Estimated coin impact

Scores are not price-change percentages. High impact means a score of +70 or more, or -70 or less.

Vitalik Buterin no longer agrees with his 2017 view of "recording only transactions without committing state," due to mature zero-knowledge technologies like ZK-SNARKs enabling state verification without full transaction replay, reducing trust assumptions without sacrificing usability.
