Bata (BTA)
Bata ranks #397 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5454: 5057 of the 5453 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 Bata 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.

| 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. Genesis 2014-09-06; the code pays 88 BTA for block 1 and 1 BTA for block 2, then 25 BTA per block, with no genesis allocation; no sale documented. source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | – | Launch not yet researched |
| Developer share (after launch) | – | Developer share: 1% of each new block reward goes to them today. Since the spork-activated move to the FXTC codebase, GetFounderReward requires 1% of each block's value to the founder address B689SM77Pe56wJze6KPywtKkva9rhPZZUc (masternodes take 75%, which is not a cut). The activation height and total paid are unknown, and whether the chain is still producing blocks is unconfirmed. source |
| Decentralisation | 10 | average of 2 parts |
| Governance (Source) | 10 | No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No freeze or clawback key, but Dash-style sporks let the spork-key holder switch consensus features (for example the founder-reward check) on or off. source |

| Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11) | – | Unclear whether the Dash-derived FXTC code enables an instant-send mechanism on Bata; no documentation found. |
| Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7) | ✓ | BATA Core v0.17.1.17 (May 2019, Dash/Bitcoin 0.15-era code): -prune keeps the UTXO set and recent blocks. |
| Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8) | ✓ | BATA Core v0.17.1.17 (May 2019, Dash/Bitcoin 0.15-era code) serves BIP37 Merkle proofs to SPV clients, which check the multi-algorithm proof of work in headers. |
| 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 | Bata's Bitcoin-derived node (BTA-BATA/Bataoshi) 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. |

| 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 | BATA Core v0.17.1.17 (May 2019, Dash/Bitcoin 0.15-era code): no Dandelion; Tor is only used if the operator runs and configures it. |
| Programmability | 1.4 | 1 of 7 points, 2 not yet researched source |
| Token issuance | 0 | No token issuance on the chain itself |
| Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions) | 1 | Bata 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 is present and CLTV is set for BIP65Height 1,000,000, but no working explorer was found to confirm the chain passed that height, and the CSV deployment's activation is unknown. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | – | Not established: OP_CHECKMULTISIG is present and CLTV is set for BIP65Height 1,000,000, but no working explorer was found to confirm the chain passed that height, and the CSV deployment's activation is unknown. |
| 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) | ✗ | Bata 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 Bata 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

| Developer share of new coins today | 1% |
Genesis 2014-09-06; the code pays 88 BTA for block 1 and 1 BTA for block 2, then 25 BTA per block, with no genesis allocation; no sale documented.
Not documented; project website bata.io no longer resolves and bata.digital is a parked domain.
No information on any sale found.
Since the spork-activated move to the FXTC codebase, GetFounderReward requires 1% of each block's value to the founder address B689SM77Pe56wJze6KPywtKkva9rhPZZUc (masternodes take 75%, which is not a cut). The activation height and total paid are unknown, and whether the chain is still producing blocks is unconfirmed.
The project appears defunct: no explorer, the website is gone and there are no commits since 2021. Whether the chain still produces blocks could not be confirmed; many fields are null for that reason.

How CoinSpectrum ranks Bata
Bata is #397 among cryptocurrencies and #5454 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 5057 places between Bata'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).
