GlobalBoost (BSTY)

BSTY price chart

GlobalBoost ranks #360 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5266: 4906 of the 5265 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 GlobalBoost 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.

Holder concentration (Source)	–	Not yet measured
Active addresses	–	Not yet measured
Premine (allocated at launch)	10	0% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. No allocation in the code: GetBlockSubsidy pays 347 BSTY a block for the first 17,291 blocks (about 6.0M BSTY, roughly a quarter of today's 24.71M) and then 50 BSTY halving every 240,000 blocks, all to whoever mines. The chain launched publicly from a BitcoinTalk ANN on 8-9 September 2014 (genesis 2014-09-08); the predecessor BST thread stated 'Premine: 0%'. Who mined the high-reward early blocks is not documented. source
Fundraising (share sold) (Source)	10	No sale of the coin source
Developer share (after launch)	10	No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. No cut: the whole block subsidy goes to the miner (Bitcoin-style GetBlockSubsidy with no development fund output). source
Decentralisation	6.7	average of 3 parts
Governance (Source)	10	No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No protocol-level party can freeze, blacklist or claw back coins or halt the chain. source

Features (3 checks)	6.7	2 of 3 passed
Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11)	✗	Ten-minute probabilistic blocks on a Bitcoin Core 25 base that relays BIP125 opt-in replace-by-fee, with no double-spend proofs or instant locks.
Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7)	✓	GlobalBoost-Y 25.x (Jul 2023): -prune keeps the UTXO set and recent blocks.
Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8)	✓	GlobalBoost-Y 25.x serves BIP37 Merkle proofs and BIP157 filters to SPV clients checking Yescrypt proof of work.
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	GlobalBoost's Bitcoin-derived node (GlobalBoost/GlobalBoost-Y) 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	Transparent Bitcoin-style amounts; no confidential transactions.
Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden)	0	Transparent addresses and inputs; no ring signatures or stealth addresses.
Network privacy (Origin hidden by default)	0	GlobalBoost-Y 25.x (Jul 2023): no Dandelion; Tor is only used if the operator runs and configures it.
Programmability	4.4	4 of 9 points source
Token issuance	0	No token issuance on the chain itself
Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions)	1	GlobalBoost runs Bitcoin-style Script limited to spending conditions (signatures, hash locks, multisig); no contract VM or token introspection.
Multisig and time locks (Without a third party)	✓	OP_CHECKMULTISIG plus CLTV and CSV, buried as active at heights 240,000 and 239,904 in GlobalBoost-Y 25.x chainparams.
Atomic swaps (With other chains)	✓	HTLCs built from Script hash locks (OP_SHA256/OP_HASH160) with a CLTV refund branch are standard Script, so cross-chain hash-locked swaps work on GlobalBoost.
Native DEX (Trades the coin itself, not a claim)	✓	Traded as itself, not as a wrapped token or a claim: Komodo DeFi.
Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself)	✗	GlobalBoost nodes verify no other chain; no protocol-level cross-chain messaging.
NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules)	✗	No token or NFT type in the GlobalBoost 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.

0 BSTY are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.

Launch and allocation

Premine (allocated at launch)	0% of today's supply
Sold by the issuer or insiders	0% of today's supply
Developer share received since launch	0% of today's supply
Developer share of new coins today	0%
Fundraising	No sale and no investor round

No allocation in the code: GetBlockSubsidy pays 347 BSTY a block for the first 17,291 blocks (about 6.0M BSTY, roughly a quarter of today's 24.71M) and then 50 BSTY halving every 240,000 blocks, all to whoever mines. The chain launched publicly from a BitcoinTalk ANN on 8-9 September 2014 (genesis 2014-09-08); the predecessor BST thread stated 'Premine: 0%'. Who mined the high-reward early blocks is not documented.

None documented; the project is run by GlobalBoost (later GlobalBoost Media), a Washington, DC company led by Bruce Porter Jr.

No ICO, presale or token sale is documented.

No cut: the whole block subsidy goes to the miner (Bitcoin-style GetBlockSubsidy with no development fund output).

The chain is alive but one multipool, zpool.ca, mines about 95% of blocks. The 347-BSTY early reward produced about 6M BSTY in the first ~17,000 blocks; it is counted as open mining because no allocation is documented. Circulating supply on the site's input (0) is wrong: the explorer shows 24.71M.

The work behind it

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for GlobalBoost.

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 GlobalBoost

GlobalBoost is #360 among cryptocurrencies and #5266 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 4906 places between GlobalBoost'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).
