Ozone Chain (OZO)
Ozone Chain ranks #59 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #220: 161 of the 219 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 220 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 51% are claims on other assets, 42% are tokens, 6% are memecoins and under 1% are NFT collections.

B — 51 out of 100, provisional (from 9 of 10 sections, 10 November 2026 build). With what is not yet measured anywhere from nothing to full marks, the score would be 43 to 61 (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 |

| 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. The fixed 1B OZO supply was created by the project (first as an ERC-20) and allocated across about 15 buckets (presales, public sale, team, foundation, staking rewards, reserves); the chain has no open minting. Total supply is 1B, about 96% unlocked (Tokenomist, Sep 2025). source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | 7 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 30% of supply sold. Allocation buckets for sale: Pre Sale 1-4 (2%+4%+6%+8% = 200M) and Public Sale/IDO (10% = 100M) = 300M OZO; actual uptake and any strategic round are undisclosed. 300M / 1,000,000,000 OZO total (CoinGecko, 2026-10-24) = 30.0%. Multiple presale rounds (Tokenomist lists Pre Sale 1-4, about 20% of supply), a strategic/private round, and a public sale/IDO (Oct 2023, about 10%). Amounts raised and investors 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 cut and no open issuance: the fixed 1B OZO supply was created up front; staking rewards come from a pre-allocated bucket. source |
| Decentralisation | 0.7 | average of 3 parts |
| Governance (Source) | 0 | An authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: A permissioned set of four QBFT validators produces every block, so the operator can halt or rewrite the chain; mainnet (chain ID 4000) restarted from a new genesis on 2026-10-15. source |
| No central team (Source) | 0 | A central team directs it: Ozone Chain's client is a Hyperledger Besu fork (Apache 2.0) maintained only by the Ozone Chain team in ozone-chain/Ozonechain. source |

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 fixed 1B OZO supply was created by the project (first as an ERC-20) and allocated across about 15 buckets (presales, public sale, team, foundation, staking rewards, reserves); the chain has no open minting. Total supply is 1B, about 96% unlocked (Tokenomist, Sep 2025).

Allocation buckets for sale: Pre Sale 1-4 (2%+4%+6%+8% = 200M) and Public Sale/IDO (10% = 100M) = 300M OZO; actual uptake and any strategic round are undisclosed. 300M / 1,000,000,000 OZO total (CoinGecko, 2026-10-24) = 30.0%.
No cut and no open issuance: the fixed 1B OZO supply was created up front; staking rewards come from a pre-allocated bucket.

How CoinSpectrum ranks Ozone Chain
Ozone Chain is #59 among cryptocurrencies and #220 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 161 places between Ozone 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).
