TNH - Narrative HeatmapTRINITY EXCLUSIVE
Trinity-exclusive cross-narrative heatmap tracking crypto themes (DeFi, NFT, Memecoin, Solana ecosystem) across multiple attention sources. Each narrative converges around neutral when it is out of focus, and rises above neutral when retail, search interest, and developer activity converge on the theme simultaneously.
Trinity exclusive model
This metric is a proprietary Trinity Insights model. Its formula, inputs, weights and parameters are NOT disclosed. The page documents only the output (bounded scale, interpretation zones, historical context). Access to the score and its time series is via the REST API and the MCP server, subject to the required tier.
What is it?
TNH renders several distinct crypto narratives as comparable lines on a unified institutional 0-100 scale. For each narrative the composite draws on public attention layers (mainstream curiosity, search interest, builder endorsement), using only the layers available for that specific narrative. Each line answers the question 'how focused is the market on this theme right now relative to its own historical reference?'. Comparing the lines reveals which themes are gaining mindshare and which are receding.
How to read
Each line is calibrated on the same ISM PMI 0-100 scale around a 50 neutral. Lines hovering near 50 indicate narratives operating at their own historical reference. Lines rising above 55 indicate narratives gaining outsized attention. Lines falling below 45 indicate narratives losing mindshare. The colors encode which theme is which (legend below the chart). Use the horizontal banding (40-45, 45-55, 55-60) as a common reference for all narratives; those bounds come from the observed distribution.
Key zones
Overheated band (55-60, red) flags narratives in peak focus, rare and usually short-lived for any single theme. Neutral band (45-55, yellow) is the typical operating range. Depressed band (40-45, green) flags narratives that have lost mindshare relative to their own reference. Crossings of these bands by individual lines mark structural transitions in market focus across the themes.
What to observe
TNH is built for theme rotation analysis. Look at which narrative sits above 50 and which sits below - this maps the on-screen focus distribution. Watch for crossovers : when one theme crosses above another, capital allocation between the two is shifting. Watch for synchronous moves : when several narratives rise together, broad-based crypto attention is expanding (typically late-cycle). Watch for sustained dispersion : when one theme stays at 60+ while others stay at 40-, capital concentrates on a single narrative.
Historical context
The narrative basket captures themes that have dominated different crypto cycles : DeFi led 2020-2021, NFT exploded 2021-2022, Memecoin had waves in 2021 and 2024, and the Solana ecosystem comeback peaked in 2024. Cycle markers visible on the chart help anchor reading against the spot ETF approval, the 4th halving, and the FTX collapse bottom.
Expert notes
⚠️ Trinity Exclusive Model - TNH selects its narratives through a curation that requires multi-source data coverage for each theme. The narrative selection itself is what makes the reading distinctive: its source selection and construction are proprietary and not disclosed.
Common mistakes to avoid
TNH does not rank narratives by absolute size. The scale is relative to each narrative's own historical reference. A reading of 60 for DeFi means DeFi attention is above its own historical reference - it does NOT mean DeFi is bigger than NFT at that moment. Comparing absolute scale across narratives requires looking at the underlying raw pageviews / search interest layers separately. TNH compares relative attention shifts, not absolute scale.
