Diamond (DMD)

DMD price chart

Diamond ranks #183 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1340: 1157 of the 1339 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 1590 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 61% are tokens, 32% are claims on other assets, 6% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)

A — 68 out of 100, provisional (from 10 of 10 sections, 10 November 2026 build). With what is not yet measured anywhere from nothing to full marks, the score would be 61 to 69 (B to A).

Section and criteria	Score	Basis
Consensus	9.1	average of 2 criteria
By leader (its largest chain's market cap) (Source)	9.1	Proof of stake: 9.1 of 10 on the ladder of consensus families ranked by their largest chain's market cap
By family (all its chains' market cap) (Source)	9.1	Proof of stake: 9.1 of 10 on the ladder of families ranked by the combined market cap of their chains
Supply	8.7	the supply scale times 0.9, and a point for a fixed cap that holds
Supply (21 million scores 10)	8.6	fixed maximum supply of 4.38 million
Distribution	10	average of 2 parts
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 genesis premine: v1 (2013) paid only random PoW rewards from block 1. The v4 relaunch (2025) put the 4.38M DMD into claim, reinsert, delta and DAO governance pots for v3 holders and validator rewards; none is a team allocation. The v2-v3 Foundation contribution is now scored as a block-reward cut. source
Fundraising (share sold) (Source)	10	No sale of the coin source
Developer share (after launch)	–	Developer share: 10% of each new block reward goes to them today. The v4 HBBFT chain (2025) sends 10/100 of each epoch's validator reward (governancePotShareNominator, adjustable 10-20% by the DAO) to the DAO governance pot; v4 rewards come from the pre-created delta and reinsert pots rather than fresh minting. Earlier, v2-v3 PoW blocks paid a Foundation contribution of 0.05 DMD (0.01 once 1M existed) until block 1,549,200, at most ~77k DMD. Neither total was read from a chain, so the cumulative share is not established. source
Decentralisation	2.9	average of 4 parts
Governance (Source)	0	An authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: The node spec has a daoHardforks mechanism that, once a DAO proposal passes and validators install the release, moves the balance of named accounts to a beneficiary; it was used on 2026-09-07 to take P2B and BitMart wallet balances. The system contracts are also upgradeable proxies. source
No central team (Source)	0	A central team directs it: The only node, DMDcoin/diamond-node (an OpenEthereum fork, GPL-3.0), and the system contracts are developed by the DMD Diamond core team / DMD Diamond Association, which drafts the DAO proposals and node releases. source
Who can mint (Source)	7	Gated by stake: any holder with enough stake can validate: access bought with coins
Nodes (Source)	4.7	25 active validators or block producers (source: Active)
Security	6	4.8 of 8 points source
Pool diversity (Largest pool 50% 0 to 20% 10, largest three 90% 0 to 50% 10; 2 points)	10	largest 5.93%, largest three 17.6%
Network activity (Transactions a day, 250 0, 500,000 or more 10; 2 points)	0	about 174 transactions a day
Hashrate (Own work 5, its power 1 kW 0 to 10 GW 5; 1 point)	1	not mined: another consensus, 1
Clients (Separate code and teams 10, separate code or teams 9, a fork by the same team or a stale second 8; one client: a new version within 12 months 7, 24 months 6, none in 24 months 5, none in 48 months 3; a second in development +0.5, a second seen running +1, 8 at most with one client; chain ended 0; 1 point)	7	one client, latest version Sep 2026

Throughput (2,478 a second, the busiest network's peak day, 10; 121, the median of the ten busiest, 5)	10	about 14,286 simple transactions a second
Block time (10 minutes 10, less either side)	6.4	a block every 1 minute
Block space per 10 minutes (24 MB or more 10: the ten busiest networks' median demand, 16.4 MB, and half again for growth)	10	18.8 MB limit (converted from its gas, compute, mass or count limit), 188 MB per 10 minutes
Features (3 checks)	5	1 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched
Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11)	✓	Honey Badger BFT gives deterministic finality when a block is produced, and a pending transaction triggers a block after the 3 s minimum block time (spec.json minimumBlockTime 3, transactionQueueSizeTrigger 1).
Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7)	–	Whether warp/snapshot sync without ancient blocks is served on DMD v4 was not established.
Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8)	✗	diamond-node (OpenEthereum lineage) offers no light client.
Privacy	3.5	3.5 of 10: whitepaper privacy 3.5 of 7, extra features 0 of 3, 1 not yet researched 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.
HD addresses (A new address for each payment, unlinked · Whitepaper §10)	–
Hidden amounts (Amounts confidential)	0	Account-based EVM chain with public balances and transfer amounts.
Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden)	0	Sender and receiver addresses are public; no ring signatures, ZK sender proofs or stealth addresses in the protocol.
Network privacy (Origin hidden by default)	0	Devp2p relays transactions directly from the sending node; no Dandelion-style relay or built-in Tor.
Programmability	7.8	7 of 9 points source
Token issuance (At protocol level)	2	ERC-20 contracts on the DMD v4 EVM chain (HBBFT + POSDAO), mainnet since late 2025, open to any account; third-party ERC-20s appear on its explorer.
Smart contracts (General-purpose)	2	EVM on the DMD v4 chain (chain ID 17771, OpenEthereum-based diamond-node), open to any account; blocks produced in October 2026.
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 cross-chain feature in the diamond-node client.
NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules)	✓	ERC-721 contracts on its EVM.
Demand	2.6	average of 6 measures
Exchanges (10 or more: 10)	1	1 exchange
Daily volume ($10K 0, $1B or more 10)	0	$6,588 traded in 24 hours; #2777 by volume on the exchanges the site reads (scored on the median day of the last 29, $5,960)
Turnover (volume ÷ market cap, 5% a day: 10)	1.9	0.15% of its market cap a day, median of the last 29 days

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.

3,730,787 of a maximum 4,380,000 DMD are in circulation — 85.2% of the total that will ever exist.

Launch and allocation

Fundraising	No sale and no investor round

No genesis premine: v1 (2013) paid only random PoW rewards from block 1. The v4 relaunch (2025) put the 4.38M DMD into claim, reinsert, delta and DAO governance pots for v3 holders and validator rewards; none is a team allocation. The v2-v3 Foundation contribution is now scored as a block-reward cut.

No sale found.

The v4 HBBFT chain (2025) sends 10/100 of each epoch's validator reward (governancePotShareNominator, adjustable 10-20% by the DAO) to the DAO governance pot; v4 rewards come from the pre-created delta and reinsert pots rather than fresh minting. Earlier, v2-v3 PoW blocks paid a Foundation contribution of 0.05 DMD (0.01 once 1M existed) until block 1,549,200, at most ~77k DMD. Neither total was read from a chain, so the cumulative share is not established.

The site has no label yet. A small founders' contribution is established (GetContributionAmount in v2) but its total was not read from a v3 explorer, so the figure is left blank; the ceiling is about 2%. Unclaimed v3 coins go to the reinsert and governance pots. The governance pot is DAO-voted, so it is not counted as insider.

How CoinSpectrum ranks Diamond

Diamond is #183 among cryptocurrencies and #1340 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 1157 places between Diamond'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).
