Zetacoin (ZET)

ZET price chart

Zetacoin ranks #365 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5412: 5047 of the 5411 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 Zetacoin 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.

Holder concentration (Source)	–	Not yet measured
Active addresses	–	Not yet measured
Premine (allocated at launch)	–	Not established. The chain chainz serves as ZET is not the 2013 ledger: its block 1 is dated 16 Nov 2021, and blocks 1 to at least 160 (to 17 Nov 2021, 02:15 UTC, at near-minimum difficulty) each minted 1,000,000 ZET, i.e. at least 160M, while chainz reports only 59.94M total coins today. No announcement explains the mint (a swap of 2013 balances is possible but unconfirmed). The 2013 code paid 1,000 ZET per 30 s block halving every 80,640 blocks, with no premine.
Fundraising (share sold) (Source)	–	Launch not yet researched
Developer share (after launch)	10	No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. Recent blocks pay 0.1 ZET (PoW) or 0.0625 ZET (PoS) to the block producer; no developer output was seen, but the 0.14.1.x node source behind the 2021 chain was not found, so the history cannot be checked. source

Features (3 checks)	10	2 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched
Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper abstract, §1, §2 and §11)	–	Not established: the 0.14.1.x node source was not found, so its replace-by-fee policy is unknown; blocks are about 30 s apart with probabilistic confirmation.
Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7)	✓	Zetacoin public source v0.13.2.1 (2018); the network's 0.14.1.x builds are not public: -prune keeps the UTXO set and recent blocks.
Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8)	✓	Zetacoin public source v0.13.2.1 (2018); the network's 0.14.1.x builds are not public 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	Zetacoin's Bitcoin-derived node (zetacoin/zetacoin) 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	Zetacoin public source v0.13.2.1 (2018); the network's 0.14.1.x builds are not public: no Dandelion; Tor is only used if the operator runs and configures it.
Programmability	2.2	2 of 9 points source
Token issuance	0	No token issuance on the chain itself
Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions)	1	Zetacoin 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)	✗	In the public source (v0.13.2.1) CLTV starts at BIP65_HEIGHT 8,570,810, beyond the chain's current height of about 4,647,000, and CSV needs BIP9 signalling that version-7 blocks do not give; the live 0.14.1.x nodes' source is not public.
Atomic swaps (With other chains)	✗	Without a consensus-enforced CLTV or CSV, Zetacoin 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)	✓	Traded as itself, not as a wrapped token or a claim: Komodo DeFi.
Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself)	✗	Zetacoin 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 Zetacoin 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.

Recent blocks pay 0.1 ZET (PoW) or 0.0625 ZET (PoS) to the block producer; no developer output was seen, but the 0.14.1.x node source behind the 2021 chain was not found, so the history cannot be checked.

zetac.org now hosts an unrelated casino-review site. The 2013 Zetacoin (genesis 3 Aug 2013, SHA-256, 30 s) and the chain live today share a name but not, apparently, a ledger.

How CoinSpectrum ranks Zetacoin

Zetacoin is #365 among cryptocurrencies and #5412 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 5047 places between Zetacoin'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).
