What VGPI measures

The Vexidus Global Productivity Index (VGPI) is a weighted composite tracking the combined productive output of the world’s measurable economies, denominated in VGD (Vexidus Global Dollar).

It is designed as a neutral reference — no human editorial input, no discretionary weighting. The index recomputes continuously from primary-source economic data.

Index formula

VGPI_t = 1000 · (Σᵢ wᵢ · GDPᵢ_VGD(t)) / (Σᵢ wᵢ · GDPᵢ_VGD(t₀))
t₀ = baseline date (2026-01-01, score = 1000.0)
wᵢ = trade-share weight for economy i
GDPᵢ_VGD = GDP converted to VGD at current reference rate

Every input is hashed; every output carries a computation_hash and input_hash so any observer can verify the snapshot matches the inputs.

Economy Wellness Score (EWS)

Each constituent economy receives an EWS (0–100) combining four sub-scores, each 0–100:

  • Trade: imports + exports as share of GDP — openness to global commerce
  • Productivity: GDP per capita relative to global median
  • Stability: inflation volatility, currency drawdown, sovereign-spread proxy
  • Demand: consumption as share of GDP — depth of internal market

Health tiers: strong (≥75), moderate (60–74), developing (45–59), stressed (30–44), crisis (<30).

Data sources

GDP
World Bank + IMF WEO
Nominal GDP in local currency, annual. Linearly interpolated between publication dates.
Forex (Tier B)
ECB reference + global spot feeds
Daily mid rates, VWAP-smoothed. Used until Atomence on-chain volume is sufficient.
Crypto
CoinGecko VWAP
Volume-weighted cross-exchange spot prices.
Atomence (Tier A, pending)
Vexidus L1 on-chain VWAP
Settled EscrowOrder records. Promoted to primary source once depth exceeds the forex tier.

Verification

Every snapshot returned by the engine carries two hashes so third-party observers can confirm integrity without trusting Vexidus:

  • input_hash — BLAKE3 of the canonical-ordered input bundle (GDP vector, rate vector, weights)
  • computation_hash — BLAKE3 of the full output bundle, committed in the snapshot itself
latest computation_hash: 168c013d09499f012dff4610fb231f9fc552933f910cee75cbaad5c66dc7c68b

Update cadence

  • Forex rates: refreshed every 60 seconds from upstream feeds
  • Crypto VWAP: refreshed every 60 seconds
  • GDP base: refreshed when upstream publishes (quarterly/annual per country)
  • VGPI recomputation: every 30 seconds; broadcast via WebSocket to connected clients

What VGPI is not

  • — It is not a price. It is a productivity index.
  • — It is not backed by any asset or commitment.
  • — It is not investment advice. Figures are reference data; use with appropriate diligence.
  • — It is not infallible. Upstream data quality bounds every output; sovereign data can lag or be revised.
VGPI Methodology: Index computed from World Bank GDP data, ECB/global forex rates, and trade share indicators. No human editorial input. VGD reference rates derived from global forex markets. Atomence on-chain VWAP will replace these as market maker activity begins. All figures expressed in VGD (Vexidus Global Dollar). Read full methodology →© 2026 Vexidus Corporation · Vexidus Labs Ltd
