Coinbase Introduces h-Index to Enhance Blockchain Adoption Metrics

Coinbase, a publicly traded U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange renowned for its development of Base, an Ethereum layer-2 solution, has unveiled a new metric, the h-index, to improve the accuracy of blockchain network adoption tracking.
