Nerva (XNV)

XNV price chart

Nerva ranks #464 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5585: 5121 of the 5584 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 Nerva 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)	9.9	0.94% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Block 1 paid a 180,000 XNV premine (get_block_reward in cryptonote_basic_impl.cpp; nerva.one lists 'Premine 180,000 XNV (Treasury)'); against ~19.2M supply (157,800 XNV a year = 0.82% per nerva.one) that is 0.94%. source
Fundraising (share sold) (Source)	10	No sale of the coin source
Developer share (after launch)	10	No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. The full 0.3 XNV tail-emission reward goes to the solo miner; DONATION_ADDR in cryptonote_config.h receives only voluntary donations. source
Decentralisation	10	average of 3 parts
Governance (Source)	10	No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No protocol party can freeze coins or halt the chain. source
No central team (Source)	10	No central team: Maintained by volunteer community developers in the nerva-project GitHub organisation (BSD-style Monero licence) since the founder stepped back. source

Features (3 checks)	3.3	1 of 3 passed
Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11)	✗	One-minute probabilistic blocks with Monero-style 10-block spend lock; no instant locks or double-spend proofs.
Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7)	✓	Nerva daemon (cryptonote_core.cpp): --prune-blockchain keeps the state and drops most old ring data from blocks.
Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8)	✗	Nerva v0.4.0.0: CryptoNote design with no SPV or light-client proof protocol; light wallets trust a remote daemon.
Adaptive block size (a bonus point, at most 10)	+1	Monero's rule: block weight limit is twice the effective median of the last 100 blocks (300 kB penalty-free floor), held to a 50,000-block long-term median, with a reward penalty above the median; in consensus since launch.
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	CryptoNote 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	One-time (stealth) addresses: every payment goes to a new address derived from the receiver's public address, unlinkable on chain
Hidden amounts (Amounts confidential)	10	Nerva (Monero-derived) RingCT: amounts are hidden in Pedersen commitments on every transaction.
Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden)	10	Nerva (Monero-derived): ring signatures hide the sender and one-time stealth addresses the receiver.
Network privacy (Origin hidden by default)	0	Nerva v0.4.0.0 (Oct 2026, Monero-derived): no Dandelion++ in the protocol handler; Tor/I2P only through optional proxy setup.
Programmability	1.1	1 of 9 points source
Token issuance	0	No token issuance on the chain itself
Smart contracts	0	Nerva (Monero-derived CryptoNote): outputs are one-time keys with no user-programmable spending conditions.
Multisig and time locks (Without a third party)	✓	Monero-style m-of-n multisig (src/multisig) and consensus-enforced output unlock_time (Blockchain::is_tx_spendtime_unlocked).
Atomic swaps (With other chains)	✗	No hash-lock scripting, and no adaptor-signature swap implementation exists for Nerva (the Monero-Bitcoin swap tools target Monero only).
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 cross-chain messaging in the protocol.
NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules)	✗	No token or NFT type in the 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	$434 traded in 24 hours; #3568 by volume on the exchanges the site reads (scored on the median day of the last 15, $466)

Record	8.3	average of 3 criteria
Age (years since genesis) (Source)	8	8 full years since 2018-11-07, the first day with a recorded price (genesis not yet researched, so the age can only be understated).

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.

Supply

0 XNV are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.

Launch and allocation

Premine (allocated at launch)	0.94% of today's supply
Sold by the issuer or insiders	0% of today's supply
Developer share received since launch	0% of today's supply
Developer share of new coins today	0%
Fundraising	No sale and no investor round

Block 1 paid a 180,000 XNV premine (get_block_reward in cryptonote_basic_impl.cpp; nerva.one lists 'Premine 180,000 XNV (Treasury)'); against ~19.2M supply (157,800 XNV a year = 0.82% per nerva.one) that is 0.94%.

No ICO or private round; the premine funded the treasury.

No sale documented; the premine is described as a treasury.

The full 0.3 XNV tail-emission reward goes to the solo miner; DONATION_ADDR in cryptonote_config.h receives only voluntary donations.

No 51% attack, reorg or halt found in the window. Supply is derived from the inflation figure on the project site.

The work behind it

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Nerva.

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 Nerva

Nerva is #464 among cryptocurrencies and #5585 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 5121 places between Nerva'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).
