The CoinDesk DeFi Index (DCF) is designed to measure the market capitalization weighted performance of computing protocols that are included in Digital Asset Classification Standard (DACS). Inclusion of a digital asset in CDF is subject to minimum trading and exchange eligibility requirements.

The Index is based on DACS. Constituents of the index must be included in DACS and assigned to the Decentralized Finance ("DeFi") Sector to be eligible for the index. For more information on DACS, including sector definitions, please refer to the DACS page.

The CMI family of indices functions as a benchmark for digital asset allocation models that guide investor decisions on how much to invest in each asset class. It delivers institutional quality intelligence to investors who can use them to develop strategies against market fluctuations and capture untapped opportunities in the investable digital asset market.
