Estimated coin impact

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

Vitalik Buterin argued that with Ethereum’s upcoming ePBS upgrade, centralization risks could shift to the block building pipeline, raising concerns around transaction censorship and toxic MEV.
