Qortal ranks #476 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5847: 5371 of the 5846 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.

| Programmability | 7.8 | 7 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance (At protocol level) | 2 | Native ISSUE_ASSET transactions in the Qortal core protocol, open to any account that pays the fee; 93 user-issued assets existed on 2026-10-27. |
| Smart contracts (General-purpose) | 2 | Qortal Core: CIYAM Automated Transactions (DEPLOY_AT) are a bytecode contract system run by every node; the cross-chain Trade Portal runs on these ATs on mainnet. |
| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | ✓ | Qortal Core: no native multisig transaction, but ATs hold funds with block-height timeouts (as the trade ACCTs do) and can act only on messages from set accounts, so m-of-n and time-locked releases are expressible. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✓ | Qortal Core: cross-chain trade ACCTs (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, DigiByte, Ravencoin, Pirate Chain) pair a Qortal AT with an HTLC on the other chain, live on mainnet. |
| Native DEX (Trades the coin itself, not a claim) | ✓ | Traded as itself, not as a wrapped token or a claim: an exchange in its own protocol (Qortal Core: CREATE_ASSET_ORDER and CANCEL_ASSET_ORDER transaction types give a native order book between Qortal assets). |
| Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself) | ✗ | Qortal Core: no protocol-verified messaging to other chains; trade bots watch foreign chains off-ledger. |
| NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules) | ✗ | Qortal Core: ISSUE_ASSET creates fungible assets; there is no non-fungible token type (names are sold as names, not tokens). |

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.

Qortal is #476 among cryptocurrencies and #5847 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 5371 places between Qortal'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).
