[The leaderboard](https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/the-leaderboard/), at block.space/leaderboard, ranks addresses by the blockspace behind the tokens they hold. Each token's bytes under the chosen book divide among its holders by their share of the supply, so an address holding half a token's units is backed by half its bytes. A [coverage](https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/coverage/) line states what share of the books it cannot place.
