Dingocoin (DINGO)
Dingocoin ranks #223 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1739: 1516 of the 1738 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 2022 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)
A — 70 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 70 (B to A).
| Section and criteria | Score | Basis |

| Consensus | 10 | average of 2 criteria |
| By leader (its largest chain's market cap) (Source) | 10 | Proof of work: 10 of 10 on the ladder of consensus families ranked by their largest chain's market cap |
| By family (all its chains' market cap) (Source) | 10 | Proof of work: 10 of 10 on the ladder of families ranked by the combined market cap of their chains |
| Supply | 5 | the supply scale times 0.9, and a point for a fixed cap that holds |

| 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. Dogecoin fork created 1 April 2021 and launched on Bitcointalk 12 April 2021 as a fair launch: no premine, no team allocation; all coins are PoW-mined. 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. The coinbase may claim only the block subsidy plus fees (GetDingocoinBlockSubsidy in validation.cpp), all paid to the miner, so there is no developer fee or treasury share. source |
| Decentralisation | 10 | 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 |

| Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11) | ✗ | One-minute probabilistic blocks on a Dogecoin Core base, with no double-spend proofs or instant locks protecting zero-confirmation payments. |
| Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7) | ✓ | Dogecoin 1.14-based Dingocoin Core keeps -prune. |
| Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8) | ✓ | Bitcoin-style SPV: block headers plus Merkle-branch proofs (BIP37 merkleblock) served by full nodes. |
| 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 | Addresses are hashes of keys users generate themselves; the node checks scripts and signatures, with no identity condition in its consensus rules. |
| 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. |

| 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) | ✗ | No cross-chain feature in the protocol. |
| NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules) | ✗ | No token or NFT type in the protocol. |

| Age (years since genesis) (Source) | 5 | 5 full years since genesis. Block 1 mined 3 April 2021. Block 0 is Dogecoin's genesis block reused, with no Dogecoin history after it, so the age counts from block 1. source |

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) | 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 |
Dogecoin fork created 1 April 2021 and launched on Bitcointalk 12 April 2021 as a fair launch: no premine, no team allocation; all coins are PoW-mined.
No sale or venture round.
The coinbase may claim only the block subsidy plus fees (GetDingocoinBlockSubsidy in validation.cpp), all paid to the miner, so there is no developer fee or treasury share.

The work behind it
1.73 PH/s is recorded against Dingocoin, but it is merge-mined in part and the split between its own blocks and a parent's is not published — so its own share reads as unknown.
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 Dingocoin
Dingocoin is #223 among cryptocurrencies and #1739 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 1516 places between Dingocoin'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).
