Mining Centralization Index
Shows the Mining Centralization Index.The Mining Centralization Index shows how centralized Bitcoin mining has been over time.
It’s calculated by summing up the daily hashrate share of the top n pools. Here, the top
two, three, four, five and six pools are shown. A lower index means that Bitcoin mining is
more decentralized, while a higher index means it’s more centralized.
For example, the “top 2 pools” being over 55% means that the top two pools on that day had more than 55% of the network hashrate. And the “top 6 pools” being 90% means that six pools control 90% of the network hashrate.
Note that this does not condsider any proxy pools or similar.
