Eternity (ENT)
Eternity ranks #443 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5506: 5063 of the 5505 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 Eternity 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.

| 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. Eternity Core (a Dash fork, genesis 17 Sep 2016) has no premine or instamine in its consensus code: block subsidy is difficulty-based between 1 and 25 ENT from block 1, reduced by one-sixth every 210,240 blocks. source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | 10 | No sale of the coin source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 9 | Developer share: about 10% of today's supply received so far; no share of new block rewards today. Dash-style governance: 10% of each block's issuance is reserved for superblock budget proposals when SPORK_6 is active, and half of the remainder goes to masternodes ('Eternitynodes'). Whether the chain still runs is unknown, so the current cut is not established. source |
| Decentralisation | 6.7 | average of 3 parts |
| Governance (Source) | 10 | No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No freeze or admin key in the code (sporks toggle features but cannot freeze balances). source |

| Features (3 checks) | 10 | 2 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched |
| Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11) | – | The Dash 0.12-era code includes InstantSend locks via masternodes, but no live network was found to confirm it operates. |
| Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7) | ✓ | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): -prune deletes old block files and keeps the UTXO set and recent blocks (not with -txindex, so not on Eternitynodes). |
| Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8) | ✓ | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): proof-of-work chain whose node serves BIP37 bloom-filtered merkleblock proofs, so an SPV client can check headers and Merkle proofs. |
| 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 | Eternity's Bitcoin-derived node (eternity-group/eternity) 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. |
| HD addresses (A new address for each payment, unlinked · Whitepaper §10) | – | |
| Hidden amounts (Amounts confidential) | 0 | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): Bitcoin-style transparent outputs; no confidential amounts. |
| Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden) | 0 | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): Bitcoin-style transparent addresses; no ring signatures, zero-knowledge spends or stealth addresses. |
| Network privacy (Origin hidden by default) | 0 | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): no Dandelion relay in the node; Tor is only an optional proxy setting (-tor/-onion) the user must configure. |
| Programmability | 3.3 | 3 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance | 0 | No token issuance on the chain itself |
| Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions) | 1 | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): Bitcoin-style Script limited to spending conditions; no contract platform. |
| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | ✓ | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): CHECKMULTISIG plus OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY and OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY enforced by the block-validation script flags (src/main.cpp). Enforcement starts once version-4 blocks reach a supermajority. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✓ | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): hash-locked, CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY-refund HTLC scripts are expressible, as in Bitcoin. |
| 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) | ✗ | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): no cross-chain message or light-client verification in the protocol. |
| NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules) | ✗ | Eternity Core 0.12.1.8 (Feb 2020): no token or NFT type in the 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.

How CoinSpectrum ranks Eternity
Eternity is #443 among cryptocurrencies and #5506 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 5063 places between Eternity'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).
