Melega Score · space-candidate-1 · candidate model

One evidence-based score for every project Space observes.

Melega Score is owned and operated by Melega Space. It reads only observed evidence — market, security, identity, community and activity — and publishes the reasoning behind every number.

SPACE-specific · historical design

This page documents the Melega Space implementation of scoring. The canonical ecosystem-wide standard is the Melega Score Core Spec melega-score-v1; where the two differ, the Core Spec is the canonical direction. Read the Core Spec.

Scoring philosophy
  • • Transparent — every indicator, weight and band is published on this page.
  • • Explainable — every score ships a reason log naming the evidence behind it.
  • • Evidence-based — an unobserved indicator lowers coverage, it never invents a value.
  • • Manipulation-resistant — indicators are weighted by how hard they are to fake.
  • • Independent — paid visibility, listings and campaigns can never move a score.

Formula space-candidate-1 is a candidate model. Scores are computed and published with their coverage, and the model is versioned: when it is ratified, every snapshot records the version that produced it.

Five evidence domains · published weights

How the score is composed

Market
30%
  • Pool depth — How much liquidity backs the canonical trading pair?
  • Traded volume — Is the market actually traded over 24 hours?
  • Market breadth — Does the asset trade across more than one venue?
Security
25%
  • Contract verification — Is the deployed source verified on a public explorer?
  • Honeypot screening — Has a screening authority reported sell restrictions?
  • Ownership — Are privileged owner functions still callable?
  • Audit evidence — Does a recorded audit reference exist in the evidence graph?
  • Supply distribution — How much supply does the largest observed holder control?
Identity
20%
  • Profile completeness — How many canonical identity fields has Space observed?
  • Independent sources — How many independent providers assert this identity?
Community
15%
  • Public channels — Which official public channels has Space discovered?
  • Developer presence — Is there a public code repository behind the project?
Activity
10%
  • Trade count — How many transactions were observed in the last 24 hours?
  • Publishing cadence — Is the project publishing verifiable updates and news?

Open risks cap the score band. A missing observation is reported as unobserved — never as a risk.

Score bands

From Watch to Institutional

85–100
Institutional
Broad, independently confirmed evidence with no open high-severity risk.
70–84
Trusted
Strong evidence across most domains, minor gaps remain.
55–69
Verified
Objective qualification with real market and identity evidence.
35–54
Emerging
Early or partially observed. Evidence coverage is limited.
0–34
Watch
Weak evidence or open risks. Treat with caution.
Public score API and badge

Every score is readable and embeddable. Scores are recomputed from live evidence and each change is recorded in the project score history.
