Energi (NRG)

Energi ranks #257 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #2327: 2070 of the 2326 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 2592 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 79% are tokens, 17% are claims on other assets and 4% are memecoins.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)

Grade pending. Energi'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.

Divisibility: the smallest unit worth a cent or less✓18 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $4.5e-21
Portability: fees of a cent or less and capacity for real demand✗typical fee $2e-7; about 32 transactions a second (2.8 on the throughput scale; 5 is the busiest networks' median demand)
Verifiability: open-source nodes and checking without a trusted server✗no light clients or pruned nodes
Privacy (5 checks)2.51 of 5 passed, 1 not yet measured source
Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity✓Accounts are derived from user-generated keys and the EVM checks only signatures and balances; no identity check is part of the chain's 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 origin-hiding relay; the node gossips transactions over plain devp2p.
Hidden amounts (confidential transactions, RingCT, shielded pools, Mimblewimble)✗Account-based EVM transfers; amounts are public.
Hidden sender and receiver (ring signatures or zero-knowledge proofs, one-time or stealth addresses)✗Plain account addresses; sender and receiver are public.

Payments safe to accept within seconds–
Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history✗energi3 (geth-derived, v1.1.8 Jul 2024) keeps every block; it prunes state only.
Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server✗energi3 v1.1.8 still lists a geth-style light mode, but no LES servers are documented for the network; wallets use RPC.

Token issuance at protocol level, validated by its own nodes2ERC-20 contracts on Energi's EVM (Gen 3, geth-based, since 2020), open to any account.
Smart contracts: a general-purpose contract system2EVM in Energi Gen 3 (geth-based, since 2020), chain ID 39797, producing blocks on 2026-10-28.
Multisig and time locks✓m-of-n multisig and time-lock contracts (Safe-style wallets, timelock controllers) run on its EVM like on Ethereum.
Atomic swaps with other chains✓Hash-time-locked contracts are expressible in Solidity on its EVM, as in EVM HTLC swap implementations.
An exchange built into the protocol✗No exchange in the protocol; DEXs on the chain are user-deployed contracts.
Cross-chain messaging the chain verifies itself✗No protocol-level cross-chain messaging; the Energi bridge is an operator-run service.
Non-fungible tokens✓ERC-721 contracts run on its EVM.

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.

Supply

105,941,061 NRG are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.

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 Energi

Energi is #257 among cryptocurrencies and #2327 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 2070 places between Energi'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).
