4) Discuss and Approve All Methodological Decisions That Require Judgment or Discretion

Description: The Committee will discuss and approve all methodological decisions that require judgment or discretion.

Discussion: The Committee reviewed the following items and arrived at the following conclusions:

A. Metaverse Themes

The index methodology requires that the Committee determine the core thematic categories of crypto assets (“Metaverse Themes”) that are critical to the long-term growth of an open Metaverse each quarter.

The Committee made no changes to the Metaverse Themes used in the index, confirming that the following Metaverse Themes are appropriate:

• Asset Ledgers and Interoperability Solutions

• Decentralized Finance and Marketplaces

• Infrastructure and Tools

• Virtual Platforms and Communities

B. Determination of Eligible Crypto Assets

The index methodology assigns the Index Committee the sole responsibility for determining which crypto assets are included within each Metaverse theme.

The Committee reviewed available crypto assets for potential inclusion.

C. Metaverse Theme Weightings

The index methodology requires that the Committee determine the weight assigned to each Metaverse Theme. No theme may represent more than 50% of the index.

The Committee determined that it would retain the rebalance weight for each Metaverse Theme from its last meeting, as listed below:

• Asset Ledgers and Interoperability Solutions: 35%

• Decentralized Finance and Marketplaces: 20%

• Infrastructure and Tools: 35%

• Virtual Platforms and Communities: 10%

D.  High-Growth-Potential Allocations and Weightings

The index methodology allows the Committee to allocate up to 10% of the weight within each Metaverse Theme on a discretionary basis to projects with high growth potential.

The Committee determined that it would make the following allocations:

• Asset Ledgers and Interoperability Solutions

  • MATIC: +10% allocation

• Decentralized Finance and Marketplaces

  • AAVE: +10% allocation

• Infrastructure and Tools

  • AR: +3.33%

  • ENS: +3.33%

  • RNDR: +3.33%

• Virtual Platforms and Communities

  • No boost applied

The Committee completed this review and confirmed that the following venues would qualify:
