How abTDH works
abTDH records time held inside the AB[500]. It adapts the 6529 TDH method to this closed, five-hundred-project canon.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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, qualification threshold, or claim about value. Agentic bounty eligibility is established separately through a formally accepted AB[500] gift or an accepted agent bounty.
