Hathor (HTR)

HTR price chart

Hathor ranks #205 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1620: 1415 of the 1619 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 1900 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)

B — 62 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 56 to 65 (B to A).

Section and criteria	Score	Basis

Distribution	6.7	average of 3 parts
Holder concentration (Source)	–	Not yet measured
Active addresses	–	Not yet measured
Premine (allocated at launch)	1.5	84.8% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. The genesis block created 1B HTR in a wallet controlled by Hathor Labs (allocated to private sale 8%, seed 5%, treasury 24%, team 10%, advisors 5%, 5-year vault 18%, etc.); 20% (200M) is a burn bucket. The remaining 800M against the current total of ~943.2M (MEXC, Mar 2026: 1B - 200M burned + ~143M mined) is 84.8%. source
Fundraising (share sold) (Source)	8.7	Sold by its issuer or insiders: 13.3% of supply sold. Private sale 75,070,653 HTR (~$0.5M per CryptoRank and CoinCarp), seed sale 5% (50M), and a small KuCoin IEO in Jul 2025 (700K HTR). Sold = ~125.8M / 943.2M = 13.3%. source
Developer share (after launch)	10	No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. The ~143M HTR mined since launch (Jan 2020) went to the miners of each block, through merged mining with Bitcoin. No developer or Hathor Labs share of the block reward was found. The Labs allocations come from the 1B genesis (premine). source
Decentralisation	3.3	average of 3 parts
Governance (Source)	0	An authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: Mainnet nodes run with ENABLE_PEER_WHITELIST, connecting only to peer IDs listed in a file Hathor Labs serves from its own S3 bucket (hathor-public-files), and the client hard-codes a SOFT_VOIDED_TX_IDS list of transactions it treats as voided; together these let one company decide who joins the network and invalidate specific transactions. source
No central team (Source)	0	A central team directs it: hathor-core (Apache-2.0) is developed by Hathor Labs, whose repository, release schedule and feature-activation criteria define the protocol. source
Who can mint (Source)	10	Open to anyone with hardware: anyone can produce blocks by mining, no permission needed
Nodes (Source)	–	Not yet counted
Security	3.5	2.8 of 8 points source
Pool diversity (Largest pool 50% 0 to 20% 10, largest three 90% 0 to 50% 10; 2 points)	0	largest 53.2%, largest three 98.6%

Block space per 10 minutes (24 MB or more 10: the ten busiest networks' median demand, 16.4 MB, and half again for growth)	–	not yet measured
Features (3 checks)	0	0 of 3 passed
Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11)	✗	Transactions enter the DAG at once but conflicts are resolved by accumulated weight rather than first-seen, and confirmation needs blocks; there are no instant locks or double-spend proofs.
Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7)	✗	Full nodes keep the whole DAG of blocks and transactions.
Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8)	✗	Wallets use full nodes or the wallet service; no proof-verifying light client.
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.
HD addresses (A new address for each payment, unlinked · Whitepaper §10)	–
Hidden amounts (Amounts confidential)	0	Shielded-output headers in hathor-core v0.71.0 (2026) are gated off on mainnet; amounts are public.
Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden)	0	Transparent addresses.
Network privacy (Origin hidden by default)	0	hathor-core relays transactions directly; no Dandelion or Tor.
Programmability	6.7	6 of 9 points source
Token issuance (At protocol level)	2	Custom tokens are native to the protocol and any wallet can create them (deposit or fee based), plus nano contracts on mainnet.
Smart contracts (General-purpose)	2	Nano contracts (Python blueprints) on mainnet in a controlled rollout, with Dozer Finance announced as the first DEX on Hathor mainnet; anyone can create contracts from blueprints, but new blueprints still need Hathor Labs approval and signature.
Multisig and time locks (Without a third party)	✓	OP_CHECKMULTISIG (P2SH multisig) and OP_GREATERTHAN_TIMESTAMP plus output timelocks in its script.
Atomic swaps (With other chains)	✗	Its script has OP_HASH160 but no branching (no OP_IF), so a claim-or-refund HTLC cannot be written, and no HTLC blueprint was found; Hathor's 'atomic swap' is a same-chain multi-party token trade.
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; bridges are operated services.
NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules)	✓	NFTs are native Hathor tokens (a token with an NFT data output, created through the wallets create-nft call), with no contract involved.
Demand	4.8	average of 7 measures
Exchanges (10 or more: 10)	3	3 exchanges
Daily volume ($10K 0, $1B or more 10)	1.7	$93,533 traded in 24 hours; #1703 by volume on the exchanges the site reads (scored on the median day of the last 30, $74,716)
Turnover (volume ÷ market cap, 5% a day: 10)	9	3.2% of its market cap a day, median of the last 30 days
Order-book depth (±2% of the price ÷ market cap, 1%: 10)	8.3	$5,610 within 2% of the price on 3 exchanges, 0.31% of its market cap, median of the last 15 days
Market cap ($1M 0, $10B or more 10)	0.6	$1.8M, 0.6 on a scale of 2.5 points per tenfold
Paper trading (futures, options and margin ÷ market cap, 0%: 10, 100%: 0)	10	no futures, options or margin on the exchanges read
Wallet support (wallets that hold it, 10 or more: 10)	1	its own node and wallet, counted as 1: no wallet in the site's directory lists it yet
Record	7.7	average of 3 criteria
Age (years since genesis) (Source)	6	6 full years since 2020-09-25, the first day with a recorded price (genesis not yet researched, so the age can only be understated).

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.

The genesis block created 1B HTR in a wallet controlled by Hathor Labs (allocated to private sale 8%, seed 5%, treasury 24%, team 10%, advisors 5%, 5-year vault 18%, etc.); 20% (200M) is a burn bucket. The remaining 800M against the current total of ~943.2M (MEXC, Mar 2026: 1B - 200M burned + ~143M mined) is 84.8%.

Private sale 75,070,653 HTR (~$0.5M per CryptoRank and CoinCarp), seed sale 5% (50M), and a small KuCoin IEO in Jul 2025 (700K HTR). Sold = ~125.8M / 943.2M = 13.3%.

The ~143M HTR mined since launch (Jan 2020) went to the miners of each block, through merged mining with Bitcoin. No developer or Hathor Labs share of the block reward was found. The Labs allocations come from the 1B genesis (premine).

That the 200M burn has been carried out is inferred from the 943M total supply reconciling with it. The seed round's USD amount is not established.

The work behind it

Hathor is secured by 42 PH/s of its own work. Hashrate does not compare across algorithms — a SHA-256 hash and a Scrypt hash cost different amounts to produce.

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 Hathor

Hathor is #205 among cryptocurrencies and #1620 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 1415 places between Hathor'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).
