Cypherium (CPH)
Cypherium ranks #231 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1804: 1573 of the 1803 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 2083 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 61% are tokens, 33% are claims on other assets, 5% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)
Grade pending. What Cypherium 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.
| Section and criteria | Score | Basis |

| Consensus | 4.5 | average of 2 criteria |

| Holder concentration (Source) | – | Not yet measured |

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 0 | 99.9% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Mainnet genesis.json (chainId 16166) allocates 6,828,000,000 CPH to six addresses (2.5B, 1.848B, 1.008B, 0.672B, 0.6B, 0.2B); CoinMarketCap and MEXC list total supply at about 6.82-6.83B, so the genesis allocation is essentially all of current supply. The remaining ~1.6B of the 8.428B maximum is reserved for PoW key-block mining. source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | – | Sold by its issuer or insiders: share sold not yet researched. A 2018 TokenSoft crowdsale allocated 300M CPH (4.4% of the genesis supply), 20% released at mainnet and the rest over six months; private-round sizes and how much of the 300M sold were not found. Public crowdsale via TokenSoft (2018, KYC) with 300M CPH allocated; amount raised and any private/strategic rounds undisclosed in sources found. source |

| Protocol level privacy (Keys not tied to an identity · Whitepaper §10) | 10 | Accounts are derived from user-generated keys and the EVM checks only signatures and balances; no identity check is part of the chain's rules. |
| UTXO ledger (Separate outputs, change to a new address · Whitepaper §2, §9) | 0 | An account ledger: one running balance for each address, so the remainder stays at the sending address and its payments share one public history. |

| Programmability | 7.8 | 7 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance (At protocol level) | 2 | Solidity contracts on its go-ethereum-derived EVM (chain ID 16166), with no deploy allow list found; on-chain activity is now very low. |
| Smart contracts (General-purpose) | 2 | go-ethereum-derived EVM (cypherium-v2.0.0, chain ID 16166) with no deploy allow list found; the chain still produces blocks but activity is very low. |
| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | ✓ | EVM contracts can enforce m-of-n signatures and block-time locks. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✓ | Hash-locked, time-locked contracts can be written for its EVM. |
| 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) | ✗ | No protocol-level cross-chain messaging found. |

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) | 99.9% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Fundraising | Public sale |
Mainnet genesis.json (chainId 16166) allocates 6,828,000,000 CPH to six addresses (2.5B, 1.848B, 1.008B, 0.672B, 0.6B, 0.2B); CoinMarketCap and MEXC list total supply at about 6.82-6.83B, so the genesis allocation is essentially all of current supply. The remaining ~1.6B of the 8.428B maximum is reserved for PoW key-block mining.
Public crowdsale via TokenSoft (2018, KYC) with 300M CPH allocated; amount raised and any private/strategic rounds undisclosed in sources found.
A 2018 TokenSoft crowdsale allocated 300M CPH (4.4% of the genesis supply), 20% released at mainnet and the rest over six months; private-round sizes and how much of the 300M sold were not found.
No published rule for how PoW key-block rewards are split; the node source does not document a developer or foundation share and the explorer does not expose key blocks.
The genesis file shows a near-total premine: 6.828B CPH in six addresses against ~6.83B total supply. Transaction blocks are all led by a single address, and activity is minimal. Tokenomics posts on Medium could not be read (Cloudflare), so the purpose of each genesis address is unknown.

The work behind it
No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Cypherium.
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 Cypherium
Cypherium is #231 among cryptocurrencies and #1804 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 1573 places between Cypherium'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).
