The CoinSpectrum Grade for eight of the coins audits ask about most, every criterion side by side, from the 28 October 2026 build. Each coin's column links to its own page, where every score carries its basis and its source. The method page gives every scale.

| Grade | A+ | A++ | A | A+ | A+ | A+ | A | C |
A grade is the average of the criteria an asset has, times ten, read against the bands: A++ from 90, A+ from 82, A from 74, B from 64, C from 52, D from 40, E from 25, F below. A dash is a criterion not yet measured, left out of the average rather than estimated. The same numbers for every asset are published at /api/v1/grades.json. Where an input is wrong, the grade is wrong: each one is sourced on the coin's page so it can be checked, and a correction changes the grade at the next build.
