Derive is a token. It has no blockchain of its own and no consensus of its own — it rents both from the chains it is issued on, which is why it is listed separately from the cryptocurrencies.

E — 39 out of 100, provisional (from 8 of 10 criteria, 28 October 2026 build). With what is not yet measured anywhere from nothing to full marks, the score would be 31 to 51 (E to D).

| Minting and supply (who can mint more) | 0 | Ethereum DRV is an upgradeable proxy owned by a Safe multisig (0x169a99…). In 2025, 500M (+50%) was minted to the Derive Foundation despite an earlier 'no new tokens' pledge.; no fixed maximum supply source |
| Premine (pre-issued at launch) | 3.3 | 66.7% of supply pre-issued at launch. Everything except LYRA's 500M community-rewards pool (staking and trading emissions) was allocated by the team, the foundation or the strategic mint. source |

Ten criteria, weighted equally — for a token, the host chain replaces the developer share, the asset class stands in for the consensus ladders, and who can mint more for the Cryptocurrency Standards. 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.

Everything except LYRA's 500M community-rewards pool (staking and trading emissions) was allocated by the team, the foundation or the strategic mint.
Lyra raised USD 510K pre-seed (34M @ $0.015), USD 3.3M seed (66M @ $0.05; Framework, ParaFi, Alliance, Jump and others), USD 500K private (5M @ $0.10) and USD 3M strategic (Q4 2022, Framework/GSR). Investor buckets total 135M LYRA.
Ethereum DRV is an upgradeable proxy owned by a Safe multisig (0x169a99…). In 2025, 500M (+50%) was minted to the Derive Foundation despite an earlier 'no new tokens' pledge.
The original LYRA split comes from Token Terminal, not an official source. Not established: whether all team/investor LYRA migrated, and whether the 270M strategic allocation was sold.

It is issued on 6 chains, which means 6 separate issuances of the same claim. Linked names are chains that are themselves cryptocurrencies with a page here.
CoinSpectrum counts an asset once. A token has neither its own blockchain nor its own consensus mechanism, so it fails both of the site's two conditions — it is a thing issued on a chain, and the chain is what is counted. The methodology states the rule, and the argument for it is set out in full.
Listed, not hidden. The point is that it is measured as what it is.
