Neptune (XNT)
Neptune ranks #342 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #4708: 4366 of the 4707 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 Neptune 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.

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 9.3 | 7.4% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Genesis premine of 831,488 coins (PREMINE_MAX_SIZE, 1.98% of the 42M asymptotic limit) for investors, advisers, bounties and, for unsold rights, the founders; current supply ~11.21M (831,488 premine + 2,727,680 claims pool for the 21,310 pre-reboot blocks + 59,777 blocks x 128 since the August 2025 reboot), so 831,488 / 11.21M = 7.4%. source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | – | Sold by its issuer or insiders: share sold not yet researched. Triton Software AG sold rights to premine tokens; by 2023-09 117,834 coins were sold (about 1.05% of today's supply) and 635,471 were still for sale, with unsold coins passing to founders and early employees in 2026. The final sold amount is not published. Triton Software AG (Zug, Switzerland) sold rights to future premine tokens to investors; CHF 1,079,450 received by September 2023 (implied premine valuation CHF 7.6M). source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. The 128-coin block subsidy (halving every 160,815 blocks) goes entirely to the block's composer and guesser, half of it time-locked for three years; no dev or treasury share in consensus. source |
| Decentralisation | 6.7 | average of 3 parts |
| Governance (Source) | 10 | No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No party holds a freeze or clawback key; the lustration barrier that can make pre-barrier UTXOs unspendable is a fixed consensus rule, not a discretionary power. source |
| No central team (Source) | 0 | A central team directs it: neptune-core lives in the Neptune-Crypto GitHub organisation (Apache-2.0) and was built by Triton Software AG, which said it would dissolve after launch; the same core team still drives every hard fork. source |
| Who can mint (Source) | 10 | Open to anyone with hardware: anyone can produce blocks by mining, no permission needed |

| Features (3 checks) | 6.7 | 2 of 3 passed |
| Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11) | ✗ | Blocks target 588 seconds with probabilistic confirmation; no instant locks. |
| Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7) | ✓ | Non-archival xnt-core nodes keep only the mutator-set state, not the block history. |
| Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8) | ✓ | Neptune-derived succinct chain: a node validates the chain from the latest recursive block proof and checks payments by mutator-set membership proofs. |
| Privacy | 9.6 | 9.6 of 10: whitepaper privacy 7 of 7, extra features 2.6 of 3 source |
| Protocol level privacy (Keys not tied to an identity · Whitepaper §10) | 10 | UTXOs are locked by lock scripts from keys anyone generates; no identity rule. |
| 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) | 10 | Receivers get one-time UTXO notifications; no address appears on chain |
| Hidden amounts (Amounts confidential) | 10 | UTXO amounts are hidden in commitments proven with Triton VM zk-STARKs (inherited from Neptune Cash). |
| Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden) | 10 | Mutator sets unlink spent inputs and receivers get one-time UTXO notifications, so sender and receiver are hidden. |
| Network privacy (Origin hidden by default) | 0 | xnt-core v0.3.0: no Dandelion or built-in Tor. |
| Programmability | 1.4 | 1 of 7 points, 2 not yet researched source |
| Token issuance | 0 | No token issuance on the chain itself |
| Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions) | 1 | xnt-core (Neptune Cash fork) locks UTXOs with Triton VM lock scripts proven in zero knowledge, used for spending conditions only; type scripts are limited to the native currency and time lock. |
| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | – | The TimeLock type script gives time-locked spending, but no m-of-n lock script is implemented or documented, so multisig could not be established. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | – | Lock scripts are standard hash locks and no HTLC or adaptor-signature swap is implemented, so swaps could not be established. |
| 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) | ✗ | No protocol-level cross-chain messaging. |
| NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules) | ✗ | Consensus recognises only the native-currency and time-lock type scripts, so no NFTs. |

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.

Genesis premine of 831,488 coins (PREMINE_MAX_SIZE, 1.98% of the 42M asymptotic limit) for investors, advisers, bounties and, for unsold rights, the founders; current supply ~11.21M (831,488 premine + 2,727,680 claims pool for the 21,310 pre-reboot blocks + 59,777 blocks x 128 since the August 2025 reboot), so 831,488 / 11.21M = 7.4%.
Triton Software AG (Zug, Switzerland) sold rights to future premine tokens to investors; CHF 1,079,450 received by September 2023 (implied premine valuation CHF 7.6M).
Triton Software AG sold rights to premine tokens; by 2023-09 117,834 coins were sold (about 1.05% of today's supply) and 635,471 were still for sale, with unsold coins passing to founders and early employees in 2026. The final sold amount is not published.

Soundness bugs in Triton VM proofs forced hard forks TvmProofVersion1 (2026-02-04) and Gamma (2026-06-18); the project added a 'lustration' counter to cap any undetected inflation from unsound proofs. No exploitation is documented. Supply is a computed estimate.

How CoinSpectrum ranks Neptune
Neptune is #342 among cryptocurrencies and #4708 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 4366 places between Neptune'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).
