RandomX has been Monero's proof of work since November 2019: random programs executed in a virtual machine, designed so that a general-purpose processor stays competitive with any dedicated chip. It is mined on ordinary computers, and the chains here share that pool of CPUs.
Monero is the only chain here with a hashrate a source publishes; the others show a blank rather than a guess.

Hashrate is each chain's own work, comparable only within one algorithm. Paid to miners / day is block reward × blocks per day at the protocol's target block time × price — what the network spends on its own security. Block rewards come from WhatToMine, which averages transaction fees in for some chains; where it does not list a chain, the reward is derived from the halving schedule. Blank means no source publishes it.
4 in the CoinSpectrum ranking as of 16 October 2026: Monero (XMR), Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL), Zephyr Protocol (ZEPH) and Satoshi Cash Network (SCASH). Tokens never count — only chains with their own blockchain and consensus.
Yes. Any modern CPU can mine every chain on this page with the same mining software; switching is a configuration change. Monero holds most of the RandomX hashrate.
About $244K a day across the chains listed, counting block reward × blocks per day × price on 16 October 2026. Monero accounts for 98.7% of it.
It is the fraction of all the RandomX work listed here that the chain receives. Machines can switch between these chains freely, so a chain holding a small share can be outmined by anyone who controls more than that share of the algorithm's machines. A large share is the security; a small one is an exposure.
