How is this category defined?

Base blockchains that settle their own transactions. Membership is taken from CoinGecko's own category data rather than assigned by us, so a coin appears here if its issuer or CoinGecko classifies it that way. We track 132 of them, filtered to exclude stablecoins and wrapped or staked derivatives, which would otherwise distort every average on this page.
