Raptoreum (RTM)

Raptoreum ranks #493 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5805: 5312 of the 5804 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.

Scarcity: a fixed cap that holds, and a supply near 21 million8fixed maximum supply of 21 billion: supply scale 6, cap 10
Durability: five years or more with no halt, freeze or reversal✓5 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✓8 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $5.5e-13
Portability: fees of a cent or less and capacity for real demand✗typical fee $4e-10; about 74 transactions a second (4.2 on the throughput scale; 5 is the busiest networks' median demand)
Verifiability: open-source nodes and checking without a trusted server✓node software open source; light clients verify from headers or proofs
Privacy (5 checks)42 of 5 passed source
Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity✓Raptoreum's Bitcoin-derived node (Raptor3um/raptoreum) 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)✗Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): no Dandelion relay in the node; Tor is only an optional proxy setting (-tor/-onion) the user must configure.
Hidden amounts (confidential transactions, RingCT, shielded pools, Mimblewimble)✗Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): Bitcoin-style transparent outputs; no confidential amounts.
Hidden sender and receiver (ring signatures or zero-knowledge proofs, one-time or stealth addresses)✗Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): Bitcoin-style transparent addresses; no ring signatures, zero-knowledge spends or stealth addresses.

Payments safe to accept within seconds–Raptoreum inherits Dash's LLMQ InstantSend and ChainLocks, but both are spork-gated (default OFF in spork.h) and whether InstantSend is currently enabled on mainnet could not be verified; two-minute blocks alone would not qualify.
Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history✓Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): -prune deletes old block files and keeps the UTXO set and recent blocks (requires -disablegovernance; not on Smartnodes).
Light clients verify payments from headers or proofs, without a trusted server✓Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): proof-of-work chain whose node serves BIP37 bloom-filtered merkleblock proofs, so an SPV client can check headers and Merkle proofs.

Smart contracts: scripting for spending conditions1Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): Bitcoin-style Script limited to spending conditions; no contract platform.
Multisig and time locks✓Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): CHECKMULTISIG plus OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY and OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY enforced by the block-validation script flags (src/validation.cpp).
Atomic swaps with other chains✓Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): hash-locked, CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY-refund HTLC scripts are expressible, as in Bitcoin.
An exchange built into the protocol✗Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): no order book or market maker in the ledger rules.
Cross-chain messaging the chain verifies itself✗Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.01 (Sep 2024): no cross-chain message or light-client verification in the protocol.
Non-fungible tokens✓Raptoreum Core 2.0.3.00 (Aug 2024 hard fork): native assets with an isUnique flag give each token its own identity (NFT), created and transferred under consensus rules.

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

0 of a maximum 21,000,000,000 RTM are in circulation — 0.0% of the total that will ever exist.

Launch and allocation

Premine (allocated at launch)0% of today's supply
Sold by the issuer or insiders0% of today's supply
Developer share received since launch5% of today's supply
Developer share of new coins today5%
FundraisingNo sale and no investor round

No genesis allocation; the first 720 blocks paid only 4 RTM (anti-instamine), then 5,000 RTM per block to open GhostRider mining from February 2021.

No ICO or presale found; the development fund comes from the 5% founder reward.

No sale documented.

A 5% 'founder/dev fee forever' (FounderPayment, from block 250) goes to the Raptoreum development address on every block; since almost all of the ~7.09B RTM supply was minted after block 250, about 5% of current supply came through the cut.

Next reward reduction to 4,560 RTM is expected around 2026-11-08 (explorer). Smartnode rewards are not a cut (they pay node operators). A project press release claims ChainLocks limit reorganisations to one block; no 51% attack or halt in the window was found.

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 Raptoreum

Raptoreum is #493 among cryptocurrencies and #5805 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 5312 places between Raptoreum'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).
