[The leaderboard](https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/the-leaderboard/) counts every script that holds a token, across every protocol [the appendix](https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/the-appendix/) can read; an address is a rendering of its script. Holders the appendix cannot see add nothing, and the [coverage](https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/coverage/) line says how much of the books that leaves out. On the latest reading it held 4,493,168 addresses, as of block 972,491 (as of block 972,491, 2026-10-21 17:17:11 UTC).
