Abey (ABEY)
Abey ranks #88 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #524: 436 of the 523 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. Of the 532 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 49% are tokens, 43% are claims on other assets, 7% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

Grade pending. What Abey pays its miners is not yet measured. 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 | 94.9% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. DefaultGenesisBlock in core/genesis.go allocates 1,000,000,000 ABEY at genesis (990,000,000 to 0xEc1F80E553Bf43229EBA70d254E09DD188D604f2 plus 1,000,000 to each of 10 initial committee addresses); 1.0B / ~1.054B circulating today = ~94.9%.

| 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. The reward code (consensus/minerva/consensus.go) pays PoW block and fruit miners and the PoS committee/stakers; no developer or foundation output was found (a developerCoin variable survives only in a commented-out log line). Since the TIP9 upgrade (fast block 8,742,700) only committee (staking) rewards are paid, starting at 119.8368 ABEY per block halving every 25,000,000 blocks. source |

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) | 94.9% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Developer share received since launch | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 0% |
DefaultGenesisBlock in core/genesis.go allocates 1,000,000,000 ABEY at genesis (990,000,000 to 0xEc1F80E553Bf43229EBA70d254E09DD188D604f2 plus 1,000,000 to each of 10 initial committee addresses); 1.0B / ~1.054B circulating today = ~94.9%. Recipients are not publicly named; the ABEY Foundation (Vaduz, Liechtenstein) controls the project.
Not established: no ICO, presale or investor round found in the repository, press releases or aggregators.
No documented public or private sale was found. ABEY first traded on the ZBX exchange in 2020 at about US$0.61 per the Foundation's 2021 press release, but how the genesis supply reached the market is undocumented.
The reward code (consensus/minerva/consensus.go) pays PoW block and fruit miners and the PoS committee/stakers; no developer or foundation output was found (a developerCoin variable survives only in a commented-out log line). Since the TIP9 upgrade (fast block 8,742,700) only committee (staking) rewards are paid, starting at 119.8368 ABEY per block halving every 25,000,000 blocks.
go-abey is a fork of TrueChain (Minerva PoW 'snail chain' + TBFT committee). The genesis balance address held only ~0.005 ABEY on 2026-10-26, so the 990M has been moved on. After TIP9 the PoW chain earns no reward, so 'PoW oversight' is nominal; consensus is effectively DPoS/BFT.

The work behind it
No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Abey.
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 Abey
Abey is #88 among cryptocurrencies and #524 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 436 places between Abey'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).
