How the index is calculated

What Crypto Attention is
Crypto Attention reads 118 crypto domains and project blogs, merges articles from different domains about the same news into narratives, and rates their tone. For analysts, traders and teams who need the day at a glance, not a feed of thousands of headlines. The last 24 hours are free; history and the API come with Pro.
How this is measured
Each article adds a burst of attention to its narrative that fades over hours, counted more for domains with a wider reach. A narrative is a group of articles about one event, and needs at least two domains. Crypto Attention describes what is being covered, not what investors think, and is not investment advice.
