Stratified methodology refers to a research or analytical approach that divides a complex system or population into distinct, non-overlapping subgroups, or strata, before conducting analysis. In the context of digital assets, this could involve segmenting blockchain transactions by value, user types by activity level, or protocols by market capitalization. This systematic division allows for more precise analysis within each stratum, leading to more accurate and nuanced conclusions about the overall system. It enhances the reliability of data interpretation.
Context
The application of a stratified methodology is increasingly discussed in academic research and advanced market analysis within the crypto domain. News reports on market trends or user behavior often benefit from this approach by differentiating between retail and institutional activity or by analyzing specific sectors of the DeFi market. This methodology helps overcome the challenges of analyzing heterogeneous blockchain data, providing clearer insights for policy recommendations and investment strategies.
A stratified, eight-layer methodology and a Minimum Decentralization Test now formally measure and unify the contested semantics of blockchain decentralization.
