DN Concentration Lab

How diversified is the basket?

Enter constituent weights to inspect concentration without relying on the number of names in an index. This is a user-input scenario, not current market data.

Up to 50 non-negative weights totalling 100%. Default 60 / 25 / 10 / 5 is hypothetical.

60.0%Largest weight

95.0%Top three weight

Effective holdings = 1 / sum of squared fractional weights. Equal weights maximise this measure for a fixed count. It does not measure correlations, liquidity, drawdown or suitability.

Evidence & methodology

Useful research shows its boundaries.

What this dataset establishes

A selective research directory of benchmark designs, product structures and AI value-chain exposure. Inclusion is editorial coverage, not an investment ranking, endorsement or eligibility determination. No live prices, constituent weights, performance series or execution observations are collected. AI categories and diligence questions are DN interpretations of linked primary sources. Review dates describe our source review, not provider release dates. Individual token records identify issuer and reference asset separately. Network labels are documentary evidence, not verified contracts or trading routes; unverified fields remain explicit.

Reviewed by Decentralised News editorial research. Review due 28 October 2026. After that date, treat these records as historical pending a new published review.

What remains outside scope

No live prices, investment returns, verified trading availability, eligibility decisions, regulatory approvals or audited institutional suitability. Source access does not grant a market-data redistribution licence.

Tools compute locally. No entered prices, weights or worksheet selections are sent by these tools. Existing site analytics and third-party site services remain subject to DN’s privacy policy.
