The CoinSpectrum Grade scores every asset from A++ to F on published criteria: seventeen for a coin and ten for a token. This list ranks the cryptocurrencies that have a grade; coins whose launch is still being researched are left off until it is, rather than graded on half the evidence.
The highest-graded cryptocurrencies are Bitcoin (A++), Bitcoin Cash (A++), Zcash (A+), Monero (A+), Litecoin (A+). The grade rewards a chain of its own, open minting, no premine and no insiders' sale, and a deep market.

Grades are provisional while holder concentration is being collected; it is left out of every asset's average equally. How the grade is built.
A published rating from A++ to F built from criteria scored 0 to 10 and weighted equally: consensus (two market ladders, each its own criterion; asset class for a token, ranked below every native coin family), the Cryptocurrency Standards in four parts: properties (ten checks drawn from the Bitcoin whitepaper: open minting, limited supply, no pre-issuance, no developer tax, no freeze authority, no central team, sub-cent fees, fast safe payments, UTXO, protocol privacy), scalability (fees, throughput, block time and block space, each on a scale; coins only), security (nine checks: miner pay, own hashrate, pool and validator concentration, clients, open-source node software, real use, no attacks) and decentralisation (who can mint, node count and holder concentration, each on a scale), then premine, fundraising, developer share after launch (coins only), liquidity (exchange count, the volume rank among the top 200 on a 30-day median, turnover, market cap and futures exposure, read live), supply (a fixed maximum, or the supply in circulation where none is fixed, the smaller the better), record (origin, claims and halts), age (a point for each full year since genesis, ten at most), development (steady work and improvements; token issuance 2 at protocol level, 1 through a metaprotocol or second layer; less unfixed vulnerabilities and exploits) and capabilities (six protocol features: network privacy, light clients, pruned nodes, payment channels, hidden amounts, hidden parties); the last three for coins only.
Bitcoin (A++), Bitcoin Cash (A++), Zcash (A+), Monero (A+), Litecoin (A+), Dash (A+).
No. It rates how an asset is built and how deep its market is, by published rules. It is not a price forecast and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
