Pkoin ranks #210 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1645: 1435 of the 1644 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 1885 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 76% are tokens, 19% are claims on other assets and 5% are memecoins.

Grade pending. Pkoin'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.

| Scarcity: a fixed cap that holds, and a supply near 21 million | 10 | fixed maximum supply of 24.4 million: supply scale 9.9, cap 10 |
| Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal | – | 5 full years since its first recorded price, record not yet reviewed |
| Fungibility: every unit interchangeable, none the protocol can freeze or set apart | – | |
| Divisibility: the smallest unit worth a cent or less | ✓ | 8 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $1.4e-9 |
| Portability: fees of a cent or less and capacity for real demand | ✓ | typical fee $5e-7; about 295 transactions a second (6.5 on the throughput scale; 5 is the busiest networks' median demand) |
| Verifiability: open-source nodes and checking without a trusted server | – | pruned nodes validate everything |
| Privacy (5 checks) | 2.5 | 1 of 5 passed, 1 not yet measured source |

| 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) | ✗ | Bitcoin-derived node relays its own transactions over clearnet by default; Tor (-proxy/-onion) needs user setup and there is no Dandelion. |
| Hidden amounts (confidential transactions, RingCT, shielded pools, Mimblewimble) | ✗ | Transparent UTXO amounts; no confidential-transaction or shielded feature. |

| Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server | ✗ | Pocketnet is proof of stake, so Bitcoin-style SPV cannot check the stake behind its headers, and no shipped light client verifies it; light wallets trust a server. |

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 10 | 0.4% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Per pocketnet.core source, the first 1,020 blocks (Jan 2019) were PoW at 50 PKOIN each, a documented instamine of ~51,000 PKOIN before the switch to PoS (5 PKOIN/block, halving every 2.1M blocks, partly paid as content 'rating rewards'). 51K / ~13.9M current = 0.4%.

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.
13,924,177 of a maximum 24,375,000 PKOIN are in circulation — 57.1% of the total that will ever exist.
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 0.4% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Developer share received since launch | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 0% |

No sale documented in sources found.
No cut. PoS block rewards go to the staker and, via the content 'lottery', to authors of rated posts/comments and their referrers (users), not to developers or a treasury.
Since PoS began when only the ~51K instamined coins existed, early staking rewards necessarily went to whoever held the instamine (presumably the developers). The brief doesn't count this, but it is a real concentration. Code read from the master branch, which may not be the current release branch.

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.
Pkoin is #210 among cryptocurrencies and #1645 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 1435 places between Pkoin'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).
