Methodologies
Explore the technical foundations behind the Alliance’s MiCA-aligned frameworks, including the White Paper Scoring Methodology and the MiCA Methodologies for Standardised Sustainability Reporting. Each is designed to strengthen comparability, reliability, and regulatory confidence in MiCA-aligned data.
Methodologies to Score MiCA White Papers
This MiCA Crypto Alliance methodology document establishes the second edition of the MiCA Crypto Alliance methodology for white paper evaluation and scoring. The methodology establishes a reproducible rules-based algorithm for white paper benchmarking based on CIR 2024/2984 and CDR 2025/421 formal compliance, CDR 2025/422 conformance, and XBRL taxonomy adherence under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation.
Methodologies to Calculate Sustainability Indicators under MiCA
The MiCA Crypto Alliance methodology establishes standardised approaches for calculating and reporting environmental sustainability indicators under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation. Aligned with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/422, it defines consistent methodologies for metrics such as energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and electronic waste, enabling transparent and comparable sustainability disclosures across crypto-assets and service providers.
