Paladeum ranks #345 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #4572: 4227 of the 4571 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.

Grade pending. Paladeum'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.

| Cryptocurrency Standards (Source) | 6 | group average, 5 of 13 measured |
| Sound Money Qualities (6 checks) | 4.8 | 1.9 of 4 points, 2 not yet measured |
| Scarcity: a fixed cap that holds, and a supply near 21 million | 8.9 | fixed maximum supply of 1 billion: supply scale 7.8, cap 10 |
| Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal | ✗ | 3 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 $1.5e-9 |
| Portability: fees of a cent or less and capacity for real demand | ✗ | typical fee $0.00035; about 104 transactions a second (4.8 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 |
| Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity | ✓ | Paladeum's Bitcoin-derived node (PaladeumBlockchain/Paladeum) has no identity rule: anyone generates keys and receives and sends the coin. |
| 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) | ✗ | Paladeum 1.7.0 (Aug 2023, Ravencoin/Bitcoin 0.15-era code): no Dandelion; Tor is only used if the operator runs and configures it. |
| Hidden amounts (confidential transactions, RingCT, shielded pools, Mimblewimble) | ✗ | Transparent Bitcoin-style amounts; no confidential transactions. |
| Hidden sender and receiver (ring signatures or zero-knowledge proofs, one-time or stealth addresses) | ✗ | Transparent addresses and inputs; no ring signatures or stealth addresses. |
| Scalability (fees, throughput, block time, block space, features) | 7.2 | average of 5 parts source |
| Fees ($0.001 or less 10, $1 or more 0) | 10 | typical fee $0.00035 |
| Throughput (2,478 a second, the busiest network's peak day, 10; 119, the median of the ten busiest, 5) | 4.8 | about 104 simple transactions a second |
| Block time (10 minutes 10, less either side) | 9.5 | a block every 13.8 minutes |
| Block space per 10 minutes (32 MB or more 10) | 6.5 | 6 MB limit, 4.36 MB per 10 minutes |
| Features (3 checks) | 5 | 1 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched |
| Payments safe to accept within seconds | – | |
| Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history | ✓ | Paladeum 1.7.0 (Aug 2023, Ravencoin/Bitcoin 0.15-era code): -prune keeps the UTXO set and recent blocks. |
| Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server | ✗ | Proof-of-stake headers cannot be checked without the chain state, and Paladeum 1.7.0 has no light-client protocol; light wallets trust servers. |
| Security (miner pay and 7 checks) | — | 0 of 3 points, 6 not yet measured |
| 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 | – | |
| Node software is 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) | 6.7 | 6 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance at protocol level, validated by its own nodes | 2 | Ravencoin-style native token rules (src/tokens): anyone can issue tokens, sub-tokens, unique and restricted tokens by paying a fee (10 PLB for a main token) to the protocol fee address. |
| Smart contracts: scripting for spending conditions | 1 | Ravencoin-derived Bitcoin Script for spending conditions plus fixed token transaction types; no general contract VM. |
| Multisig and time locks | ✓ | OP_CHECKMULTISIG plus CLTV and CSV, both switched on for mainnet (nBIP65Enabled = true in Paladeum chainparams). |
| Atomic swaps with other chains | ✓ | HTLCs built from Script hash locks (OP_SHA256/OP_HASH160) with a CLTV refund branch are standard Script, so cross-chain hash-locked swaps work on Paladeum. |
| An exchange built into the protocol | ✗ | No exchange or order book in the Paladeum consensus rules. |
| Cross-chain messaging the chain verifies itself | ✗ | Paladeum nodes verify no other chain; no protocol-level cross-chain messaging. |
| Non-fungible tokens | ✓ | Ravencoin-style UNIQUE tokens (KnownTokenType::UNIQUE in src/tokens) are NFTs in the consensus rules, issued by anyone for a fee. |

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.
0 of a maximum 1,000,000,000 PLB are in circulation — 0.0% of the total that will ever exist.
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.
Paladeum is #345 among cryptocurrencies and #4572 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 4227 places between Paladeum'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).
