Supply

385,106,898 of a maximum 536,306,702 AE have been issued, 71.8% of the total that will ever exist.

The work behind it

Æternity is secured by 2.36 kH/s of its own work. Hashrate does not compare across algorithms — a SHA-256 hash and a Scrypt hash cost different amounts to produce.

What a regulator has said

No SEC/CFTC determination — unclassified.

Reported as the regulator's position, not ours. Assets nobody has ruled on are left unclassified rather than sorted by our own guess.

Why this ranking is shorter than the others

An asset counts once. Wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins are claims on something already in the list, so they are listed separately rather than added to the total. That's why Æternity sits at #170 here versus #1537 elsewhere — the 1367 positions between them are claims we don't count as separate assets. The methodology sets out both rules, and the counting rule argues for them.
