2GIVE ranks #442 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5481: 5039 of the 5480 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. 2GIVE'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.
| Criterion | Score | Basis |

| Leading Consensus Mechanisms (Source) | 4.5 | group average |
| Consensus: leader ladder | 4.5 | Hybrid: 4.5 of 10 on the ladder of consensus families ranked by their largest chain's market cap |

| Cryptocurrency Standards (Source) | 4.8 | group average, 9 of 13 measured |
| Sound Money Qualities (6 checks) | 6 | 3 of 5 points, 1 not yet measured source |
| Scarcity: a fixed cap that holds, and a supply near 21 million | – | |
| Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal | ✓ | 10 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 | ✓ | no authority can freeze, blacklist or set apart a coin |
| Divisibility: the smallest unit worth a cent or less | ✓ | 6 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $6.4e-10 |
| Portability: fees of a cent or less and capacity for real demand | ✗ | about 55 transactions a second (3.7 on the throughput scale; 5 is the busiest networks' median demand) |
| Verifiability: open-source nodes and checking without a trusted server | ✗ | node software open source; no light clients or pruned nodes |
| Privacy (5 checks) | 4 | 2 of 5 passed source |
| Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity | ✓ | 2GIVE's Bitcoin-derived node (LittleDuke/2GIVE) has no identity rule: anyone generates keys and receives and sends the coin. |
| 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) | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): no Dandelion relay in the node; Tor is only an optional proxy setting (-tor/-onion) the user must configure. |
| Hidden amounts (confidential transactions, RingCT, shielded pools, Mimblewimble) | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): Bitcoin-style transparent outputs; no confidential amounts. |
| Hidden sender and receiver (ring signatures or zero-knowledge proofs, one-time or stealth addresses) | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): Bitcoin-style transparent addresses; no ring signatures, zero-knowledge spends or stealth addresses. |
| Scalability (fees, throughput, block time, block space, features) | 4.7 | average of 4 parts source |
| Fees ($0.001 or less 10, $1 or more 0) | – | not yet measured |
| Throughput (2,478 a second, the busiest network's peak day, 10; 119, the median of the ten busiest, 5) | 3.7 | about 55.3 simple transactions a second |
| Block time (10 minutes 10, less either side) | 7.5 | a block every 2 minutes |
| Block space per 10 minutes (32 MB or more 10) | 7.5 | 1.5 MB limit, 7.5 MB per 10 minutes |
| Features (3 checks) | 0 | 0 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched |
| Payments safe to accept within seconds | – | The code (a PPCoin/Bitcoin 0.8-era fork) relays first-seen with no replace-by-fee, but no live network could be observed. |
| Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): no -prune option; the node keeps the full block history. |
| Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): hybrid PoW/PoS chain; stake blocks cannot be checked from headers without the UTXO set and the protocol has no light-client proof scheme. |
| Security (miner pay and 7 checks) | — | 2 of 3 points, 6 not yet measured source |
| Miners paid a day ($1,000 0, $10 million or more 10), 2 points | – | |

| Largest three under 75% | – | |
| More than one maintained client | ✗ | 0 |
| Node software is open source | ✓ | Developed by lead developer David Duccini (LittleDuke) for the Strength in Numbers Foundation, which issued the supply; MIT-licensed code. |
| Real on-chain use: 1,000+ transactions a day | – | |
| No 51% attack or deep reorganisation in five years | ✓ | |
| Programmability (tokens, contracts, 5 checks) | 1.1 | 1 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance | 0 | No token issuance on the chain itself |
| Smart contracts: scripting for spending conditions | 1 | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): Bitcoin-style Script (signatures, hashes, CHECKMULTISIG) limited to spending conditions; no contract platform. |
| Multisig and time locks | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): CHECKMULTISIG is present, but the script interpreter has no OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY or OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY (the code base predates BIP65/BIP112), so no output can be time-locked. |
| Atomic swaps with other chains | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): without a lock-time opcode Script cannot express the refund branch of an HTLC, and no adaptor-signature swap exists for the coin. |
| An exchange built into the protocol | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): no order book or market maker in the ledger rules. |
| Cross-chain messaging the chain verifies itself | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): no cross-chain message or light-client verification in the protocol. |
| Non-fungible tokens | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): no token or NFT type in the consensus rules. |
| Decentralisation | 5.5 | section average, 5 of 8 measured |
| Censorship resistant (Source) | 10 | No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No protocol-level party can freeze or claw back coins. source |

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 0.5 | 94.6% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. The Strength in Numbers Foundation generated the first 500M coins in the first 500 blocks (2give.info; the code pays 1,000,000 coins per proof-of-work block up to the cutoff and 0 after). 500M / 528.44M total supply (CoinMarketCap) = 94.6%; everything since has come from 5% a year staking. source |
| 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. No cut: after the foundation's 500 proof-of-work blocks, new coins come only from proof-of-stake interest paid to stakers (up to 5% a year), and proof-of-work blocks earn only fees. 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.

The Strength in Numbers Foundation generated the first 500M coins in the first 500 blocks (2give.info; the code pays 1,000,000 coins per proof-of-work block up to the cutoff and 0 after). 500M / 528.44M total supply (CoinMarketCap) = 94.6%; everything since has come from 5% a year staking.
No ICO or sale is documented; the coin succeeded GiveCoin and is supported by the Strength in Numbers Foundation, a non-profit digital trust.
Not established: how the foundation distributed the 500M (for example to holders of the predecessor GiveCoin) is not documented.
No cut: after the foundation's 500 proof-of-work blocks, new coins come only from proof-of-stake interest paid to stakers (up to 5% a year), and proof-of-work blocks earn only fees.
Listed as Scrypt PoW + PoS, but proof-of-work only minted the foundation's 500M launch supply; the chain has been proof-of-stake since. Probably dead (code untouched since 2017, explorer offline).

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for 2GIVE.
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.
2GIVE is #442 among cryptocurrencies and #5481 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 5039 places between 2GIVE'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).
