- Own chain
- No issuer
- Capped supply
No company issues it and no ledger of owners exists. Its cap is not 21 million but 20 999 999.9769, because each halving rounds down whole satoshis.

Every project profile, filterable by status, category, ecosystem, and by how recently it was verified.

- Own chain
- Programs
- No cap
Runs programs, not just payments. It has no single official client and no supply cap, two things almost every directory gets wrong about it.
Tether

- Dollar token
- Single issuer
- No public code
The dollar token that moves the most money, and the only one of these ten whose contract has no public repository. Under half of it lives on Ethereum.

- Own chain
- Ethereum fork
- Exchange token
A chain forked from Ethereum’s client, tied to the exchange that launched it. The repository most data sites link to is the exchange API, not the chain.

- Institutional transfers
- Supply gap
Built for moving value between institutions. 37 of its 100 billion units are issued but not circulating, and the gap is not explained.

- Dollar token
- Single issuer
- Open code
The other dollar token, and the counter example to Tether on the point that matters: its contract has a public repository under an open licence.

- Own chain
- Programs
- Archived link
The busiest codebase of the ten. The repository data sites point to has been archived since January 2025, so its link shows a project frozen for over a year.

- Own chain
- Carries dollar tokens
- Elected validators
A chain that carries a large share of the dollar tokens in circulation. That role, not its own token, is what makes it matter at this size.

- Real world asset
- Single issuer
- No public code
Not a currency. A token backed by American home equity loans, sitting in the top ten with no public code and no chain of its own.
Hyperliquid

2.6out of 5Weakest axis : Maturity
- Own chain
- Closed source
- Derivatives
The only one of the ten whose protocol code is not published. Its node repository holds a Dockerfile and a signing key, no source at all.

- DeFi
- Yield
- Ethereum
Splits a yield-bearing token into its principal and its future yield, so the two trade separately. Code public since 2022, licence unresolved.

- Storage
- Pay once
- Own chain
Charges once to store a file, then keeps serving it with no monthly bill and no stated end date. Runs on its own chain rather than on Ethereum.
What gets a profile here
A project earns a profile when enough of what it says about itself can be checked at a primary source: its own repository, its own contracts, a node we can query. Everything we could not establish stays on the page, in a table, with the reason. A profile is not a recommendation. The rating it carries measures what can be checked about the protocol, never what the token will be worth.
Each claim carries the address it came from and the date it was read, so anyone can land where we landed. Where an aggregator is our only source, the row says so rather than borrowing its confidence.
There are few profiles because each one takes a day. We would rather publish one page that holds up than fifty that repeat each other.
