Ethos
How Ethos credibility correlates with on-chain assets

Why this matters

In web3, marketing dollars get burned reaching users who never had the capital to convert. Filtering by Ethos credibility lets teams stop inflating CAC on noise and reach buyers with actual purchasing power. And because every score is tied to a real X account and wallet, those qualified leads aren't just a stat on a chart, they're directly reachable.

Data last scanned May 5, 2026 · Zerion + Hyperliquid API

Methodology
  • Holdings = wallet tokens + DeFi positions (net of borrowed) + NFT floors + Hyperliquid (perps + spot).
  • Data from Zerion API (tokens, DeFi, NFTs across all major EVM chains including HyperEVM) and Hyperliquid's public API.
  • Bracket boundaries match Ethos-native credibility tiers.
  • Privy-managed embedded and smart wallets are excluded — these are app-managed, not user-owned assets.
  • Dormant wallets (holdings = $0) are excluded from medians so the metric is meaningful.
  • Medians are the primary indicator since wealth distributions are heavily skewed by whales; averages are shown for context.
  • One confirmed spam profile with fabricated $7B in fake DeFi deposits was manually zeroed out.
