2GIVE (2GIVE)
2GIVE ranks #429 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5489: 5060 of the 5488 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 2GIVE 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) | 0.5 | 94.6% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. The Strength in Numbers Foundation generated the first 500M coins in the first 500 blocks (2give.info; the code pays 1,000,000 coins per proof-of-work block up to the cutoff and 0 after). 500M / 528.44M total supply (CoinMarketCap) = 94.6%; everything since has come from 5% a year staking. source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | – | Launch not yet researched |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. No cut: after the foundation's 500 proof-of-work blocks, new coins come only from proof-of-stake interest paid to stakers (up to 5% a year), and proof-of-work blocks earn only fees. source |

| Features (3 checks) | 0 | 0 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched |
| Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11) | – | The code (a PPCoin/Bitcoin 0.8-era fork) relays first-seen with no replace-by-fee, but no live network could be observed. |
| Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7) | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): no -prune option; the node keeps the full block history. |
| Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8) | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): hybrid PoW/PoS chain; stake blocks cannot be checked from headers without the UTXO set and the protocol has no light-client proof scheme. |
| Privacy | 7 | 7 of 10: whitepaper privacy 7 of 7, extra features 0 of 3, 1 not yet researched source |
| Protocol level privacy (Keys not tied to an identity · Whitepaper §10) | 10 | 2GIVE's Bitcoin-derived node (LittleDuke/2GIVE) has no identity rule: anyone generates keys and receives and sends the coin. |
| UTXO ledger (Separate outputs, change to a new address · Whitepaper §2, §9) | 10 | Coins are separate unspent outputs: a payment spends whole outputs and sends the change to a new address, so the coins in one wallet need not share a history. |
| HD addresses (A new address for each payment, unlinked · Whitepaper §10) | – | |
| Hidden amounts (Amounts confidential) | 0 | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): Bitcoin-style transparent outputs; no confidential amounts. |
| Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden) | 0 | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): Bitcoin-style transparent addresses; no ring signatures, zero-knowledge spends or stealth addresses. |
| Network privacy (Origin hidden by default) | 0 | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): no Dandelion relay in the node; Tor is only an optional proxy setting (-tor/-onion) the user must configure. |
| Programmability | 1.1 | 1 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance | 0 | No token issuance on the chain itself |
| Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions) | 1 | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): Bitcoin-style Script (signatures, hashes, CHECKMULTISIG) limited to spending conditions; no contract platform. |
| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): CHECKMULTISIG is present, but the script interpreter has no OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY or OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY (the code base predates BIP65/BIP112), so no output can be time-locked. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): without a lock-time opcode Script cannot express the refund branch of an HTLC, and no adaptor-signature swap exists for the coin. |
| Native DEX (Trades the coin itself, not a claim) | ✗ | No DEX found trading the coin itself: none on its own chain (DefiLlama), and not on THORChain, Maya, Chainflip, Komodo DeFi, BasicSwap, Bisq or Haveno (checked 2026-11-04). |
| Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself) | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): no cross-chain message or light-client verification in the protocol. |
| NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules) | ✗ | 2GIVE source (last commit Dec 2017): no token or NFT type in the consensus rules. |

Ten sections, weighted equally, each 0 to 10: consensus (the two ladders), supply (the supply scale and a fixed cap that holds), distribution (premine, fundraising, developer share, holders), decentralisation (governance, no central team, who can mint, nodes), security, scalability, privacy, programmability (what the scripting layer can do beyond the whitepaper's payment system), demand, and record (age, development, conduct). They are built from the criteria in the second table: privacy, scalability, security and decentralisation are the Cryptocurrency Standards among them, as follows: privacy (the whitepaper's three checks a base of 7 of 10, three extra features up to 3 more), scalability (four measures and three features), security (pool diversity, network activity, hashrate, clients and two checks) and decentralisation (governance, 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 are two: the supply, scored against 21 million, and demand, the average of seven measures of the market and the wallets. Provisional: parts 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.

Launch and allocation
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 94.6% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Developer share received since launch | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 0% |
The Strength in Numbers Foundation generated the first 500M coins in the first 500 blocks (2give.info; the code pays 1,000,000 coins per proof-of-work block up to the cutoff and 0 after). 500M / 528.44M total supply (CoinMarketCap) = 94.6%; everything since has come from 5% a year staking.
No ICO or sale is documented; the coin succeeded GiveCoin and is supported by the Strength in Numbers Foundation, a non-profit digital trust.
Not established: how the foundation distributed the 500M (for example to holders of the predecessor GiveCoin) is not documented.
No cut: after the foundation's 500 proof-of-work blocks, new coins come only from proof-of-stake interest paid to stakers (up to 5% a year), and proof-of-work blocks earn only fees.
Listed as Scrypt PoW + PoS, but proof-of-work only minted the foundation's 500M launch supply; the chain has been proof-of-stake since. Probably dead (code untouched since 2017, explorer offline).

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 2GIVE
2GIVE is #429 among cryptocurrencies and #5489 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 5060 places between 2GIVE'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).
