Terracoin (TRC)

TRC price chart

Terracoin ranks #362 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5407: 5045 of the 5406 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.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)

Grade pending. No market cap or no daily volume is reported for Terracoin by any source the site reads. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

Section and criteria	Score	Basis
Consensus	10	average of 2 criteria
By leader (its largest chain's market cap) (Source)	10	Proof of work: 10 of 10 on the ladder of consensus families ranked by their largest chain's market cap
By family (all its chains' market cap) (Source)	10	Proof of work: 10 of 10 on the ladder of families ranked by the combined market cap of their chains
Supply	9.7	fixed maximum supply of 42 million
Distribution	9.9	average of 3 parts
Holder concentration (Source)	–	Not yet measured
Active addresses	–	Not yet measured
Premine (allocated at launch)	10	0% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Launched 2012-10-26 with block 1 paying the normal 20 TRC (insight.terracoin.io); no genesis allocation, instamine or sale found. source
Fundraising (share sold) (Source)	10	No sale of the coin source
Developer share (after launch)	9.6	Developer share: about 4.3% of today's supply received so far; 10% of each new block reward goes to them today. Since the Dash-based relaunch, GetBlockSubsidy reserves 10% of each block's subsidy for monthly governance superblocks from block 1,087,500 (2017), paid to masternode-approved proposals; unallocated budget is never minted. Upper bound: 1.01M + 0.53M + 0.04M = ~1.58M TRC of ~37.2M supply = 4.3%; the actual figure is lower. source
Decentralisation	10	average of 3 parts
Governance (Source)	10	No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No key can freeze coins; Dash-style sporks let the spork-key holder toggle features such as InstantSend and payment enforcement, but not freeze balances. source

Features (3 checks)	10	3 of 3 passed
Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11)	✓	Dash 0.12.2-based node with no replace-by-fee and masternode InstantSend locks; whether enough masternodes run today for InstantSend to work was not verified.
Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7)	✓	Terracoin Core v0.12.2.5 (Mar 2020): -prune keeps the UTXO set and recent blocks.
Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8)	✓	Terracoin Core v0.12.2.5 (Mar 2020) serves BIP37 Merkle proofs to SPV clients, which check the SHA-256 proof of work in headers.
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	Terracoin's Bitcoin-derived node (terracoin/terracoin) has no identity rule: anyone generates keys and receives and sends the coin.
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	Transparent Bitcoin-style amounts; no confidential transactions.
Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden)	0	Transparent addresses and inputs; no ring signatures or stealth addresses.
Network privacy (Origin hidden by default)	0	Terracoin Core v0.12.2.5 (Mar 2020): no Dandelion; Tor is only used if the operator runs and configures it.
Programmability	4.4	4 of 9 points source
Token issuance	0	No token issuance on the chain itself
Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions)	1	Terracoin runs Bitcoin-style Script limited to spending conditions (signatures, hash locks, multisig); no contract VM or token introspection.
Multisig and time locks (Without a third party)	✓	OP_CHECKMULTISIG plus CLTV, enforced once version-4 blocks are a supermajority (current blocks are version 4, block 3,330,156); CSV is a 2018 BIP9 deployment.
Atomic swaps (With other chains)	✓	HTLCs built from Script hash locks (OP_SHA256/OP_HASH160) with a CLTV refund branch are standard Script, so cross-chain hash-locked swaps work on Terracoin.
Native DEX (Trades the coin itself, not a claim)	✓	Traded as itself, not as a wrapped token or a claim: Komodo DeFi.
Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself)	✗	Terracoin nodes verify no other chain; no protocol-level cross-chain messaging.
NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules)	✗	No token or NFT type in the Terracoin consensus rules.
Demand	0.7	average of 3 measures
Exchanges (10 or more: 10)	1	1 exchange
Daily volume ($10K 0, $1B or more 10)	0	$31 traded in 24 hours; #4159 by volume on the exchanges the site reads (scored on the median day of the last 15, $23)
Turnover (volume ÷ market cap, 5% a day: 10)	–	not measured
Order-book depth (±2% of the price ÷ market cap, 1%: 10)	–	not measured
Market cap ($1M 0, $10B or more 10)	–	not measured
Paper trading (futures, options and margin ÷ market cap, 0%: 10, 100%: 0)	–	not measured
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

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.

No sale.

Since the Dash-based relaunch, GetBlockSubsidy reserves 10% of each block's subsidy for monthly governance superblocks from block 1,087,500 (2017), paid to masternode-approved proposals; unallocated budget is never minted. Upper bound: 1.01M + 0.53M + 0.04M = ~1.58M TRC of ~37.2M supply = 4.3%; the actual figure is lower.

clients is 0 because no release in 24 months. Supply was not published by the explorer; ~37M is computed from the schedule. One pool, Mining-Dutch, found three quarters of blocks in the last 30 days. No 51% attack in the window was found in searches.

The work behind it

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Terracoin.

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 Terracoin

Terracoin is #362 among cryptocurrencies and #5407 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 5045 places between Terracoin'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).
