CryptoWire’s Index Governance Committee, comprising domain experts, industry practitioners and academicians, will maintain, monitor and administer the index while rebalancing it every quarter. 

The base value of the index is set at 10,000 and the base date is April 1, 2018. Among the tokens, Bitcoin has the highest weight of index, with 51.57, whereas Ethereum holds 25.79 weightage on the index. 

Barring Binance coin, no other altcoin holds more than 5 weightages on the index. It does not include stablecoins coins such as Tether and USD coin.
