Methodology

The Number of Addresses Balance Bucket categorizes address balances into different groups, indicating the number of addresses and the total balance within each group:

1. If the amount is exactly 0, it's classified as '0 ETH/BTC'.
2. For amounts less than 0.000001, we round it to '0.000001 ETH/BTC'.
3. Amounts falling below 0.00001 but above the previous category are noted as '0.00001 ETH/BTC'.
4. This pattern continues upwards, with each category capturing progressively larger amounts: '0.0001', '0.001', '0.01', '0.1', '1', '10', '100', '1000', and '10000'.
5. Any amount 10,000 or above is classified into the '10000+' category.
