Gini Index analysis is a statistical method used to measure the distribution of wealth or income within a population, or, in the context of digital assets, the distribution of tokens or voting power. A Gini coefficient closer to zero indicates a more equitable distribution, while a value closer to one suggests high inequality. This analytical tool provides a quantitative measure of concentration within a given set of assets or influence. It helps assess the decentralization of economic power.
