A new blockchain project called Koinos launched on October 13th, 17:00 UTC.
Snapshot data has been taken from etherscan.io.

Number addresses holding Koin increased by 45% over the course of one week. Amount Koin mined grew by 29%.
Notes:
This Tweet coincided with massive price action and an influx of users on the Koinos Discord.

Let's see how long it takes those big miners to satisfy the newly gained users. A few opportunistic traders jumped on the opportunity as well. This lead to a large volume spike on Uniswap.
| Date | Max | Mean | 75% | 50% | 25% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18.10.2020 | 629361.01 | 86169.76 | 3789.62 | 1227.76 | 328.21 |

75% = 3rd quartile, 50% = median, 25% = 1st quartile.
The extremely large difference between mean and median balance also shows a strong concentration of assets.
As a better measure of distribution, and subsequent changes over time, we can take a look at the Gini coefficient. It is intended as a tool to measure wealth inequality within nations or other groupings. A coefficient of 0 equals a perfect equitable distribution, a value of 1 signifies maximal inequality.
The current data set yields a coefficient of 0.795, signifying a very top heavy distribution. Unchanged from the previous week.
The Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI) is a measure of industry concentration or competitiveness. Increases in the Herfindahl index generally indicate a decrease in competition. The scale ranges from 0 (highly competitive) to 1 (monopoly). In practice a value over 0,25 already signifies high concentration.
The current data set yields a value of 0,011. Stable compared to last week.
27% of the final Koin amount have been mined. Large CPU clusters are crowding out most home setups. A big part of distribution is happening via cheap prices for Koin on Uniswap.
| Date | Gini | HHI |
|---|---|---|
| 18.10.2020 | 0.81 | 0.06 |
| 25.10.2020 | 0.82 | 0.03 |
| 01.11.2020 | 0.81 | 0.021 |
| 08.11.2020 | 0.81 | 0.016 |
| 15.11.2020 | 0.80 | 0.011 |
