DigitalNote (XDN)
DigitalNote ranks #381 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5433: 5052 of the 5432 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 DigitalNote 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 | 4.5 | average of 2 criteria |
| By leader (its largest chain's market cap) (Source) | 4.5 | Hybrid: 4.5 of 10 on the ladder of consensus families ranked by their largest chain's market cap |
| By family (all its chains' market cap) (Source) | 4.5 | Hybrid: 4.5 of 10 on the ladder of families ranked by the combined market cap of their chains |

| Distribution | — | too few measures yet |
| Holder concentration (Source) | – | Not yet measured |
| Active addresses | – | Not yet measured |
| Premine (allocated at launch) | – | The v2 chain (Bitcoin code base, 2018) minted 80M XDN per block until supply reached 8B (nBlockRewardReserve, 'Reserve for swap from XDN cryptonote codebase'), all paid to the developers for the swap, and update 1.0.4.2 minted another 1,000,000,000 XDN at block 403,117 to the developer address ('Bittrex 1 billion payout'). If the swap reserve matched holders' balances, only the 1B is a discretionary mint (~12.4% of the 8.07B supply), but no reconciliation of the reserve against swapped balances is published, so no figure is given. |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | – | Launch not yet researched |
| Developer share (after launch) | 9.9 | Developer share: about 0.7% of today's supply received so far; 16.7% of each new block reward goes to them today. Of every 300 XDN block reward, 150 goes to a masternode and 50 to the DevOps (developer) address hard-coded in fork.h (since the first developer address in May 2019), leaving 100 for the staker or miner: 50/300 = 16.7%. Estimated so far: ~1.2M blocks x 50 = ~60M XDN / 8.07B = ~0.7% (the block-403,117 1B payment is counted under premine, not here). source |
| Decentralisation | 6 | average of 3 parts |
| Governance (Source) | 10 | No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No mechanism to freeze or blacklist user coins was found; the team's power is over issuance (developer address and mandatory-update mints), not individual balances. source |
| No central team (Source) | 0 | A central team directs it: The DigitalNote team (MIT licence, DigitalNoteXDN GitHub) maintains the only client, receives the hard-coded DevOps reward and used a mandatory update to mint 1B XDN. source |
| Who can mint (Source) | 8 | Open, with a stake vote: anyone can mine, and stakeholders vote on the blocks |

| Features (3 checks) | 3.3 | 1 of 3 passed |
| Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11) | ✓ | Masternode InstantX locks are built in, and the node has transaction replacement disabled (first-seen relay); two-minute blocks alone would not qualify. |
| Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7) | ✗ | DigitalNote v2.0.0.8 (Jul 2026, PPCoin-era code) has no pruning mode; nodes keep every block. |
| Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8) | ✗ | DigitalNote (PoW/PoS) (pre-BIP37 code) serves no Merkle proofs or block filters, so light wallets trust servers. |
| 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 | DigitalNote's Bitcoin-derived node (DigitalNoteXDN/DigitalNote-2) 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 | Stealth addresses can hide the receiver, but inputs are public (no ring signatures or zero-knowledge proofs). |
| Network privacy (Origin hidden by default) | 0 | DigitalNote v2.0.0.8 (Jul 2026, PPCoin-era code): no Dandelion; Tor is only used if the operator runs and configures it. |
| Programmability | 1.1 | 1 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance | 0 | No token issuance on the chain itself |
| Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions) | 1 | DigitalNote 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 is present, but DigitalNote 2's opcode list (src/enums/opcodetype.h) has no OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY or OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY (0xb1 is still OP_NOP2), so Script cannot enforce a time lock. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✗ | Without a consensus-enforced CLTV or CSV, DigitalNote Script cannot express the time-locked refund of an HTLC; only pre-signed nLockTime refunds, which pre-SegWit malleability makes unsafe. |
| Native DEX (Trades the coin itself, not a claim) | ✗ | No DEX found trading the coin itself: none on its own chain (DefiLlama), and not on THORChain, Maya, Chainflip, Komodo DeFi, BasicSwap, Bisq or Haveno (checked 2026-11-04). |
| Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself) | ✗ | DigitalNote 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 DigitalNote consensus rules. |

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.

Launch and allocation
| Developer share received since launch | 0.7% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Developer share of new coins today | 16.7% |
The v2 chain (Bitcoin code base, 2018) minted 80M XDN per block until supply reached 8B (nBlockRewardReserve, 'Reserve for swap from XDN cryptonote codebase'), all paid to the developers for the swap, and update 1.0.4.2 minted another 1,000,000,000 XDN at block 403,117 to the developer address ('Bittrex 1 billion payout'). If the swap reserve matched holders' balances, only the 1B is a discretionary mint (~12.4% of the 8.07B supply), but no reconciliation of the reserve against swapped balances is published, so no figure is given.
No ICO found; whether the developers sold reserve coins is undocumented.
Not documented.
Of every 300 XDN block reward, 150 goes to a masternode and 50 to the DevOps (developer) address hard-coded in fork.h (since the first developer address in May 2019), leaving 100 for the staker or miner: 50/300 = 16.7%. Estimated so far: ~1.2M blocks x 50 = ~60M XDN / 8.07B = ~0.7% (the block-403,117 1B payment is counted under premine, not here).
The block height and live supply could not be read (explorer down), so the reward-cut total is an estimate; v2.0.0.8 plans a developer-address rotation at block 1,280,000, which implies the chain was below that height in mid-2026. Whether the original 2014 CryptoNote XDN had a premine was not checked.

How CoinSpectrum ranks DigitalNote
DigitalNote is #381 among cryptocurrencies and #5433 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 5052 places between DigitalNote'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).
