Morpho is a token. It has no blockchain of its own and no consensus of its own — it rents both from the chains it is issued on, which is why it is listed separately from the cryptocurrencies.

Ten criteria, weighted equally — for a token, the host chain replaces the developer share, the asset class stands in for the consensus ladders, and who can mint more for the Cryptocurrency Standards. Provisional: criteria 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.

All 1B was minted at genesis; only the 4.9% Users & Launch Pools bucket is paid out as usage rewards.
USD 18M (2022, a16z and Variant); USD 50M private token sale in Aug 2024 led by Ribbit Capital (a16z, Coinbase Ventures, Variant, Pantera and others); USD 175M token purchase in Jun 2026 co-led by Paradigm, a16z crypto and Ribbit.
The upgradeable MORPHO token has an owner-only mint(). The owner (0xcba28b…) is a Safe multisig: the 5/9 governance multisig that executes Snapshot votes, with no on-chain timelock.
Where the tokens sold in the 2026 USD 175M round came from is not disclosed, so soldPct covers only the launch Strategic Partners bucket. Governance elects the multisig, but it is classed issuer because nothing on-chain binds it to a vote.

It is issued on 4 chains, which means 4 separate issuances of the same claim. Linked names are chains that are themselves cryptocurrencies with a page here.
CoinSpectrum counts an asset once. A token has neither its own blockchain nor its own consensus mechanism, so it fails both of the site's two conditions — it is a thing issued on a chain, and the chain is what is counted. The methodology states the rule, and the argument for it is set out in full.
Listed, not hidden. The point is that it is measured as what it is.
