How abTDH works

abTDH records time held inside the AB[500]. It adapts the 6529 TDH method to this closed, five-hundred-project canon.

  1. Full days held. Each AB[500] work currently held by a published collector profile contributes one raw point for each full day of continuous ownership.
  2. Edition weight. Friendship Bracelets, the largest eligible edition at 38,965 works, has a weight of 1. Every other project uses 38,965 divided by its edition size, rounded to two decimals.
  3. Consolidated profiles. Transfers between wallets published on the same collector profile preserve the original acquisition date. A work that leaves every linked wallet stops contributing. Reacquisition starts a new holding period.
  4. UTC snapshots. Scores are calculated at 00:00 UTC. The displayed daily rate is the amount a profile earns across its current AB[500] holdings for one further full day.

No collection boosters are applied in abTDH v1. abTDH is an archival measure of sustained custody, not a ranking, voting weight, or claim about value.
