Kujira ranks #215 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1677: 1462 of the 1676 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 1915 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 76% are tokens, 19% are claims on other assets and 5% are memecoins.

| Cryptocurrency Standards (Source) | 4.6 | group average, 10 of 13 measured |
| Sound Money Qualities (6 checks) | 5 | 2.5 of 5 points, 1 not yet measured source |
| Scarcity: a fixed cap that holds, and a supply near 21 million | 4.5 | fixed maximum supply of 122 million, but an issuer or vote can mint outside the schedule: supply scale 9, cap 0 |
| Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal | ✗ | 4 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 $1.5e-8 |
| Portability: fees of a cent or less and capacity for real demand | – | |
| Verifiability: open-source nodes and checking without a trusted server | ✗ | node software not open source; light clients verify from headers or proofs |
| Privacy (5 checks) | 2 | 1 of 5 passed source |
| Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity | ✓ | Accounts are created from user-generated keys in the Cosmos SDK auth and bank modules, with no identity check on holding or sending. |
| 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) | ✗ | CometBFT gossips transactions directly from the submitting node; no Dandelion-style relay or built-in Tor. |
| Hidden amounts (confidential transactions, RingCT, shielded pools, Mimblewimble) | ✗ | Bank-module and EVM transfers are public. |
| Hidden sender and receiver (ring signatures or zero-knowledge proofs, one-time or stealth addresses) | ✗ | Sender and receiver addresses are public. |
| Scalability (fees, throughput, block time, block space, features) | — | too few measures yet source |
| Fees ($0.001 or less 10, $1 or more 0) | – | not yet measured |

| Block space per 10 minutes (32 MB or more 10) | – | not yet measured |
| Features (3 checks) | 10 | 2 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched |
| Payments safe to accept within seconds | – | CometBFT gives single-block deterministic finality, but the current block time could not be measured because no Kujira endpoint answered on 2026-10-26. |
| Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history | ✓ | Cosmos SDK pruning plus CometBFT min-retain-blocks and state sync let a node keep current state and recent blocks only. |
| Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server | ✓ | CometBFT light client verifies headers against validator-set signatures (weak-subjectivity trust period), with IAVL Merkle proofs for state. |
| Security (miner pay and 7 checks) | 1.5 | 1 of 6 points, 3 not yet measured source |
| Miners paid a day ($1,000 0, $10 million or more 10), 2 points | 0 | not mined |
| Its own hashrate: at least half its algorithm's largest, not merge-mined | ✗ | not mined |
| Largest pool or validator under 50% | – | |
| Largest three under 75% | – | |
| More than one maintained client | ✗ | 1 |
| Node software is open source | ✗ | The only node, Team-Kujira/core (Cosmos SDK v0.47.12, CometBFT v0.37.18), is developed by Team Kujira (the Kujira Foundation, succeeded by the Kujira Operational DAO); the repository is public but has no licence file, so it is source-available, not open source. |
| Real on-chain use: 1,000+ transactions a day | – | |
| No 51% attack or deep reorganisation in five years | ✓ | |
| Programmability (tokens, contracts, 5 checks) | 8.6 | 6 of 7 points, 2 not yet researched source |
| Token issuance | – | Issuance is in the protocol, but the mainnet could not be reached to confirm it is live. |
| Smart contracts: a general-purpose contract system | 2 | CosmWasm (v0.45, enabled) on the Cosmos SDK chain; code uploads are governance-gated, but any account can instantiate and use contracts. |
| Multisig and time locks | ✓ | Cosmos SDK multisig accounts, and CosmWasm contracts that can check block time. |
| Atomic swaps with other chains | ✓ | CosmWasm contracts can express hash-locked, time-locked escrow. |
| An exchange built into the protocol | ✗ | FIN, its order-book exchange, is a set of CosmWasm contracts, not a chain module. |
| Cross-chain messaging the chain verifies itself | ✓ | IBC enabled (ics20-1), with channels to Osmosis, Cosmos Hub, Noble, Axelar and others in the Cosmos chain registry; low confidence on activity since the team moved to Rujira. |
| Non-fungible tokens | ✓ | CW-721 NFT contracts on CosmWasm. |
| Decentralisation | 4.8 | section average, 6 of 8 measured |
| Censorship resistant (Source) | 10 | No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No protocol-level freeze or blacklist of KUJI accounts and no party holding a halt power. 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.

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.
Kujira is #215 among cryptocurrencies and #1677 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 1462 places between Kujira'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).
