The rankings are compiled every two months by the CCID (Qingdao) Blockchain Research Institute, an entity established by the CCID. Several organizations participate in the evaluation work, including the CCID think tank and the China Software Evaluation Center. The center previously said that “The result of this assessment will allow the CCID group to provide better technical consulting services for government agencies, business enterprises, research institutes, and technology developers.”
