CannabisCoin ranks #264 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #2408: 2144 of the 2407 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 2678 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 80% are tokens, 17% are claims on other assets and 4% are memecoins.

Grade pending. Fewer than six of CannabisCoin's nine network-security points are measured yet. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

| Cryptocurrency Standards (Source) | 7.2 | group average, 10 of 13 measured |
| Sound Money Qualities (6 checks) | 7.3 | 4.4 of 6 points source |
| Scarcity: a fixed cap that holds, and a supply near 21 million | 4.2 | no fixed maximum; 321 million in circulation: supply scale 8.4, cap 0 |
| Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal | ✓ | 12 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 | ✓ | 8 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $1.2e-11 |
| Portability: fees of a cent or less and capacity for real demand | ✗ | typical fee $0.0000012; about 105 transactions a second (4.8 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; light clients verify from headers or proofs |
| Privacy (5 checks) | 4 | 2 of 5 passed source |
| Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity | ✓ | Addresses are hashes of keys users generate themselves; the node checks scripts and signatures, with no identity condition in its consensus rules. |
| 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) | ✗ | No Dandelion relay; Tor/onion is an optional -onion/-proxy setting in the Bitcoin-derived node, not on by default. |
| Hidden amounts (confidential transactions, RingCT, shielded pools, Mimblewimble) | ✗ | Transparent transactions: amounts are public on chain. |
| Hidden sender and receiver (ring signatures or zero-knowledge proofs, one-time or stealth addresses) | ✗ | Transparent addresses: sender and receiver are public on chain. |

| Features (3 checks) | 6.7 | 2 of 3 passed |
| Payments safe to accept within seconds | ✗ | The chain is not verified to be producing blocks; its Litecoin 0.8-era code would relay first-seen without replace-by-fee. |
| Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history | ✓ | -prune from its Bitcoin Core 0.13.2 base (feature since 0.11, 2015). |
| Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server | ✓ | Bitcoin-derived PoW header chain with BIP37 merkleblock and gettxoutproof Merkle proofs, so SPV wallets verify payments (Bitcoin §8). |

| Multisig and time locks | ✓ | CannabisCoin Core 0.13 (Bitcoin Core 0.13 base) carries CHECKMULTISIG, CLTV and a BIP9 CSV deployment (2018-2019 window); CSV activation was not confirmed, CLTV suffices for absolute time locks. |
| Atomic swaps with other chains | ✓ | HTLCs expressible with OP_SHA256/OP_HASH160 and OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY. |

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 9.8 | 1.6% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Block 1 of the X11 chain minted 21,882,000 CANN (GetBlockValue). The developer said this covered a swap for Scrypt-era miners; after a partial burn, about 5M CANN traceable to genesis stayed in a developer wallet 'to fund development and bounties' (Cointelegraph, 27 Oct 2014). 5M / ~321M supply = ~1.6%; counting all of block 1 as insider would give ~6.8%. source |
| Fundraising | 10 | No sale of the coin source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. GetBlockValue pays the whole subsidy (70 CANN after the fork, halving on a long interval) to the miner; there is no developer output in the code. source |

| Claims by its founders or lead company that contradict its own design | ✗ | In October 2014 the developer (Delta9) first denied controlling 13.5M CANN held in 27 genesis-traceable addresses, then said he had found the wallet files and kept about 5M for development; his later statement contradicts the denial (Cointelegraph, 27 Oct 2014). |

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.
321,124,783 CANN are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 1.6% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Sold by the issuer or insiders | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share received since launch | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 0% |
| Fundraising | No sale and no investor round |
Block 1 of the X11 chain minted 21,882,000 CANN (GetBlockValue). The developer said this covered a swap for Scrypt-era miners; after a partial burn, about 5M CANN traceable to genesis stayed in a developer wallet 'to fund development and bounties' (Cointelegraph, 27 Oct 2014). 5M / ~321M supply = ~1.6%; counting all of block 1 as insider would give ~6.8%.
None documented; the retained ~5M CANN was described as a development and bounty fund.
No ICO, presale or sale of the premine is documented.
GetBlockValue pays the whole subsidy (70 CANN after the fork, halving on a long interval) to the miner; there is no developer output in the code.
Launched 20 April 2014 as a Scrypt coin, then hard-forked to X11 (public ANN 23 June 2014). The old Scrypt chain was never published, so the swap amounts cannot be checked. clients is 0 because there has been no release in 24 months. The coin still has a quoted market price, but chain liveness could not be verified.

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for CannabisCoin.
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.
CannabisCoin is #264 among cryptocurrencies and #2408 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 2144 places between CannabisCoin'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).
