The rated index

The Canon

INDEX's rated index of culturally significant on-chain art. Each work is assessed on four measures and placed in one of five tiers. Price is not one of them, and never will be.

i

Originality

Did it do something first, or only follow? The editorial measure, judged openly.

ii

Influence

How much later work carries its mark. Influence you can trace by eye.

iii

Collector Integrity

Held with conviction by serious collectors, not flipped through weak hands.

iv

Cultural Persistence

Whether it still matters once the noise of its moment has cleared.
