Xertra ranks #121 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #793: 672 of the 792 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 795 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 63% are tokens, 28% are claims on other assets and 9% are memecoins.

Counted in old-STRAX units, then multiplied by 10 for the 2024 1:10 swap. The 2016 genesis premine was 98M STRAT: 84M ICO, 8M team, 2M advisors and partners, 4M bounties. The 2020 STRAT→STRAX transition minted another 25M: 8.125M Stratis Foundation, 6.375M network incentives, 5.5M enterprise incentives, 5M Stratis DAO.

| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. No developer or foundation share of block rewards was found. On the 2020-2024 Strax chain, the 18 STRAX block reward was split 9 to the staker and 9 to Cirrus sidechain masternodes, which are block-producing node operators, not a cut. Since StratisEVM (March 2024), rewards go to PoS validators. The 2020 mints for the Foundation and DAO were one-off discretionary mints, counted as premine. source |

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.

Public ICO ending July 2016 raised 915 BTC (about $600,000 then) for 84M STRAT. No separate private round was found.
No developer or foundation share of block rewards was found. On the 2020-2024 Strax chain, the 18 STRAX block reward was split 9 to the staker and 9 to Cirrus sidechain masternodes, which are block-producing node operators, not a cut.

The site has no label yet. The 2016 ICO split and the 2020 25M mint come from CoinMarketCap's project text, not a Stratis primary document. The 6.375M 'network incentivization' tranche is counted as a discretionary mint; it may have been paid to stakers. Without it the figure is 52.5%. Whether the 2024 StratisEVM genesis added anything beyond the 1:10 conversion was not established.

Xertra is #121 among cryptocurrencies and #793 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 672 places between Xertra'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).
