How the index is calculated

A live, attention-based take on the classic altcoin season index — built from Nebula’s social mindshare data rather than slow 90-day price trends.

Attention, not price

The classic index is built from 90-day price performance. Nebula’s is built from social mindshare — who is winning the crypto conversation right now — using LLM-scored analysis of every relevant post.

The top 50 by market cap

We look at the 50 largest tokens, excluding Bitcoin, stablecoins, and BTC/ETH wrappers, so the index reflects real altcoin attention rather than pegged assets.

Measured against Bitcoin

Each altcoin’s change in social mindshare is compared to Bitcoin’s. The index is the share of those altcoins gaining attention faster than Bitcoin.

Live, updated hourly

Because it reads attention rather than slow price trends, the index is a real-time gauge of rotation — refreshed every hour.
