Humanode (HMND)
Humanode ranks #249 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #2148: 1899 of the 2147 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 2444 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 61% are tokens, 33% are claims on other assets, 4% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)
Grade pending. Humanode's launch — how much went to insiders, whether it was sold to investors — is still being researched. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

| Shipped a scaling upgrade in two years, +1 | ✓ | Release it6-2026-10-19 (runtime spec 133/134, Oct 2026): reduced transaction fees, after it6-2026-08-30 had cut the EVM baseline transfer fee to 90 HMND. |

| Unfixed vulnerability, disclosed 2023-10-13, −1 | ✗ | Frontier GHSA-gc88-2gvv-gp3v (High) lets a contract with large storage call SELFDESTRUCT for a fixed cost and force an unbounded storage deletion that can stall block production; the current release v0.0.0-it6-2026-10-20 uses humanode-network/frontier tag locked/polkadot-v0.9.43-2025-03-22, which still deletes with remove_prefix(address, None) and lacks the aea5281 fix. github.com raw.githubusercontent.com github.com |
| Conduct (origin, claims, halts) | — | Not yet reviewed |
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 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 Humanode
Humanode is #249 among cryptocurrencies and #2148 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 1899 places between Humanode'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).
