DucatusX (DUCX)

DUCX price chart

DucatusX ranks #189 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #4389: 4200 of the 4388 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 1657 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.

C — 48 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 44 to 53 (C to B).

Section and criteria	Score	Basis
Consensus	7.3	average of 2 criteria
By leader (its largest chain's market cap) (Source)	7.3	Proof of authority: 7.3 of 10 on the ladder of consensus families ranked by their largest chain's market cap
By family (all its chains' market cap) (Source)	7.3	Proof of authority: 7.3 of 10 on the ladder of families ranked by the combined market cap of their chains
Supply	8.6	the supply scale times 0.9, and a point for a fixed cap that holds

Distribution	5	average of 2 parts
Holder concentration (Source)	–	Not yet measured
Active addresses	–	Not yet measured
Premine (allocated at launch)	0	100% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. DUCX is an Ethereum-fork chain launched by the Ducatus group in 2020 with a fixed cap of 777,874,205. Coins are 'produced and dispersed' by the company (Centurion Global) and sold through its affiliate network. No open mining or staking issuance was found. source
Fundraising (share sold) (Source)	–	Sold by its issuer or insiders: share sold not yet researched. Coins are sold by the Ducatus group through its affiliate network, but no sale volumes are published; ~278.1M DUCX of the 777,874,205 cap are reported circulating (ducatuscoins.com stats via CoinGecko), which would be an upper bound of ~35.8% if every circulating coin had been sold rather than paid out as affiliate commissions. Sold to retail through the Ducatus/Centurion Global affiliate (MLM) network. BehindMLM reports affiliates paid for recruiting buyers. Amounts are not disclosed. source
Developer share (after launch)	10	No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. No open issuance: the supply is capped at 777.9M, and the chain runs Clique proof-of-authority, which pays no block reward. Coins are distributed by the company, which falls under premine, not a reward cut. source
Decentralisation	0.9	average of 4 parts
Governance (Source)	0	An authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: All three Clique signers, fixed since the 2025 genesis, are operator-run; they can censor any transaction or stop the chain at will, and the operator has already relaunched the chain from a new genesis. source
No central team (Source)	0	A central team directs it: The network is run by the Ducatus group with the developer Rock'n'Block (RPC nodes ducx-mainnet-node1-3.rocknblock.io) on stock Geth (LGPL/GPL); there is no independent development. source

Features (3 checks)	0	0 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched
Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11)	✗	Clique proof of authority with 45-second blocks; no finality gadget or protected zero-confirmation.
Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7)	✗	Geth 1.13.15 prunes state only; full nodes keep every block.
Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8)	–	Geth 1.13.15 still carries LES, but no evidence that any DucatusX node serves it.
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

Smart contracts (General-purpose)	2	Clique PoA EVM chain (chain ID 26483) with open contract deployment; 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 protocol-level cross-chain messaging found.
NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules)	✓	ERC-721 contracts on its EVM.

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.

DUCX is an Ethereum-fork chain launched by the Ducatus group in 2020 with a fixed cap of 777,874,205. Coins are 'produced and dispersed' by the company (Centurion Global) and sold through its affiliate network. No open mining or staking issuance was found.

Sold to retail through the Ducatus/Centurion Global affiliate (MLM) network. BehindMLM reports affiliates paid for recruiting buyers. Amounts are not disclosed.

Coins are sold by the Ducatus group through its affiliate network, but no sale volumes are published; ~278.1M DUCX of the 777,874,205 cap are reported circulating (ducatuscoins.com stats via CoinGecko), which would be an upper bound of ~35.8% if every circulating coin had been sold rather than paid out as affiliate commissions.

No open issuance: the supply is capped at 777.9M, and the chain runs Clique proof-of-authority, which pays no block reward. Coins are distributed by the company, which falls under premine, not a reward cut.

No whitepaper allocation table was found. The 100 rests on the absence of any documented open minting and the company's role as issuer and seller. BehindMLM's characterisations are allegations. Circulating figures conflict (82.5M, 278M, 762M).

How CoinSpectrum ranks DucatusX

DucatusX is #189 among cryptocurrencies and #4389 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 4200 places between DucatusX'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).
