Songbird (SGB)
Songbird ranks #329 of 489 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #4329: 4000 of the 4328 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.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)
Grade pending. No market cap or no daily volume is reported for Songbird by any source the site reads. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 2.3 | 76.6% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. All 15B SGB at genesis were allocated by the project: about 0.1511 SGB per XRP to the XRP holders of the Dec 2020 Flare snapshot, plus the same-ratio share to the other FLR allocation holders (Flare entities, team and backers). There was no open minting at launch. 15,000M / 19,575.5M current total supply (CoinGecko, 2026-10-23) = 76.6%. source |
| Fundraising (share sold) | 9.8 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 2.4% of supply sold. SGB was never sold directly. It was distributed at genesis at the same ratio as FLR allocations, so the FLR backers' 3.1% (bought in Flare's private rounds) carried ~465M SGB. 465M / 19,575.5M total supply (CoinGecko, 2026-10-23) = 2.4%. Flare Networks raised venture funding (Xpring investment Nov 2019; $11.3M from VCs and individuals June 2021, per Kraken). Whether SGB itself was sold in those rounds is not disclosed. source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. No cut. Songbird inflation is minted to the reward managers for FTSO data providers and delegators (FtsoRewardOffersManager 35%, FastUpdateIncentiveManager 15%, FdcHub 50% per the on-chain InflationAllocation contract), i.e. to the network's providers and validators, not to the Flare Foundation or a treasury. source |
| Programmability (tokens, contracts, 5 checks) | 7.8 | 7 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance (At protocol level) | 2 | ERC-20 contracts on its EVM, open to any account. |

| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | ✓ | Multisig and time-lock contracts on its EVM. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✓ | Solidity HTLCs can be deployed on its EVM. |
| Native exchange (Built into the protocol) | ✗ | No exchange in the protocol. |
| Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself) | ✗ | The Flare Data Connector is attested by voting data providers and verifier servers, not by the chain's own nodes verifying other chains. |
| NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules) | ✓ | ERC-721 contracts run by its EVM. |

Twelve criteria, weighted equally. The Cryptocurrency Standards are five of them: sound money (six qualities: scarcity, durability, fungibility, portability, divisibility, verifiability), privacy (five checks), scalability (four measures and three features), security (miner pay, pool diversity, network activity and four checks) and decentralisation (censorship resistance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share); programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) follows them, and supply and demand averages eight measures of the market, the wallets and the supply. 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.

No cut. Songbird inflation is minted to the reward managers for FTSO data providers and delegators (FtsoRewardOffersManager 35%, FastUpdateIncentiveManager 15%, FdcHub 50% per the on-chain InflationAllocation contract), i.e. to the network's providers and validators, not to the Flare Foundation or a treasury.
The split of the 15B between XRP-holder airdrop and Flare-controlled allocations isn't published for SGB. The Defiant reported that one 2021 announcement covered 30% of supply. Under the brief, a founder-designed airdrop counts as premine, so the whole genesis counts either way.

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 Songbird
Songbird is #329 among cryptocurrencies and #4329 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 4000 places between Songbird'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).
