BlockDAG Network (BDAG)
BlockDAG Network ranks #335 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #4561: 4226 of the 4560 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 BlockDAG Network 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.

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.

Public presale December 2023 to February 2026, reported at $435-452M by the project (sponsored coverage); the CEO reportedly told press the figure was closer to $200M. Mainnet/TGE in February 2026, exchange trading from 2026-03-04.
Presale allocation 50B (33% of max); October 2025 reports said more than 27B BDAG had been sold to over 312,000 buyers, but final sold amounts and current supply are not published.
No published block-reward split or node source found.
Large presale ($435-452M claimed) with contested figures; the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles reportedly warned against BlockDAG for unauthorised activity, though the notice itself was not found. A January 2026 DL News investigation reported undelivered presale mining hardware and unpaid staff, which BlockDAG denies, and ZachXBT alleged hidden leadership (Gurhan Kiziloz). All are allegations, not findings, so falseClaims stays null.

How CoinSpectrum ranks BlockDAG Network
BlockDAG Network is #335 among cryptocurrencies and #4561 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 4226 places between BlockDAG Network'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).
