Hacash (HAC)

Hacash ranks #280 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1816: 1536 of the 1815 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 2866 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 81% are tokens, 16% are claims on other assets and 3% are memecoins.

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.

Genesis (2019-02-04) pays a normal 1 HAC reward. The schedule (BLOCK_REWARD_SCHEDULE: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8... HAC per 100,000-block step) runs from block one; no allocation, ICO or presale found.

No sale documented.

The coinbase pays the full block reward to the miner address; no developer or foundation output in hacash/fullnode.

The block reward runs 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, then 8 HAC (x10 steps), then 5, 3, 2 and 1 HAC per 100,000 blocks, then 1 HAC forever (no hard cap; ~22M by block 6.6M). HACD 'diamonds' are a separate mined asset bought with burned HAC. One pool, 'world pool', found two thirds of blocks in the last 30 days.

The work behind it

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Hacash.

What a regulator has said

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.

How CoinSpectrum ranks Hacash

Hacash is #280 among cryptocurrencies and #1816 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 1536 places between Hacash'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).
