Terracoin ranks #373 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5398: 5025 of the 5397 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.

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 10 | 0% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Launched 2012-10-26 with block 1 paying the normal 20 TRC (insight.terracoin.io); no genesis allocation, instamine or sale found. source |
| Fundraising | 10 | No sale of the coin source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 9.6 | Developer share: about 4.3% of today's supply received so far; 10% of each new block reward goes to them today. Since the Dash-based relaunch, GetBlockSubsidy reserves 10% of each block's subsidy for monthly governance superblocks from block 1,087,500 (2017), paid to masternode-approved proposals; unallocated budget is never minted. Upper bound: 1.01M + 0.53M + 0.04M = ~1.58M TRC of ~37.2M supply = 4.3%; the actual figure is lower. 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) | ✓ | Terracoin's Bitcoin-derived node (terracoin/terracoin) 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) | ✗ | Terracoin Core v0.12.2.5 (Mar 2020): 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 | Terracoin 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 CLTV, enforced once version-4 blocks are a supermajority (current blocks are version 4, block 3,330,156); CSV is a 2018 BIP9 deployment. |
| 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 Terracoin. |
| Native exchange (Built into the protocol) | ✗ | No exchange or order book in the Terracoin consensus rules. |
| Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself) | ✗ | Terracoin 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 Terracoin 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.

clients is 0 because no release in 24 months. Supply was not published by the explorer; ~37M is computed from the schedule. One pool, Mining-Dutch, found three quarters of blocks in the last 30 days. No 51% attack in the window was found in searches.

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Terracoin.
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.
Terracoin is #373 among cryptocurrencies and #5398 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 5025 places between Terracoin'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).
