A link is ignored when it ties more than 50 registrations (a platform, a launchpad or an exchange, not an operator). A union that would make a set larger than 500 is held for review and not applied (Harrigan & Fretter 2016; Möser & Narayanan 2021). The ratio is sets divided by ranked registrations; 1 would mean every registration stands alone.","method":"afg-independence, daily, from bindings, registry_owners, registrations and money_events (EARN).
