| # Aave-BNS Multidimensional Protocol-Network Evidence |
|
|
| > **Hugging Face release status: PRIVATE RELEASE CANDIDATE.** The dataset has been uploaded to the Hugging Face Hub for post-upload validation. Local validation covers 14 configurations, Croissant 1.1 core metadata, substantive Responsible AI metadata, checksums, and deterministic handoff auditing. Dataset Viewer validation, clean Hub loading, platform-generated Croissant reconciliation, and immutable release tagging are the remaining publication gates. |
|
|
| ## Evaluative role |
|
|
| This resource supports evaluation of how decentralization claims change when |
| participation, Pool-event-frequency concentration, role-aware network |
| structure, actor uncertainty, and infrastructure evidence are kept distinct. |
| It is a data-centric empirical and measurement-audit resource, not a benchmark |
| leaderboard and not a person-level dataset. |
|
|
| ## Dataset structure |
|
|
| | Layer | Path | Contents | Release state | |
| |---|---|---|---| |
| | Queried-data evidence | `data/queried/` | Retrieval windows, provider comparisons, manifests, and artifact receipts recovered from completed acquisition | Included as audit evidence; no new query was run | |
| | Processed data | `data/processed/` | Fourteen governed Hub configurations and two audit-only evidence-gap tables | Included; aggregate or privacy-minimized | |
| | Metadata | `metadata/` | Schema, dictionary, sources, Croissant, RAI, quality, claims, checksums, migration ledger, and Hub handoff | Included and locally validated | |
|
|
| The release does not expose raw address-level event payloads or natural-person |
| labels. The migration ledger records their scientific lineage and exclusion; |
| missing data must never be silently replaced by a fresh query. |
|
|
| ## Evidence regimes |
|
|
| - `OBSERVED`: audited protocol/source evidence. |
| - `DERIVED`: deterministic metrics computed from observed evidence. |
| - `SYNTHETIC`: uncalibrated mechanism simulation. |
| - `BOUNDED`: partial-identification outputs. |
| - `FAILED_DESIGN`: retained but rejected identification diagnostics. |
| - `BLOCKED`/`PLANNED`: metadata-only evidence gaps. These tables are excluded |
| from the Hub configuration list and Croissant record sets. |
|
|
| ## Essential interpretation boundary |
|
|
| Address ≠ natural person ≠ user ≠ independent economic actor. |
| Event-frequency HHI is not capital, liquidity, wealth, risk, welfare, |
| ownership, or governance power. The Arbitrum–Gnosis comparison is a failed-donor |
| arithmetic diagnostic and is not a treatment effect. Verified route-level |
| infrastructure dependence is not measured. |
|
|
| ## Configuration inventory |
|
|
| Each configuration contains one complete governed table exposed under the Hub |
| packaging split name `train`; this label does **not** imply an ML training |
| partition. Primary keys, types, units, missing-value semantics, provenance, and |
| claim mappings are machine-readable in `metadata/release_manifest.json`, |
| `metadata/schema.json`, `metadata/data_dictionary.csv`, and |
| `metadata/result_data_crosswalk.csv`. |
|
|
| | Configuration | Rows | Evidence regime | Observational unit | |
| |---|---:|---|---| |
| | `observed_protocol_action_counts` | 165 | `DERIVED` | chain-week-action cohort | |
| | `treatment_event_registry` | 2 | `OBSERVED` | governed protocol event | |
| | `participation_and_concentration_metrics` | 66 | `DERIVED` | chain-week | |
| | `cross_chain_overlap` | 33 | `DERIVED` | week | |
| | `structural_metrics` | 12 | `DERIVED` | chain-layer | |
| | `actor_bounds_period` | 4 | `BOUNDED` | analysis period | |
| | `actor_bounds_change` | 4 | `BOUNDED` | comparison-metric-assumption | |
| | `simulation` | 16 | `SYNTHETIC` | scenario-parameter setting | |
| | `failed_design_estimates` | 6 | `FAILED_DESIGN` | outcome-horizon diagnostic | |
| | `failed_design_event_study` | 66 | `FAILED_DESIGN` | outcome-event-week diagnostic | |
| | `failed_design_placebos` | 6 | `FAILED_DESIGN` | outcome-pseudo-event diagnostic | |
| | `failed_design_pretrends` | 2 | `FAILED_DESIGN` | outcome pretrend diagnostic | |
| | `source_audit` | 31 | `OBSERVED` | evidence event | |
| | `metric_registry` | 39 | `OBSERVED` | governed measurement definition | |
|
|
| ## Loading and local validation |
|
|
| Install the validation dependencies and run the fail-closed handoff checks: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| python3.11 -m venv .venv |
| source .venv/bin/activate |
| python -m pip install -r requirements-validation.txt |
| python scripts/validate_release.py . --json-out metadata/validation_run.json |
| python scripts/clean_load.py . --require-hf-datasets |
| python scripts/validate_hf_handoff.py . |
| ``` |
|
|
| Load a local configuration: |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| |
| counts = load_dataset( |
| ".", |
| "observed_protocol_action_counts", |
| split="train", |
| ) |
| ``` |
|
|
| After upload, replace `.` with `zlysunshine/aave-bns` and pin the immutable Hub |
| revision recorded in the publication receipt. |
|
|
| ## Hub upload handoff |
|
|
| The repository `README.md` is the Dataset Card that the Hub will render. The |
| declared CSV configurations allow the Dataset Viewer to infer schemas and, for |
| Hub-supported conversion, generate a platform Croissant core. Upload only from |
| a clean, validated checkout: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| huggingface-cli upload zlysunshine/aave-bns . . \ |
| --repo-type dataset \ |
| --commit-message "Stage Aave-BNS dataset 1.0.0-rc1" |
| ``` |
|
|
| Immediately after upload: |
|
|
| 1. record the immutable Hub commit; |
| 2. load all 14 configurations from that revision in a clean environment; |
| 3. inspect every Viewer configuration; |
| 4. retrieve the Hub-generated Croissant core; |
| 5. merge the verified RAI and PROV fields from `metadata/croissant.json`; |
| 6. validate the merged file using the NeurIPS-linked validator; and |
| 7. write the results to a publication receipt without overwriting this staged |
| audit history. |
|
|
| ## Responsible use |
|
|
| Supported uses include reproducing descriptive and partial-identification |
| results, auditing multidimensional DeFi-network measures, checking metric |
| implementations, and inspecting failed-design diagnostics. Unsupported uses |
| include re-identifying address holders, inferring personal traits, treating |
| addresses as people, ranking chains with one scalar decentralization score, |
| presenting diagnostic coefficients as causal effects, or inferring wealth, |
| governance power, or infrastructure resilience. |
|
|
| The released tables contain aggregates, metrics, registries, and source URLs. |
| Some URLs resolve to public blockchain records containing pseudonymous |
| addresses, so linkage and profiling risks remain even though row-level address |
| payloads are excluded. |
|
|
| ## Biases and limitations |
|
|
| Coverage is protocol-, event-, chain-, and time-window-specific. Equal event |
| weighting emphasizes repeated calls, including automated contract activity, |
| and does not weight economic value. Chain/source availability can create |
| temporal and infrastructure measurement skew. The synthetic configuration is |
| an uncalibrated mechanism illustration. Causal and route-level infrastructure |
| claims are expressly unsupported. |

|
|
| Citation metadata is in `CITATION.cff`. Version `1.0.0-rc1` is the validated |
| pre-upload candidate. Material releases will use semantic versions, immutable |
| Hub commits, checksums, dated quality reports, and explicit supersession |
| records. Security, privacy, licensing, or scientific corrections should be |
| reported through the public data repository issue tracker. |

| The completed acquisition source snapshot is pinned at |
| `sunshineluyao/aave-bns@932f6f4f62c3402adf38231ed83ea9ca17cc227c`. |
