The governing document
Every figure published in the Trensik XRPL Benchmark Series traces to a rule on this page. Where a figure cites §n, this is the §n it cites.
1 · Series overview
The Trensik XRPL Benchmark Series comprises four chain-linked indices over the real-world assets listed on Trensik’s XRPL venue: TXC (Composite, all 48 assets), TXEQ (Equities, 39 WeildX tokenized equities), TXTR (Trackers, 6 Assetiko index and sector tokens), and TXCM (Commodities, 3 Assetiko commodity tokens). The permanent series began at 1000.00 and is extended from pinned, validated XRPL mainnet ledgers without rebasing. The current calculation uses ledger 107460203 (2026-10-06). TXC-EW and TXEQ-EW are concentration diagnostics, not standalone benchmarks (§4.4).
2 · Universe & eligibility
The universe is the target-local registry. Eligibility requires the exact XRPL currency-and-issuer identity, a positive validated issuer obligation, an unfrozen and funded exact token/USDV AMM, at least 50,000 USDV of two-sided liquidity, normally at least 24 reserve changes in seven days, a validated trade no older than 72 hours, and at least 20 validated checkpoint receipts. A checkpoint move above 25% fails as an outlier. Current result: 48 eligible · 48 included · 0 exclusions. Methodology 2.1 permits an existing constituent with fewer than 24 reserve changes to continue only when every other check passes, including complete validated history, reserve reconciliation and reserve activity within 72 hours. Genuine unchanged prices remain flat; no activity is invented. Historical publications remain available under /data/history/2.0-xrpl-107124938. Any other failed check halts the candidate; it is never filled from another asset or route.
3 · Data & alignment
Price is the USDV reserve divided by the token reserve in the exact validated XRPL AMM.24 timestamped checkpoints span seven days; each uses the latest validated pool reserve state at or before its timestamp. Every history page is exhausted with a pinned ledger range and the reconstructed close must reconcile to the pinned AMM reserve. Points retain the compact labels P0 … P23; their ISO timestamps are published in the level CSV and JSON files.
4 · Weighting
4.1 · On-ledger outstanding-value weights, fixed over the window
The weighting basis is validated issuer obligations for the exact currency multiplied by its exact token/USDV AMM price at the P0 window-start ledger. These token market values are normalized to 1 and fixed across the whole window. No intra-window reweighting occurs.
4.2 · The 10% cap
while any w[i] > cap: excess = Σ (w[i] - cap) over capped members w[i] = cap for capped members w[j] += excess · w[j] / Σ w[j] for uncapped members
Convergence is reached when no weight exceeds the cap; every pass is recorded and the recorded passes drive the Capping Loom exhibit. Observed in this series: TXC converges immediately (largest raw weight 8.76% — the cap is not binding); TXEQ converges in one pass with its largest member pinned at 9.52%.
4.3 · The Small-Basket Rule
n × cap < 1 ⇒ no capped solution exists ⇒ equal weight applies.
TXTR: 6 × 10% < 100% → equal weight 16.67%. TXCM: 3 × 10% < 100% → equal weight 33.33%. The rule is named and printed wherever those weightings appear.
4.4 · Equal-weight sub-series
TXC-EW and TXEQ-EW recompute the parent with equal weights. Their only role is the Divergence Band: the gap between capped and equal-weight levels is the concentration effect, stated in index points.
5 · Calculation
Within regime r: Level(t) = Level(r) · Σᵢ wᵢ,r · Pᵢ(t) / Pᵢ(r) IntervalReturn = Level(t+1) / Level(t) − 1 Chain link = Level(r,new) = Level(r,old) Contributionᵢ = Σᵣ Level(r) · wᵢ,r · ΔPᵢ,r / Pᵢ(r) [index points]
The inception base is 1000.00. Inside each membership regime, the opening level, exact identities, weights, and reference prices are fixed. A new regime begins at the prior published level, so a rebalance creates no artificial jump. The Attribution Spine sums regime-aware constituent contributions: TXC’s close of 977.46 reconciles to its current window opening level of 970.27.
6 · Rebalancing & events
A target-local candidate is calculated daily at 00:00 UTC. It must pass snapshot, quality, identity, arithmetic, history, receipt, freshness, route, and browser checks before owner-approved publication. Scheduled membership changes occur on the first Monday calculation of the quarter; additions and removals wait for that quarterly rebalance. An emergency eligibility failure halts calculation instead of silently deleting or redistributing a member. Validated-ledger corrections retain the original receipt and publish a versioned restatement; silent revisions are prohibited. Ancillary event panels stay empty unless this target has an independently verified official-source receipt.
7 · Derived statistics
7.1 · Concentration
HHI = Σ wᵢ² · Top-N weight = Σ of the N largest wᵢ.
7.2 · Breadth
Per interval: advancers, decliners, unchanged among members by raw price direction.
7.3 · Best / worst interval
The extreme interval returns of the level series, cited as Pn→Pn+1.
7.4 · Top-mover share
share(t) = maxᵢ |cᵢ(t)| / Σᵢ |cᵢ(t)|, where cᵢ(t) uses the active regime level, weight, and reference price.
Bounded and always defined. The Breadth Seismograph’s beacons mark intervals where share > 50% and the index direction disagrees with the breadth majority — single-name dominance, computed, not asserted.
8 · Naming & identifiers
Codes use the TX prefix (TXC, TXEQ, TXTR, TXCM) with the -EW suffix for equal-weight sub-series. Codes deliberately carry no member counts, so they survive universe growth. “TRX” is never used — it is TRON’s ticker; “TNX” is avoided as the CBOE 10-year Treasury yield symbol.
9 · Limitations & disclaimers
Public levels are chain-linked, while the interactive breadth and attribution exhibits describe the current validated seven-day window. USD figures use USDV as the quote asset; the benchmark does not independently assert off-ledger USD redemption parity. A zero 24-hour flow can occur outside active trading hours, but validated seven-day activity and trade-recency requirements still apply. No ratings, scores, targets, outlooks, or opinions are published. Nothing here is investment advice. Snapshot hash, exact identity, AMM state, market quality, history continuity, independent receipts, and build arithmetic are fail-closed.
