Klever Coin ranks #175 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1239: 1064 of the 1238 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 1462 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 72% are tokens, 21% are claims on other assets and 7% are memecoins.

| Cryptocurrency Standards (Source) | 4.2 | group average, 12 of 13 measured |
| Sound Money Qualities (6 checks) | 3.3 | 1.3 of 4 points, 2 not yet measured source |
| Scarcity: a fixed cap that holds, and a supply near 21 million | 3.2 | fixed maximum supply of 10 billion, but an issuer or vote can mint outside the schedule: supply scale 6.4, cap 0 |
| Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal | ✗ | 6 full years since its first recorded price, one halt, freeze or reversal in five years |
| Fungibility: every unit interchangeable, none the protocol can freeze or set apart | ✗ | an authority can freeze funds: In June 2026 Klever froze about 136M KLV held in the exploiter's on-chain wallets and said the funds remain locked, showing that a central party can freeze ordinary addresses. |
| Divisibility: the smallest unit worth a cent or less | ✓ | 6 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $5.5e-10 |
| Portability: fees of a cent or less and capacity for real demand | – | typical fee $0.00034 |
| Verifiability: open-source nodes and checking without a trusted server | – | node software open source |
| Privacy (5 checks) | 2 | 1 of 5 passed source |
| Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity | ✓ | Accounts are created from keys users generate themselves; transfers are validated by signature, with no identity condition in the protocol. |
| 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) | ✗ | klever-go gossips transactions directly over libp2p; no Dandelion-style relay or built-in Tor. |
| Hidden amounts (confidential transactions, RingCT, shielded pools, Mimblewimble) | ✗ | Account balances and transfers are public. |
| Hidden sender and receiver (ring signatures or zero-knowledge proofs, one-time or stealth addresses) | ✗ | Sender and receiver addresses are public. |

| Block space per 10 minutes (32 MB or more 10) | – | not yet measured |
| Features (3 checks) | 5 | 1 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched |
| Payments safe to accept within seconds | ✓ | Rotating DPoS with PBFT-style commit by the 21 elected validators on each 4-second block, so a block is final once committed. |
| Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history | – | Storage pruning in klever-go (MultiversX-derived) not confirmed from its configuration. |
| Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server | ✗ | No light-client protocol; wallets query nodes or the API. |
| Security (miner pay and 7 checks) | 5 | 5 of 9 points source |
| Miners paid a day ($1,000 0, $10 million or more 10), 2 points | 0 | not mined |

| Real on-chain use: 1,000+ transactions a day | ✓ | about 6,673 a day |
| No 51% attack or deep reorganisation in five years | ✓ | |
| Programmability (tokens, contracts, 5 checks) | 7.8 | 7 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance at protocol level, validated by its own nodes | 2 | KDA native token standard lets any account create tokens for a KLV fee, without a contract; KVM smart contracts on mainnet since v1.7.14. |
| Smart contracts: a general-purpose contract system | 2 | KVM smart contracts (built to WASM) on mainnet since v1.7.14, alongside fixed native transaction types. |
| Multisig and time locks | ✓ | Native account permissions with signature thresholds (UpdateAccountPermission) give m-of-n multisig; time locks need a KVM contract that checks the block timestamp. |
| Atomic swaps with other chains | ✓ | KVM contracts can express hash-locked, time-locked escrow; no native HTLC transaction type. |
| An exchange built into the protocol | ✗ | Native Buy, Sell and Create Marketplace transactions run NFT marketplaces in the protocol, but no order book or AMM for fungible tokens was found; low confidence on whether market orders cover fungible KDAs. |
| Cross-chain messaging the chain verifies itself | ✗ | The Ethereum bridge is a Klever-operated bridge, not verified by KleverChain nodes; no bridge transaction type in the protocol. |
| Non-fungible tokens | ✓ | NFTs (and SFTs since v1.7.14) are native KDA asset types created with Create Asset. |

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 0.2 | 98.3% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. KLV was created by the Klever company in 2020 (first as a TRON token) and distributed through private sale, a public in-app sale and company holdings. No open mining. Initial supply 8,874,165,276 (CoinMarketCap) against 9,026,596,500 current total (CoinGecko, 2026-10-23) = 98.3%. The difference is later KleverChain issuance, treated here as staking rewards. source |
| Fundraising | 0.2 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 98.3% of supply was theirs to sell, 10% sold so far. 300M KLV sold in the 2020 private sale plus a TronWallet in-app flash sale (20-24 Aug 2020) offering 1.2B KLV at $0.003, whose sell-through was never published. 300M-1.5B / 9,026,596,500 KLV (CoinGecko total, 2026-10-24) = 3.3-16.6%, midpoint 10.0%. 300M KLV distributed in a private sale (private parties, VIP members, TWLT holders) before Aug 2020. A public flash sale of 1.2B KLV at $0.003 ran in TronWallet on 20-24 Aug 2020 (up to $3.6M). Klever says there was no venture capital. In March 2021, 629M KLV (about $77M) were burned in the KFI 'mine-burn'. source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. KleverChain block and staking rewards go to validators and stakers, who also receive 50% of bandwidth fees; the other 50% is burned. No foundation or company share of new issuance is documented, but Klever's own docs on reward distribution are thin. source |

| Exploit of the chain, 2026-06-04, −1 | ✗ | An attacker abused the settlement logic of the protocol's built-in NFT marketplace (referral plus royalty above 100%, so the negative seller debit was skipped) to mint about 486.4M KLV between 4 and 5 June 2026; about 136M KLV was frozen and a node fork fixed it on 5 June. |
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.

KLV was created by the Klever company in 2020 (first as a TRON token) and distributed through private sale, a public in-app sale and company holdings. No open mining. Initial supply 8,874,165,276 (CoinMarketCap) against 9,026,596,500 current total (CoinGecko, 2026-10-23) = 98.3%. The difference is later KleverChain issuance, treated here as staking rewards.
300M KLV distributed in a private sale (private parties, VIP members, TWLT holders) before Aug 2020. A public flash sale of 1.2B KLV at $0.003 ran in TronWallet on 20-24 Aug 2020 (up to $3.6M). Klever says there was no venture capital. In March 2021, 629M KLV (about $77M) were burned in the KFI 'mine-burn'.
300M KLV sold in the 2020 private sale plus a TronWallet in-app flash sale (20-24 Aug 2020) offering 1.2B KLV at $0.003, whose sell-through was never published. 300M-1.5B / 9,026,596,500 KLV (CoinGecko total, 2026-10-24) = 3.3-16.6%, midpoint 10.0%.
KleverChain block and staking rewards go to validators and stakers, who also receive 50% of bandwidth fees; the other 50% is burned. No foundation or company share of new issuance is documented, but Klever's own docs on reward distribution are thin.
How the initial supply split between company, sale and swaps isn't published. Whether the flash sale sold out isn't known, so soldPct is left empty (at most about 1.5B / 9.03B = 16.6% from the two documented sales). Revenue-funded burns reduced supply over time.

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.
Klever Coin is #175 among cryptocurrencies and #1239 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 1064 places between Klever Coin'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).
