XPR Network ranks #79 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #425: 346 of the 424 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. Of the 433 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 55% are tokens, 37% are claims on other assets and 8% are memecoins.

| Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal | ✗ | 6 full years since its first recorded price, one halt, freeze or reversal in five years |
| Fungibility: every unit interchangeable, none the protocol can freeze or set apart | ✗ | an authority can freeze funds: As on all Antelope chains, a 15-of-21 block-producer multisig (eosio.prods) holds privileged rights to change any account's code or keys; XPR producers must be approved and KYC-verified. |
| Divisibility: the smallest unit worth a cent or less | ✓ | 4 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $1.9e-7 |

| UTXO ledger: a new key for each payment, no account linking every coin | ✗ | |
| Network-level privacy: the node hides where a transaction came from (Dandelion++, Tor or I2P, on by default) | ✗ | Antelope nodeos relays transactions directly. |

| Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history | ✓ | Antelope nodeos --block-log-retain-blocks keeps only recent blocks; nodes start from snapshots. |
| Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server | ✗ | XPR Network runs Antelope nodeos, and no user light client ships for the Antelope stack, so wallets trust API nodes. |

Twenty criteria, weighted equally. The Cryptocurrency Standards have six sections: sound money qualities (six checks: scarcity, durability, fungibility, divisibility, portability, verifiability), privacy (five checks), scalability (four measures and three features), security (miner pay and seven checks), programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) and decentralisation (censorship resistance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share). 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.
28,652,669,445 XPR are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.

10B XPR at genesis (2020: 151M airdrop to MTL/LNX holders, 100M to venture investors in Metallicus, 1.1B founder/employee grants, 8.65B development) plus 14B added by the Feb 2022 'Phoenix' proposal (10B to Metallicus, 2B community, 1.5B marketing, 0.5B BPs) = 24B allocated by the developer, against on-chain supply 32,633,263,008 XPR (eosio.token, 2026-10-23); genesis alone is 30.6%.
100M XPR granted to early (venture) investors in Metallicus, the core developer; XPR itself was not sold in an ICO (airdropped to MTL/LNX holders; MTL had its own 2017 token sale).
No XPR sale was held. The only investor-delivered XPR is the 100M granted at genesis (2020) to venture investors in Metallicus, counted here like token warrants: 100M / 32,633,263,008 on-chain supply (eosio.token, 2026-10-23) = 0.3%. The airdrop to MTL/LNX holders is excluded, even though MTL had its own 2017 sale.
Not established. On-chain, inflation is 4%/yr (continuous_rate 0.0392 = ln 1.04; supply 32.64B). Block producers take part of it, and the rest flows through eosio.saving, which holds 134.6M XPR. A 2024 governance poll described the 4% as 1% block producers, 1% Consortium (ecosystem companies), 1% staking and 1% XPR/USDC yield farm, and voted to drop the Consortium's 1%. With the rate still at 4%, whether that 1% was removed or redirected, and the current eosio.saving split, could not be confirmed.

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.
XPR Network is #79 among cryptocurrencies and #425 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 346 places between XPR Network'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).
