POA Network ranks #372 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5391: 5019 of the 5390 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. POA Network'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.

| Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity | ✓ | Open EVM accounts on the former chain; only validators were notarised, which is not this field. |
| 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) | – | POA Network merged into Gnosis Chain in 2022 and its core RPC no longer answers, so there is no live chain to grade. |
| Hidden amounts (confidential transactions, RingCT, shielded pools, Mimblewimble) | – | POA Network merged into Gnosis Chain in 2022 and its core RPC no longer answers, so there is no live chain to grade. |
| Hidden sender and receiver (ring signatures or zero-knowledge proofs, one-time or stealth addresses) | – | POA Network merged into Gnosis Chain in 2022 and its core RPC no longer answers, so there is no live chain to grade. |

| Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history | – | POA Network merged into Gnosis Chain in 2022 and its core RPC no longer answers, so there is no live chain to grade. |
| Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server | – | POA Network merged into Gnosis Chain in 2022 and its core RPC no longer answers, so there is no live chain to grade. |

| Smart contracts | – | POA Network wound down after its 2021-2022 swap into STAKE on xDai (Gnosis Chain); its core RPC no longer answers and its Blockscout explorer returns 503, so there is no live mainnet to check. |

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 POA are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.
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.
POA Network is #372 among cryptocurrencies and #5391 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 5019 places between POA Network'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).
