Results are deterministic for a data release: the same address returns the same degree until a new release is published. Releases are versioned and documented in the methodology.
What a degree does not show
- Not ownership or identity. A route through the transaction graph says nothing about who controls this address or any address on the route.
- Not literal coin descent. Hops follow transaction inputs to outputs; they do not trace individual satoshis.
- Not a balance. Degrees of Satoshi does not display balances, and this page carries none.
- A snapshot. The result reflects the chain through the stated block height only.
