document short-term structural and activity changes
Quarterly reports provide consolidated analysis across reporting periods
Each report is preserved as a discrete research artifact within the index archive.
The DCI is made available to qualified organizations through institutional research licensing.
Public access is limited to high-level descriptions and selected archival references. Full reports, historical archives, and supporting documentation are provided under licensed access for internal organizational use.
