Geode Chain ranks #103 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #660: 557 of the 659 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 666 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 53% are tokens, 38% are claims on other assets, 8% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

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 the grade is built · Highest-graded cryptocurrencies.
11,748,809,322 GEODE are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.

| Fundraising | No sale and no investor round |
Mainnet chain spec (GeodeSpec20230211RAW.json) sets Balances.TotalIssuance at 9,000,000,010 GEODE (12 decimals inferred) across 25 genesis accounts, against total supply 11.777B GEODE (CoinGecko); recipients of the genesis balances are not disclosed.
Whitepaper: the team was self-funded and tokens were not offered for pre-launch investment before mainnet; no ICO or investor rounds reported.
A treasury cut exists but its size is not established. The published runtime (Substrate node template) mints on a reward curve with max inflation 10% (min 2.5%, ideal stake 50%) and sets RewardRemainder = Treasury, so the gap between 10% and the staker payout is minted to the treasury (with 50% of unspent treasury burned each 28-day spend period). The share depends on the staked ratio, which was not found, and it is not confirmed that this code is the deployed runtime.

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.
Geode Chain is #103 among cryptocurrencies and #660 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 557 places between Geode Chain'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).
