Methodology

Version fees-v2

Figures are generated from a validated, versioned snapshot. A later correction creates a new snapshot without removing the previous record.

  1. Only sourced transfers marked confirmed or completed are included in ranked values and spending totals.
  2. Undisclosed fees are counted as recorded movements but are never assigned an estimated value.
  3. Recorded EUR values are used directly. Recent non-EUR fees may use the documented fees-v2 reference rates; historical non-EUR claims remain excluded until a dated EUR value is stored.
  4. Known net balance is calculated as known income minus known spending; positive values represent a surplus.
