Network analysis

Trace deployments and asset identity.

Network research begins by identifying where an asset or application actually exists. These articles compare the research boundaries needed for Solana pools, Ethereum deployments, and Bitcoin-related representations. Their purpose is not to rank chains, but to make each observation reproducible. Keep host networks, underlying assets, and cross-network claims distinct.

A combined ecosystem label can be useful only when its inclusion policy is visible and consistent between observations. Start with the network-specific guide that matches your instrument. Record identifiers before comparing familiar names, and explain which other deployments or related claims were excluded. A transfer between two locations can change their individual totals without changing the total inside your chosen boundary. Use the articles below to trace that boundary and preserve the differences that an attractive aggregate chart can conceal.
