Vaulta ranks #57 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #214: 157 of the 213 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 217 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 48% are claims on other assets, 45% are tokens and 6% are memecoins.

| Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal | ✓ | 9 full years since its first recorded price, no halt, freeze or reversal in five years |
| Fungibility: every unit interchangeable, none the protocol can freeze or set apart | ✗ | an authority can freeze funds: A 15-of-21 block-producer multisig can change any account's permissions or freeze it, as producers did under ECAF orders in 2018. |
| Divisibility: the smallest unit worth a cent or less | ✓ | 4 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $0.0000090 |

| Holder concentration (Source) | — | Not yet measured |
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 4 | 59.7% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. 1B EOS existed before the chain launched (900M sold in the 2017-18 ERC-20 ICO, 100M retained by Block.one), against 1,675,089,693 A circulating (CoinGecko); against the 2.1B now issued on-chain (incl. undistributed reserves) it is 47.6%. source |
| Fundraising | 4 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 59.7% of supply was theirs to sell, 53.7% sold so far. Block.one's 2017-18 ICO sold 900M ERC-20 EOS, carried 1:1 into EOS and then Vaulta (A). 900M / 1,675.09M (CoinGecko, the same base as the premine figure) = 53.7%; against the 2.1B issued on-chain, including undistributed reserves, it is 42.9%. Block.one's year-long ICO (26 Jun 2017 - 1 Jun 2018) sold 900M ERC-20 EOS daily for ~$4B; SEC settled with Block.one for $24M over the unregistered offering. No separate private round identified. source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 9.4 | Developer share: about 6.2% of today's supply received so far; 38.7% of each new block reward goes to them today. The system contract's continuous_rate of 3.617% (~76M A/yr from the 2.1B pre-issued supply) splits 16.46% to block producers (inflation_pay_factor 60767) and 83.54% to eosio.saving. eosio.saving's live config passes 29.55% to eosio.grants (Vaulta/EOS Network Foundation) and 16.74% to eoslabs.io, with 53.71% to staking rewards, so 38.67% of emission goes to the foundation and Labs (set 1 Jun 2024, halving every 4 years from 2028). History: 4% of 5% to eosio.saving 2018-19 (~34M, later burned); 2% to the ENF from 25 Aug 2021 to Jun 2024 (~60M); ~70.5M since Jun 2024. Excluding the burned 34M, that is (60 + 70.5)M / 2,100M on-chain = 6.2% (7.8% if the burned coins are counted). source |

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.

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.
Vaulta is #57 among cryptocurrencies and #214 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 157 places between Vaulta'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).
