Electric Cash ranks #331 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #4345: 4014 of the 4344 assets ahead of it are not native coins but tokens or claims. A token is issued on a host blockchain rather than running its own; a claim stands for an asset already counted.

Grade pending. Electric Cash's launch — how much went to insiders, whether it was sold to investors — is still being researched. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

| Scarcity (Limited supply · 1 Store of value · Whitepaper §6) | 10 | fixed maximum supply of 21 million: supply scale 10, cap 10 |
| Durability (Sustainability · 1 Store of value) | ✓ | 5 full years since its first recorded price, no halt, freeze or reversal in five years |
| Fungibility (Interchangeability · 3 Unit of account) | ✓ | every unit identical and worth any other |
| Portability (Scalability · 2 Medium of exchange) | ✗ | typical fee $7e-8; about 95 transactions a second, 4.6 on the throughput scale (5 is the busiest networks' median demand) |
| Divisibility (Flexibility · 3 Unit of account) | ✓ | 8 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $4.7e-10 |
| Verifiability (Authenticity check · 1 Store of value · Whitepaper §8) | ✓ | node software open source; light clients verify from headers or proofs |
| Scalability (fees, throughput, block time, block space, features) | 8.3 | average of 5 parts source |
| Fees ($0.001 or less 10, $1 or more 0) | 10 | typical fee $7e-8 |
| Throughput (2,478 a second, the busiest network's peak day, 10; 119, the median of the ten busiest, 5) | 4.6 | about 95 simple transactions a second |
| Block time (10 minutes 10, less either side) | 10 | a block every 10.1 minutes |

| Features (3 checks) | 6.7 | 2 of 3 passed |
| Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper §11) | ✗ | Ten-minute blocks; the Bitcoin Core-derived node honours opt-in BIP125 replace-by-fee, so zero-confirmation payments are not protected. |
| Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7) | ✓ | Electric Cash Core v0.27.7 (Jan 2025, Bitcoin Core 0.21-era code): -prune keeps the UTXO set and recent blocks. |
| Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8) | ✓ | Electric Cash Core v0.27.7 serves BIP37 Merkle proofs and BIP157 filters to SPV clients checking SHA-256 proof of work. |

| Decentralisation | 7.5 | section average, 4 of 8 measured |
| Censorship resistant (Source) | 10 | No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No key-based freeze in the code; the DDMS coinbase whitelist restricted who could receive block rewards until height 205,850 but did not freeze coins. source |

| Nodes (Source) | — | Not yet counted |
| Holder concentration (Source) | — | Not yet measured |
| Premine (allocated at launch) | — | Not computed: the README and MINING.md state 2,100,000 ELCASH (10% of the 21M cap, the first 4,200 blocks at 500 ELCASH) was pre-mined for the project's development, marketing, airdrops and staker rewards. In addition, consensus code (DDMS, consensus.fddms = true) only accepted coinbase outputs paying one of 100 hard-coded addresses until height 205,850, so all issuance to that height (~15.5M ELCASH on schedule) went to predetermined addresses, which makes that minting closed rather than open. Current height and supply could not be read (explorer and API return Access Denied), so no share of current supply is given. |
| Fundraising | — | Launch not yet researched |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. GetBlockRewardForHeight pays the scheduled reward (500, 75, 70, 65, 55, 40, 25, 15 ... per 52,500-block period) as coinbase with no separate developer output; the project's take came from the pre-mine and the DDMS whitelist instead. source |
| Privacy | 4 | section average |
| Privacy (5 checks) | 4 | 2 of 5 passed source |
| Protocol level privacy (Keys not tied to an identity · Whitepaper §10) | ✓ | Electric Cash's Bitcoin-derived node (electric-cash/electric-cash) has no identity rule: anyone generates keys and receives and sends the coin. |
| UTXO ledger (A new key for each payment · Whitepaper §2, §9) | ✓ | |
| Network privacy (Origin hidden by default) | ✗ | Electric Cash Core v0.27.7 (Jan 2025, Bitcoin Core 0.21-era code): no Dandelion; Tor is only used if the operator runs and configures it. |
| Hidden amounts (Amounts confidential) | ✗ | Transparent Bitcoin-style amounts; no confidential transactions. |
| Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden) | ✗ | Transparent addresses and inputs; no ring signatures or stealth addresses. |
| Programmability (tokens, contracts, 5 checks) | 3.3 | 3 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance | 0 | No token issuance on the chain itself |
| Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions) | 1 | Electric Cash runs Bitcoin-style Script limited to spending conditions (signatures, hash locks, multisig); no contract VM or token introspection. |
| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | ✓ | OP_CHECKMULTISIG plus OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY and OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY, enforced from block 1 (BIP65Height and CSVHeight = 1 in Electric Cash Core chainparams). |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✓ | HTLCs built from Script hash locks (OP_SHA256/OP_HASH160) with a CLTV refund branch are standard Script, so cross-chain hash-locked swaps work on Electric Cash. |
| Native exchange (Built into the protocol) | ✗ | No exchange or order book in the Electric Cash consensus rules. |
| Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself) | ✗ | Electric Cash nodes verify no other chain; no protocol-level cross-chain messaging. |
| NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules) | ✗ | No token or NFT type in the Electric Cash consensus rules. |

Twenty criteria, weighted equally. The Cryptocurrency Standards have five sections: sound money (six qualities: scarcity, durability, fungibility, portability, divisibility, verifiability), scalability (four measures and three features), security (miner pay and seven checks), decentralisation (censorship resistance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share) and privacy (five checks); programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) follows them. Provisional: criteria marked — are not yet measured and are left out of the average. A rating of structure and market depth, not a price forecast or investment advice. How the grade is built · Highest-graded cryptocurrencies.
0 of a maximum 21,000,000 ELCASH are in circulation — 0.0% of the total that will ever exist.

Not computed: the README and MINING.md state 2,100,000 ELCASH (10% of the 21M cap, the first 4,200 blocks at 500 ELCASH) was pre-mined for the project's development, marketing, airdrops and staker rewards. In addition, consensus code (DDMS, consensus.fddms = true) only accepted coinbase outputs paying one of 100 hard-coded addresses until height 205,850, so all issuance to that height (~15.5M ELCASH on schedule) went to predetermined addresses, which makes that minting closed rather than open.

Not established. Founder named as Eyal Avramovich by Coinranking only; mainnet launched 2020-12-20.
Not established; no sale terms found, and the pre-mine was allocated to project activities.
GetBlockRewardForHeight pays the scheduled reward (500, 75, 70, 65, 55, 40, 25, 15 ... per 52,500-block period) as coinbase with no separate developer output; the project's take came from the pre-mine and the DDMS whitelist instead.
MINING.md presents mining after the 4,200-block pre-mine as ordinary, while the consensus code limited coinbase outputs to 100 hard-coded addresses until block 205,850 (about late 2024 on schedule). That is not stated in MINING.md and is not recorded under falseClaims, because the whitepaper could not be checked. Chain liveness today is unverified (market cap and circulating supply show 0).

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Electric Cash.
No SEC/CFTC determination — unclassified.
The regulator's position, reported as stated, not CoinSpectrum's. Assets nobody has ruled on are left unclassified rather than sorted by a guess.
Electric Cash is #331 among cryptocurrencies and #4345 in the market ranking, which lists wrapped coins, staked derivatives, stablecoins and tokens alongside them. CoinSpectrum counts an asset once, and counts only cryptocurrencies: assets with their own blockchain and their own consensus. A wrapped coin, a staked derivative or a stablecoin is a claim on something already counted; a token, memecoin or otherwise, runs on another chain's blocks. All of them are listed, each in its own section, and none is added to the total. The 4014 places between Electric Cash's two ranks are held by claims and tokens, not by other networks. The methodology sets out the rule and the counting rule argues for it.
The price above is the median of the exchanges the site reads live, checked every minute and cross-checked against a market snapshot (how market data is gathered). The grade is scored on published criteria, each with its source (the method). The site is independent, nothing on it is a paid placement, and its statements are signed (about CoinSpectrum, the manifesto).
