Vaulta ranks #57 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #218: 161 of the 217 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.

A — 67 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 57 to 73 (B to A).
| Section and criteria | Score | Basis |

| Consensus | 9.1 | average of 2 criteria |
| By leader (its largest chain's market cap) (Source) | 9.1 | Proof of stake: 9.1 of 10 on the ladder of consensus families ranked by their largest chain's market cap |
| By family (all its chains' market cap) (Source) | 9.1 | Proof of stake: 9.1 of 10 on the ladder of families ranked by the combined market cap of their chains |

| Active addresses | – | Not yet measured |
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 4 | 59.7% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. 1B EOS existed before the chain launched (900M sold in the 2017-18 ERC-20 ICO, 100M retained by Block.one), against 1,675,089,693 A circulating (CoinGecko); against the 2.1B now issued on-chain (incl. undistributed reserves) it is 47.6%. source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | 4.6 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 53.7% of supply sold. Block.one's 2017-18 ICO sold 900M ERC-20 EOS, carried 1:1 into EOS and then Vaulta (A). 900M / 1,675.09M (CoinGecko, the same base as the premine figure) = 53.7%; against the 2.1B issued on-chain, including undistributed reserves, it is 42.9%. Block.one's year-long ICO (26 Jun 2017 - 1 Jun 2018) sold 900M ERC-20 EOS daily for ~$4B; SEC settled with Block.one for $24M over the unregistered offering. No separate private round identified. source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 9.4 | Developer share: about 6.2% of today's supply received so far; 38.7% of each new block reward goes to them today. The system contract's continuous_rate of 3.617% (~76M A/yr from the 2.1B pre-issued supply) splits 16.46% to block producers (inflation_pay_factor 60767) and 83.54% to eosio.saving. eosio.saving's live config passes 29.55% to eosio.grants (Vaulta/EOS Network Foundation) and 16.74% to eoslabs.io, with 53.71% to staking rewards, so 38.67% of emission goes to the foundation and Labs (set 1 Jun 2024, halving every 4 years from 2028). History: 4% of 5% to eosio.saving 2018-19 (~34M, later burned); 2% to the ENF from 25 Aug 2021 to Jun 2024 (~60M); ~70.5M since Jun 2024. Excluding the burned 34M, that is (60 + 70.5)M / 2,100M on-chain = 6.2% (7.8% if the burned coins are counted). source |
| Decentralisation | 2.1 | average of 4 parts |
| Governance (Source) | 0 | An authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: A 15-of-21 block-producer multisig can change any account's permissions or freeze it, as producers did under ECAF orders in 2018. source |
| No central team (Source) | 0 | A central team directs it: Spring, the only node software, is developed in the AntelopeIO repository by teams funded by the Vaulta Foundation (formerly EOS Network Foundation). source |
| Who can mint (Source) | 4 | Gated by election: a delegated set voted in by holders produces blocks |

| Network activity (Transactions a day, 250 0, 500,000 or more 10; 2 points) | 10 | about 1,679,040 transactions a day |
| Hashrate (Own work 5, its power 1 kW 0 to 10 GW 5; 1 point) | 1 | not mined: another consensus, 1 |

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.

1B EOS existed before the chain launched (900M sold in the 2017-18 ERC-20 ICO, 100M retained by Block.one), against 1,675,089,693 A circulating (CoinGecko); against the 2.1B now issued on-chain (incl. undistributed reserves) it is 47.6%.
Block.one's year-long ICO (26 Jun 2017 - 1 Jun 2018) sold 900M ERC-20 EOS daily for ~$4B; SEC settled with Block.one for $24M over the unregistered offering. No separate private round identified.
Block.one's 2017-18 ICO sold 900M ERC-20 EOS, carried 1:1 into EOS and then Vaulta (A). 900M / 1,675.09M (CoinGecko, the same base as the premine figure) = 53.7%; against the 2.1B issued on-chain, including undistributed reserves, it is 42.9%.
The system contract's continuous_rate of 3.617% (~76M A/yr from the 2.1B pre-issued supply) splits 16.46% to block producers (inflation_pay_factor 60767) and 83.54% to eosio.saving. eosio.saving's live config passes 29.55% to eosio.grants (Vaulta/EOS Network Foundation) and 16.74% to eoslabs.io, with 53.71% to staking rewards, so 38.67% of emission goes to the foundation and Labs (set 1 Jun 2024, halving every 4 years from 2028). History: 4% of 5% to eosio.saving 2018-19 (~34M, later burned); 2% to the ENF from 25 Aug 2021 to Jun 2024 (~60M); ~70.5M since Jun 2024. Excluding the burned 34M, that is (60 + 70.5)M / 2,100M on-chain = 6.2% (7.8% if the burned coins are counted).

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.
Vaulta is #57 among cryptocurrencies and #218 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 Vaulta'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).
