A score of 100 would represent a project that consistently delivers on its public commitments, publishes verifiable financials, has transparent governance, treats its community honestly, and submits its technology to independent scrutiny. BlockDAG's score is 4 / 100.
How to read this
The component scores are not equally weighted; we weight them by how reliably they predict outcomes for retail buyers. Promise-keeping carries the most weight (25%) because it is the most directly observable. Governance transparency (20%) and financial accountability (20%) carry the next most weight because in our experience they are the strongest leading indicators when promise-keeping is borderline. The full weighting rationale is in our methodology.
What would move the score
Restoring staking (broken 127 days). Shipping miners (sales stopped May 19). Publishing an independent audit. Addressing the $442M vs on-chain gap. Honouring Batch 1 claims, now retracted. Honouring Aftersale claims, deferred. Concluding the "listing phase." Fixing wallet sync. Publishing a compression rate (now empirically known at 99.92% via João Veríssimo's Batch 5 receipt: 368M paid, 300K claimable). Crediting casino deposits. Publishing the on-chain transaction for the May 21 "1B BDAG burn" with verifiable explorer link. Reconciling the burn announcement with CoinMarketCap data showing circulating supply rose +1.54B in the same 48 hours. Restoring the support ticket system (broken 8+ days, "account suspended" errors). Explaining the BTSE trading suspension (May 23) and the MEXC scheduled-listing cancellation (May 24). Publishing a vesting schedule for the new post-Batch 5 vesting contract. None of these has happened. Exchange deposits now indefinitely deferred — May 5 "June 30" promise silently replaced with "once the ecosystem infrastructure is fully prepared."
