The Grid maintains a policy of neutrality in our mapping of ecosystems. We provide objective data about what’s out there in the mapped ecosystem, and do not opine whether a particular project is “good” or “bad”.
The goal for coverage in The Grid’s data is to be diverse, comprehensive, and aligned with our mission of providing The leading source for trusted off chain data.
Scope of The Grid’s data
The How and When of mapping ecosystems
The Grid generally maps ecosystem by ecosystem as we grow our coverage. We map ecosystems through a combination of techniques designed to have as broad a coverage as possible, including where available first party data collection (direct from the projects) and third party data collection (pulling in data from other sources if they meet our standards).
We choose ecosystems to map based on several factors, including compatibility with our current data schema and size of the ecosystem.
Inclusion criteria
The Grid decides on inclusion on the data on the basis of its Neutrality Policy, and guided by the following criteria.
What can be included?
Generally, The Grid will only include in its dataset projects that:
Have some sort of public availability of their project;
An accessible product or a useable asset;
Real users or paying customers;
A dedicated website that explains the project; and
Some indication of real engagement, such as followers or members on X or Discord.
What won’t likely be included?
Generally we will not have or accept profiles for:
projects that have no public availability;
projects with no users or customers and very little history; and
projects with very little history.
