		What is Bitcoin?Bitcoin (BTC) is the first successful decentralized cryptocurrency. It uses peer-to-peer technology to operate without the need for a central authority behind it. Bitcoin transactions are registered on open-source software.Bitcoin uses blockchain technology to ensure transactions are secure and censorship-resistance. A blockchain is a distributed ledger, or a shared database that, in BTC’s case, anyone can access to verify transactions.While anyone can access these transactions, Bitcoin works through pseudonymous addresses. This means that while anyone can see the transaction occurred – meaning address A sent BTC to address B – often only the sender and receiver know who’s behind each address.Blockchains are essentially built through blocks of data chained together – forming a chain of blocks – with each new block building on the previous one. Transactions are verified by validators, which on the Bitcoin network are called miners. These use specialized hardware to “mine” blocks and add them to the blockchain by solving complex mathematical problems.Miners are rewarded through a set BTC reward included in each block, called the coinbase reward, and with the transaction fees attached to the transactions included in the blocks they mine. Data stored in blocks is encrypted through Bitcoin’s SHA-256 hashing algorithm.Bitcoin’s supply is limited to 21 million coins, and each block is added to the network every 10 minutes. The timing of each block is kept stable through a difficulty adjustment mechanism, while BTC’s inflation is controlled by code, with the reward in each block halving every 210,000, or roughly every four years.Each Bitcoin is divisible to eight decimal places, with the smallest unit being known as a satoshi – one satoshi is 0.00000001 BTC. The cryptocurrency could be made divisible into even more decimal places in the future.Who Created Bitcoin?Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonymous entity who built upon previous work to outline the technology behind the cryptocurrency in a 2008 white paper titled: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.”It’s known that Nakamoto registered the Bitcoin.org domain in August 2008, before announcing the whitepaper to a Cryptography Mailing List in October of that year.Bitcoin’s first block – the genesis block – was mined on January 3, 2009. Nakamoto added to it the text: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks,” as a reference to the 2008 financial crisis and central banks’ response to it.The first Bitcoin transaction was made on January 12, involving Nakamoto and Hal Finney, a cypherpunk that worked with the PGP Corporation developing a leading encryption product.How Do You Use Bitcoin?Bitcoin was initially designed as a peer-to-peer payment method. As interest around it grew and its value increased, its use cases grew as well. Because of Bitcoin’s open-source approach, competition from other cryptocurrencies grew as well.To use Bitcoin, a wallet is necessary. Bitcoin wallets work as digital “bank accounts” that can only be controlled by the entity behind them. When a wallet is created, two keys are generated: a public and a private key.   Public keys are addresses used to send and receive payments. They’re akin to a bank account number.   Private keys are akin to the password protecting a bank account, and anyone who controls the private key to a wallet controls the wallet. As there is no central authority on the Bitcoin network, if a private key is lost, the coins on that wallet are lost.Bitcoin is used for a number of purposes. Some people use it for everyday transactions, while others prefer to use BTC as a store of value, making it an alternative to gold. Others simply invest, trade, and speculate using the cryptocurrency.Why Does Bitcoin Have Value?Bitcoin’s high value is determined by a number of factors. The cryptocurrency was the first to solve the Byzantine Generals’ problem, bringing trust to a decentralized system. As the system is decentralized and is governed by code, its fixed and predictable monetary policy cannot be changed unless there’s consensus to do so.Bitcoin uses open-source code and is built on top of a transparent network, making it possible for anyone to independently verify its security, its activity, and the balances of specific accounts on the blockchain.Miners use tremendous amounts of energy to support Bitcoin’s encrypted network, forcing potential attackers to require impossible amounts of energy to do anything to it. The network’s uptime since inception is above 99.987%, making it more reliable than traditional payments networks.Moreover, anyone can create a Bitcoin wallet and start using the network, making it open to anyone in the world regardless of their financial conditions. Bitcoin is an unencodable network that allows for fast peer-to-peer transactions throughout the world at low transaction fees.While no single entity controls Bitcoin, everyone can participate in the project by creating new businesses around it, helping develop it, mining it, running a node to help secure and relay transactions, documenting its history, using BTC, or simply talking about it.Bitcoin Whitepaper PDF - A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash SystemBlockchain data provided by: Blockchain (main source), Blockchair (backup) Read the white paper.
	2		Ethereum	2.503,50€	-1.16%	-20.67%	302.139.182.994€
		Ethereum is a technology for building apps and organizations, holding assets, transacting and communicating without being controlled by a central authority. There is no need to hand over all your personal details to use Ethereum - you keep control of your own data and what is being shared. Ethereum has its own cryptocurrency, Ether, which is used to pay for certain activities on the Ethereum network.What is the difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin?Launched in 2015, Ethereum builds on Bitcoin's innovation, with some big differences.Both let you use digital money without payment providers or banks. But Ethereum is programmable, so you can also build and deploy decentralized applications on its network.Ethereum being programmable means that you can build apps that use the blockchain to store data or control what your app can do. This results in a general purpose blockchain that can be programmed to do anything. As there is no limit to what Ethereum can do, it allows for great innovation to happen on the Ethereum network.While Bitcoin is only a payment network, Ethereum is more like a marketplace of financial services, games, social networks and other apps that respect your privacy and cannot censor you.Why would I use Ethereum?If you’ve ever sent money overseas (or plan to), or had to worry about the future of your assets due to external forces outside of your control where you live, or been fed up by the numerous restrictions and fees imposed by traditional financial institutions for everyday transactions, you might be interested in what cryptocurrencies have to offer.Bear in mind that Ethereum is a story that is still being written, and many more reasons to use it are being uncovered as it evolves and develops over time.What's unique about ETH?There are many cryptocurrencies and lots of other tokens on Ethereum, but there are some things that only ETH can do.ETH fuels and secures EthereumETH is the lifeblood of Ethereum. When you send ETH or use an Ethereum application, you'll pay a fee in ETH to use the Ethereum network. This fee is an incentive for a block producer to process and verify what you're trying to do.Validators are like the record-keepers of Ethereum—they check and prove that no one is cheating. They are randomly selected to propose a block of transactions. Validators who do this work are also rewarded with small amounts of newly-issued ETH.The work validators do, and the capital they stake, keeps Ethereum secure and free of centralized control. ETH powers Ethereum.When you stake your ETH, you help secure Ethereum and earn rewards. In this system, the threat of losing ETH deters attackers. More on stakingETH underpins the Ethereum financial systemNot satisfied with payments, the Ethereum community is building a whole financial system that's peer-to-peer and accessible to everyone.You can use ETH as collateral to generate entirely different cryptocurrency tokens on Ethereum. Plus you can borrow, lend and earn interest on ETH and other ETH-backed tokens.Uses for ETH grow every dayBecause Ethereum is programmable, developers can shape ETH in countless ways.Back in 2015, all you could do was send ETH from one Ethereum account to another. Here are just some of things you can do today.Stream ETH – pay someone or receive funds in real time.Swap tokens – you can trade ETH with other tokens including Bitcoin.Earn interest – on ETH and other Ethereum-based tokens.Get stablecoins – access the world of cryptocurrencies with a steady, less-volatile value.Why does ETH have value?ETH's valuable in different ways to different people.For users of Ethereum, ETH is valuable because it lets you pay transaction fees.Others see it as a digital store of value because the creation of new ETH slows down over time.More recently, ETH has become valuable to users of financial apps on Ethereum. That's because you can use ETH as collateral for crypto loans, or as a payment system.Of course many also see it as an investment, similar to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.What was The Merge?The Merge was the joining of the original execution layer of Ethereum (the Mainnet that has existed since genesis) with its new proof-of-stake consensus layer, the Beacon Chain. It eliminated the need for energy-intensive mining and instead enabled the the network to be secured using staked ETH. It was a truly exciting step in realizing the Ethereum vision—more scalability, security, and sustainability.Initially, the Beacon Chain shipped separately from Mainnet. Ethereum Mainnet - with all it's accounts, balances, smart contracts, and blockchain state - continued to be secured by proof-of-work, even while the Beacon Chain ran in parallel using proof-of-stake. The Merge was when these two systems finally came together, and proof-of-work was permanently replaced by proof-of-stake.Imagine Ethereum is a spaceship that launched before it was quite ready for an interstellar voyage. With the Beacon Chain, the community built a new engine and a hardened hull. After significant testing, it became time to hot-swap the new engine for the old one mid-flight. This merged the new, more efficient engine into the existing ship enabling it to put in some serious lightyears and take on the universe.Merging with MainnetProof-of-work secured Ethereum Mainnet from genesis until The Merge. This allowed the Ethereum blockchain we're all used to to come into existence in July 2015 with all its familiar features—transactions, smart contracts, accounts, etc.Throughout Ethereum's history, developers prepared for an eventual transition away from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. On December 1, 2020, the Beacon Chain was created as a separate blockchain to Mainnet, running in parallel.The Beacon Chain was not originally processing Mainnet transactions. Instead, it was reaching consensus on its own state by agreeing on active validators and their account balances. After extensive testing, it became time for the Beacon Chain to reach consensus on real world data. After The Merge, the Beacon Chain became the consensus engine for all network data, including execution layer transactions and account balances.The Merge represented the official switch to using the Beacon Chain as the engine of block production. Mining is no longer the means of producing valid blocks. Instead, the proof-of-stake validators have adopted this role and are now responsible for processing the validity of all transactions and proposing blocks.No history was lost in The Merge. As Mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain, it also merged the entire transactional history of Ethereum.This transition to proof-of-stake changed the way ether is issued.

	3		Bnb	754,26€	-0.58%	+16.29%	102.851.207.661€
		What is BNB?Binance Coin (BNB) is a cryptocurrency issued by leading exchange Binance that also serves as the native token of the BNB Chain, an Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible network that supports smart contracts and decentralized applications.Binance was created in July 2017, with BNB initially being issued through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on the Ethereum blockchain, as an ERC-20 token before the launch of BNB Chain.At the time of the ICO, 100,000,000 BNB tokens, equivalent to 50% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply, were sold at a price of 1 ETH for 2,700 BNB, or 1 BTC for 20,000 BNB. While BNB’s total supply is 200,000,000 coins, Binance regularly burns tokens, in a bid to reduce BNB’s circulating supply to 100,000,000.Who Created BNB?As mentioned above, Binance created the BNB token and distributed part of its supply via an ICO back in 2017. Binance’s founding team and angel investors kept the remaining BNB tokens, with some having suggested these weren’t touched to this day.BNB’s initial supply was distributed as follows, according to its whitepaper:       Public token sale: 100,000,000 BNB (50% of the supply)       Founding team: 80,000,000 BNB (40% of the supply)       Angel investors: 20,000,000 BNB (10% of the supply)Binance raised $15 million at launch through its ICO, and used part of the funds to upgrade the Binance platform and exchange system. Half of the proceeds were allocated toward Binance branding and marketing, while another portion was kept as a reserve.The exchange’s founding team included its CEO Changpeng Zhao, Roger Want as CTO, James Hofbauer as Chief Architect, Paul Jankunas as VP of Engineering, Allan Yan as Product Director, Sunny Li as Operations Director, and more.Investors and advisors to Binance include Roger Ver, CEO of Bitcoin.com; Da Hongfei, founder of AntShares; Zhao Dong, one of the largest over-the-counter crypto brokers in China; Yang Linke, co-founder of BTCChina, and many more.What is BNB Used For?BNB’s use cases have been expanding over time. It was initially used for BNB users to receive a discount on trading fees on the Binance exchange, and these use cases quickly expanded to other benefits on the exchange.Nowadays, BNB can be used within the Binance ecosystem to pay for hotel and flight expenses, to book car rides, buy virtual gifts, non-fungible tokens, or pay for everyday items using the Binance Card.On the BNB Chain, BNB can be staked to help secure the network and earn yield, and used to pay for transaction fees to send funds or interact with smart contracts within the network. The token can be used as collateral for loans, or used to pay for investments in several assets on different platforms.As the native asset of a smart contract-powered network, BNB’s use cases are likely going to keep growing over time.Telegram | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | GitHub | RedditWhitepaper Read the white paper.
	4		Xrp	1,63€	-0.43%	-44.98%	98.861.861.317€
		What is XRP?XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger and positions itself as a “fast and green” digital asset that was built “to be the most practical cryptocurrency for applications across the financial services space.” It offers fast transaction settlements, can handle thousands of transactions per second, and relies on hundreds of validators on its network.The cryptocurrency aims to complement traditional payment methods, and allows regulated entities to follow strict money transmission laws. While more open blockchains like that of Bitcoin (BTC) allow anyone to contribute to the network and validate transactions, the XRP Ledger relies on approved validators.All 100 billion XRP were distributed when the cryptocurrency was created, with some of the tokens going to its creators, and other being sent out through gifts and giveaways. A large percentage of XRP’s supply is held in escrow.Who created XRP?Several individuals were involved in creating the technology behind XRP and the businesses that helped it grow to become one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.Mt. Gox founder Jed McCaleb, Arthur Britto, and Chris Larsen are often credited for creating XRP. These three individuals have notable careers and were also the co-founders of OpenCoin, a fintech firm that rebranded to Ripple.Other notable individuals involved included Stefan Thomas, a Bitcoin Core contributor and former Ripple CTO, David Schwarz, co-author of the Ripple white paper, along with Arthur Britto.Ripple is one of the largest XRP Ledger players and is directly associated with the cryptocurrency. It plays a critical role in developing the XRP Ledger and its ecosystem.What is Ripple’s relation to XRP?Ripple is a for-profit company founded in 2012 under the name OpenCoin. OpenCoin rebranded to Ripple Labs in 2013, before settling on Ripple in 2015. The company’s involvement with XRP is “focused on building technology to help unleash new utility for XRP and global payments.”Ripple promotes and uses the XRP token through its RippleNet product, which the company says offers connections to financial institutions worldwide and makes moving money “faster, cheaper and more reliable.”RippleNet uses XRP to source liquidity for cross-border transactions. Its use eliminates the need to pre-fund accounts and is used by financial giants, including Santander, Bank of America, SBI Remit, Banco Rendimento, and others.Blockchain data provided by: Blockchair (Block/Ledgers Number only), Ripple Data API (Total Supply only)Telegram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn | GitHub | RedditWhitepaper Read the white paper.
	5		Usd coin	0,85€	-0.63%	-11.29%	62.372.094.443€
		Who Created USDC?The cryptocurrency is an open-source project that anyone can view and contribute to and is managed by the Centre consortium, which was co-founded by fintech firm Circle and Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase.Accounting firm Grant Thornton oversees the segregated accounts with regulated U.S. financial institutions that hold the cryptocurrency’s reserves, held in dollars and dollar-denominated assets. In USDC’s case, these dollar-denominated assets are short-term U.S. Treasury securities.How Does USDC Remain at $1!?Because USDC is a fully collateralized stablecoin backed by dollar-denominated assets and allows token holders to redeem USDC tokens for dollars, it can almost be seen as a digital version of the U.S. dollar.Investors can initiate a transaction to buy USDC using fiat currency, with the fiat currency they send over being deposited at a U.S. financial institution while USDC tokens in the same nominal value are minted. If the USDC is redeemed for the fiat currency, the tokens are burned and the dollars are transferred to investors’ bank accounts, according to USDC’s whitepaper. What is USDC Used For?USDC is a widely used stablecoin being adopted throughout the cryptocurrency market as it competes with the leading stablecoin USDT. Some of the cryptocurrency’s use cases include:Hedging against volatilityStable price-peggingRemittancesCrowdfundingPayments for products and servicesLending, borrowing, and other financial servicesBecause USDC is a blockchain-based digital currency, it doesn’t require a bank account, users don’t need to be in a specific location or have an account with a specific institution to use it. Moreover, it isn’t restricted by banking hours or borders.The cryptocurrency is available on a number of blockchains, including Ethereum, Algorand, BNB Chain, Polygon Avalanche, Cronos, Solana, Stellar, and TRON. It’s widely used in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.GitHub | Medium Read the white paper.
	6		Solana	107,99€	-1.64%	-55.29%	61.103.732.036€
		Solana (SOL) saw in late 2020 its adoption start picking up steam. In October 2020 Circle expanded the USDC stablecoin into the Solana network. The move came shortly after Tether’s USDT was added to it in September 2020.What is Solana?Solana is a high-performance blockchain founded by former Qualcomm, Intel, and Dropbox engineers that uses a delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) consensus algorithm. The network uses a unique method of ordering transactions to improve its speed and throughput significantly.Blockchain networks have historically struggled with scalability issues, with the few that managed to solve them dealing with centralization issues. A decentralized network with small confirmation times and transaction fees has been hard to create, but the problem was tackled in 2017 with the creation of Solana.Using what’s known as Proof-of-History (PoH), the Solana blockchain is able to handle thousands of transactions per second. PoH uses Verifiable Delay Functions to hash incoming events and transactions to allow nodes to locally generate timestamps of SHA256 computations, eliminating the need for timestamps to be broadcasted across the network.The Proof-of-History mechanism is implemented prior to, and facilitates, Solana’s Proof-of-Stake structure. Staking on Solana involved delegating tokens to validators who process transactions on the network, turning it into a delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) system.According to the Solana team, there are eight major innovations allowing the network to scale to serve the web with capabilities matching those of a centralized system. The network has 400ms block times and can handle up to 65,000 transactions per second.The network has already processed well over 21 billion transactions while handling over 800 transactions per second of real demand.What is the SOL token?The Solana blockchain has a native cryptocurrency, the SOL utility token. SOL is used to pay for transaction fees when moving funds around and interacting with smart contracts on the blockchain.Anyone holding SOL tokens can interact with applications on the network, the same way anyone holding ETH can interact with applications on the Ethereum blockchain. While Ethereum uses the ERC token protocol, Solana uses the SPL protocol.SOL has two main use cases: It’s used to pay transaction fees and to interact with smart contracts It can be staked as part of the dPoS consensus mechanism to earn staking rewardsApart from these two use cases, decentralized applications being built on top of the Solana blockchain create new ones. These applications may allow SOL to be used as collateral for cryptocurrency-backed loans, or to be lent out to earn interest.Telegram | Discord | YouTube | Reddit | GitHub | MediumWhitepaper Read the white paper.
	7		Tron	0,25€	-4.26%	+3.76%	23.862.503.210€
		What is Tron (TRX)?Tron is a decentralized blockchain-based platform based on the TRON protocol, which is a blockchain operating system that offers high throughput, high scalability, and high availability for all decentralized applications (DApps) within the TRON ecosystem.The blockchain-based platform’s native cryptocurrency, TRX, was originally an ERC-20 token , meaning it was built on the Ethereum blockchain and followed the ERC-20 standard, before Tron launched its own blockchain.Initially, the project was aimed at providing full ownership rights while offering their content directly to consumers. It has since grown into an ecosystem aiming to establish a “truly decentralized internet and its infrastructure,” according to its whitepaper.Tron supports smart contracts and has a number of decentralized applications built on top of its network. Its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem has billions in total value locked. The project gained mainstream attention after, in 2018, the non-profit organization heading Tron’s development, the Tron Foundation, acquired BitTorrent.Tron uses an account-based model similar to that of Ethereum (ETH) and achieves consensus through a delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) algorithm that sees TRX token holders delegate transaction validation to 27 “super representatives” that are chosen every six hours.Who Created Tron?Tron was created by popular entrepreneur  H.E. Justin Sun, a two-time recipient of the Forbes “30-Under-30” award in Asia. The project was launched in early 2017 on top of the Ethereum blockchain, and migrated to its own blockchain in 2018.Before creating Tron, Sun founded audio application Peiwo, and served as a representative for Ripple, a for-profit fintech firm that has been one of the largest players in the XRP ecosystem. Sun’s previous successes attracted high-profile investors, who in turn attracted retail investors to Tron’s initial coin offering (ICO).H.E. Justin Sun is still actively involved in the project and has since integrated Poloniex into the Tron ecosystem. He also actively supports BitTorrent and is a permanent representative of Grenada to the WTO.What is TRX Used For?The TRX token has a number of use cases, with the main one being to pay for transaction fees on the Tron blockchain. TRX holders can boost their earnings by staking tokens with a Super Representative on the network in a move that involves freezing their tokens.The Tron network achieved its decentralization in December 2021 and has since then become a community-governed project through its decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). TRX holders vote on-chain for a selection of Super Representatives and can actively participate in the community to help the project advance.Tron is estimated to be able to handle 2,000 transactions per second and has low transaction fees, with blocks being generated every three seconds. These features have seen its adoption of stablecoins grow, with TRC-20 USDT and USDC supplies being significant.Moreover, Tron’s DeFi ecosystem allows TRX token holders to access a number of financial services on the blockchain.Telegram | Discord | Facebook | YouTube | Weibo | LinkedIn | GitHub | Reddit | MediumWhitepaper Read the white paper.
	8		Dogecoin	0,11€	-1.42%	-68.5%	17.766.082.182€
		What is Dogecoin (DOGE)?Dogecoin (DOGE) is a cryptocurrency that was created in 2013, inspired by the then-popular Shiba Inu dog meme “doge.” The cryptocurrency’s blockchain has been built with underlying technology from Litecoin (LTC), a cryptocurrency often referred to as the silver to Bitcoin’s gold.The early Dogecoin community was well-known for taking on philanthropic projects, which included helping charitable organizations. It made headlines in 2014 after raising more than $25,000 worth of DOGE to let the Jamaican bobsleigh team attend the Winter Olympics in Sochi.In 2021, search interest for DOGE exploded after influencers associated with the popular WallStreetBets subreddit rallied users to try to get the cryptocurrency to the $1 mark. The rally was fueled on social media, with many jumping on the DOGE bandwagon.Celebrities, including Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk, later on started joking around the cryptocurrency, adding fuel to the fire. When the rally died down, and the cryptocurrency market entered a prolonged bearish period, Musk kept on supporting DOGE and moved to accept it for merchandise payments at Tesla.Who Created Dogecoin?Dogecoin was created by Jackson Palmer, a product manager at Adobe, and Billy Markus, a software developer at IBM. The cryptocurrency was initially created as a way to satirize the hype surrounding cryptocurrencies back in 2013, but received immensely positive feedback shortly after launch.The cryptocurrency initially used a randomized reward for block mining, but that reward was changed to a static reward in 2014. It uses Litecoin’s Scrypt mining algorithm and is a Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency that can be merged mined along with LTC.Why Does Dogecoin Have Value?Dogecoin, unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, was designed to be abundant and circulate. At the time of writing, there are 132 billion DOGE in circulation, and the cryptocurrency does not have a maximum supply.As it was created as a meme some suggest it shouldn’t have any value. Supply and demand, however, dictate that DOGE’s value has moved up over time, partly as the cryptocurrencies starts being broadly used by the community and accepted as a payment method by large retailers. Tesla, for example, accepts DOGE payments for merchandise on its website.Investors also piled on DOGE as they speculated its price could surge in the near future. Its adoption may grow if it’s integrated into new products and services Elon Musk’s companies – which now also include microblogging platform Twitter – may launch over time.Blockchain data provided by: Blockchair (Main Source), DogeChain (Backup), and WhatToMine (Block Reward and Time only)Discord | Facebook | BitcoinTalk | GitHub | RedditWhitepaper Read the white paper.
	9		Cardano	0,31€	-1.5%	-67.07%	10.993.383.236€
		What is Cardano?Cardano (ADA) is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that’s designed to be flexible, sustainable, and scalable. It supports smart contracts, allowing for the creation of decentralized applications (dApps), tokens, and more on its network.The Cardano network aims to be the most environmentally sustainable blockchain platform through the use of its Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism called Ouroboros, which allows ADA token holders to help validate transactions by “delegating” their tokens to staking pools run by validators.The blockchain is divided into the Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL), which contains the accounts and balances and is where the Ouruboros consensus mechanism validates transactions, and the Cardano Computing Layer (CCL), which is where the computations for decentralized applications built on top of Cardano are run.Who Created Cardano?The Cardano network was launched in September 2017 by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood, without support for smart contracts. These were rolled out later on through the Alonzo hard fork.The network was launched using a consensus mechanism, Ouroboros, that’s based on peer-reviewed research by a team of cryptographers from several institutions, including the University of Edinburgh and Tokyo University.Cardano is now maintained by three separate organizations and by its community. The organizations behind Cardano include the Cardano Foundation, which is a non-profit organization supervising the network’s development, Input Output Global, and Emurgo, which encourages Cardano adoption.The network is developed through a series of eras named after notable figures. The network’s current era, Basho, focuses on scalability and network optimization, while its final era Voltaire will bring voting and treasury management to the blockchain.What is ADA?ADA is the native token of the Cardano blockchain, akin to ETH on the Ethereum network. It’s used to pay for transaction fees on the network and can be used for governance or to earn rewards by participating in the network’s Proof-of-Stake consensus.ADA is named after Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, who is often referred to as the first computer programmer.Cardano’s Voltaire era will bring voting and treasury management to the network, which will allow ADA token holders to vote on the project’s future direction, in a way similar to the one owners of decentralized autonomous organizations’ (DAOs) governance tokens vote on proposals.Blockchain data provided by: BlockchairTelegram | Discord | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | LinkedIn | Meetup | GitHub | Reddit | Medium Read the white paper.
	10		Bitcoin cash	504,21€	-0.68%	+22.41%	10.076.306.981€
		Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a hard forked version of the original Bitcoin. It is similar to bitcoin with regards to its protocol; Proof of Work SHA-256 hashing, 21,000,000 supply, same block times and reward system. However two main differences are the the blocksize limits, as of August 2017 Bitcoin has a 1MB blocksize limit whereas BCH proposes 8MB blocks. Bitcoin Cash is a proposal from the viaBTC mining pool and the Bitmain mining group to carry out a UAHF (User Activated Hard Fork) on August 1st 12:20 pm UTC. They rejected the agreed consensus (aka BIP-91 or SegWit2x) and have decided to fork the original Bitcoin blockchain and create this new version called “Bitcoin Cash”. Bitcoin Cash can be claimed by BTC owners who have their private keys or store their Bitcoins on a service that will split BCH for the customer. On November 15, 2020, Bitcoin Cash experienced a scheduled upgrade. Bitcoin Cash developers from various full node projects changed the Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm (DAA) to a new DAA called ‘aserti3-2d‘ (or ‘ASERT’ for short).Blockchain data provided by: Blockchair (Main Source), WhatToMine (Block Time only)Facebook | BitcoinTalk | GitHub | GitLab | Reddit Read the white paper.

	13		Litecoin	57,98€	-1.7%	-48.84%	4.450.869.895€
		What is Litecoin (LTC)?Litecoin (LTC) is widely seen as the first successful alternative cryptocurrency (altcoin). It was created back in 2011 as a fork of Bitcoin, and features near-zero cost peer-to-peer transactions.It differs from the flagship cryptocurrency in a number of ways, however, with reduced transaction confirmation times, lower fees, a larger maximum supply of 84 million LTC, and other different technical aspects.LTC is often referred to as the “silver to Bitcoin’s gold,” and just like BTC it runs on an open-source blockchain that isn’t controlled by any central authority. It can be mined through a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm, with miners being rewarded for adding new blocks to the blockchain. Its mining algorithm initially attempted to reduce the effectiveness of specialized mining equipment, but it was unsuccessful in doing so.Just like Bitcoin, Litecoin undergoes halving events, in which the coinbase reward for miners who find blocks on the network is halved.Who Created LTC?The cryptocurrency was created by former Google engineer Charlie Lee, who referred to it as a “lite version of Bitcoin” at one point. Lee is a computer scientist and a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who worked at Google before creating the cryptocurrency.After creating Litecoin, Lee went on to work as Director of Engineering at cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. Since taking up the role, Lee largely stopped focusing on Litecoin’s development, although the community kept supporting the cryptocurrency.In late 2017, Lee left Coinbase to work on developing Litecoin full-time. Now, he serves as the managing director of a non-profit organization dedicated to LTC, the Litecoin Foundation.Why Does Litecoin Have Value?Litecoin, like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, has a finite supply and periodically reduces the amount of LTC entering the system, ensuring its inflation is transparent and predictable. Traders have relied on Litecoin as an alternative to Bitcoin which has managed to remain popular throughout the years.Litecoin is nowadays used to pay for goods and services through various payment processors. Because it’s less popular than Bitcoin and has several other changes made to it, LTC transactions are relatively cheap and settle faster.The cryptocurrency is often also used as a testing ground for new technologies before they are implemented on the Bitcoin network. Litecoin was first to implement Segregated Witness (SegWit), which “segregates” a transaction’s digital signature data (the witness) outside of it to use limited block space better, even though the technology was first proposed for Bitcoin.LTC also implemented the Lightning Network, a layer-two scaling solution, before Bitcoin. Many used Litecoin’s Lightning Network to test the network, which relies on user-generated payment channels, in a real economic environment. The first Lightning Network transactions using LTC transferred 0.00000001 LTC from Zurich to San Francisco in under one second.Blockchain data provided by: Blockchair (Main Source), CryptoID (Backup), and WhatToMine (Block Time only)Facebook | Instagram Read the white paper.

		Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching decentralized finance applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in one interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem. Developers who build on Avalanche can easily create applications and custom blockchain networks with complex rulesets or build on existing private or public subnets.Avalanche can confirm transactions in under one second, supports the entirety of the Ethereum development toolkit, and enables millions of independent validators to participate as full block producers (Avalanche had over 1,000 full, block-producing nodes on its Denali testnet).In addition to supporting transaction finality under one second, Avalanche is capable of throughput orders of magnitude greater than existing decentralized blockchain networks (4,500+ transactions/second) and security thresholds well-above the 51% standards of other networks.AVAX is the capped supply native token of the Avalanche platform. Participants can become full block-producers and validators by staking AVAX and are incentivized to do so because of staking rewards. Fees for all sorts of operations on the network are paid out in AVAX through burning, thus increasing the scarcity of AVAX for all token holders.On September 2020, Avalanche announced the launch of its mainnnet.Telegram | Discord | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn | Meetup | GitHub | Reddit | MediumWhitepaper Read the white paper.

		Hedera is a decentralized public network for the users to make its digital world exactly as it should be – theirs. Whether the user is a startup or enterprise, a creator or a consumer, Hedera is designed to go beyond blockchain for developers to create the next era of fast, fair, and secure applications.HBAR is the native, energy-efficient cryptocurrency of the Hedera public network. Hbars are used to power decentralized applications and protect the network from malicious actors.Developers use hbars to pay for network services, such as transferring hbars, managing fungible and non-fungible tokens, and logging data. For each transaction submitted to the network, hbars are used to compensate network nodes for bandwidth, compute, and storage.Hedera’s proof-of-stake public network uses hbars, which are staked or proxy staked (coming soon) to a network node, to weight votes on transactions when reaching consensus.Weighted voting with hbars makes it difficult and expensive for a bad actor to maliciously affect consensus — it would require them to own and stake over one-third of the network’s total supply of HBAR, which will not be possible for the first 5 years.Telegram | Discord | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn | GitHub | Reddit | MediumWhitepaper Read the white paper.
	16		Polkadot new	1,64€	-2.44%	-72.76%	2.717.471.202€
		What is Polkadot?Polkadot is a blockchain network often described as a “blockchain of blockchains,” as it allows users to launch and operate their own blockchains on top of the main Polkadot blockchain. This main blockchain, called the relay chain, does not support smart contracts, but other blockchains connected to it can support them.As a result, Polkadot is set to become a growing ecosystem of cryptocurrencies that competes with other smart contract networks such as Ethereum, the Binance Smart Chain, and more. It was launched in 2020 and brings a number of technical features that help it reach its goal.The user-created blockchains, called parachains, benefit from the same security of the relay chain where transactions are permanent, but can be customized by the users. Polkadot’s design allows it to become a network of blockchains with secure transactions and varying features, all while using the resources of its relay chain.Polkadot’s design is new and unique, but developers and users are able to experiment in a real economic environment called the Kusama network. Kusama can be seen as a sandbox for users and developers to test early versions of what will be launched on Polkadot in a network with a valuable cryptocurrency traded on the open market.Polkadot will also include bridges, which allow the Polkadot network to interact with other blockchains. Through bridges, Polkadot users will, for example, be able to swap tokens without a centralized exchange.What Is DOT Used For?DOT is the native cryptocurrency of the Polkadot network and serves as its governance token. DOT holders can stake their tokens to vote on network upgrades and help decide the future of Polkadot by actively participating in its governance.DOT holders can influence the project’s governance by voting on changes, and by electing the Council members. These are responsible for proposing changes and determining which ones are made to the software.Staking DOT also yields returns as holders are at the same time securing the network and validating transactions. Polkadot rewards DOT stakers with newly minted tokens based on the amount they are staking.DOT can also be bonded to connect a chain to Polkadot as a parachain. The token has the ability t be locked for a specific period to secure a parachain slot in the network.Who Created Polkadot?The Polkadot project was founded by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, along with Peter Czaban and Robert Habermeier in 2016. Wood is the developer behind Solidity, the coding language used to write smart contracts on Ethereum and has experience as a research scientist at Microsoft.Wood is the president of the Web3 Foundation, a non-profit organization that conducted Polkadot’s token sales. The foundation was co-founded with Pete Czaban and received 30% of the proceeds. IT oversees the allocation of funds to further the development of Polkadot.The Web3 Foundation also maintains Polkadot’s open-source code and supports its use."This page refers to the new DOT which is 100x smaller than the old DOT (the DOT token underwent a redenomination from its original sale on 21 August 2020 at 16:40 UTC, block number 1,248,328)"Telegram | Discord | YouTube | GitHub | Reddit | MediumWhitepaper Read the white paper.
	17		Uniswap	4,13€	-1%	-65.21%	2.620.879.920€
		Uniswap is a protocol for exchanging ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum. It eliminates trusted intermediaries and unnecessary forms of rent extraction, allowing for fast, efficient trading. Where it makes tradeoffs decentralization, censorship resistance, and security are prioritized. Uniswap is open-source software licensed under GPL.The introduction of UNI (ERC-20) on September 16th, 2020 enables shared community ownership and a vibrant, diverse, and dedicated governance system, which will actively guide the protocol towards the future.1 billion UNI have been minted at genesis and will become accessible over the course of 4 years. A perpetual inflation rate of 2% per year will start after 4 years, ensuring continued participation and contribution to Uniswap at the expense of passive UNI holders.Uniswap has embraced the tenets of neutrality and trust minimization: it is crucial that governance is constrained to where it is strictly necessary. With this in mind, the Uniswap governance framework is limited to contributing to both protocol development and usage as well as the development of the broader Uniswap ecosystem. In doing so, UNI officially enshrines Uniswap as publicly-owned and self-sustainable infrastructure while continuing to carefully protect its indestructible and autonomous qualities.Discord | GitHub | Reddit Read the white paper.

		Read the white paper.
	21		Cosmos	1,99€	-2.71%	-66.47%	972.115.188€
		Cosmos is a network of many independent blockchains, called zones. The zones are powered by Tendermint Core, which provides a high-performance, consistent, secure PBFT-like consensus engine, where strict fork-accountability guarantees hold over the behaviour of malicious actors. Tendermint Core’s BFT consensus algorithm is well suited for scaling public proof-of-stake blockchains.The first zone on Cosmos is called the Cosmos Hub. The Cosmos Hub is a multi-asset proof-of-stake cryptocurrency with a simple governance mechanism which enables the network to adapt and upgrade. In addition, the Cosmos Hub can be extended by connecting other zones. The hub and zones of the Cosmos network communicate with each other via an inter-blockchain communication (IBC) protocol, a kind of virtual UDP or TCP for blockchains. Tokens can be transferred from one zone to another securely and quickly without the need for exchange liquidity between zones. Instead, all inter-zone token transfers go through the Cosmos Hub, which keeps track of the total amount of tokens held by each zone. The hub isolates each zone from the failure of other zones. Because anyone can connect a new zone to the Cosmos Hub, zones allow for future-compatibility with new blockchain innovations. The supply won’t be limited as the project plans to introduce a yearly inflatory model.Telegram | Discord | GitHub | Reddit | YouTubeWhitepaper Read the white paper.

	25		Quant	67,20€	-2.79%	-33.7%	811.282.735€
		What is Quant?Quant is a cryptocurrency project that launched in June 2018 with the goal of connecting blockchains and networks on a global scale without sacrificing efficiency. To achieve this, Quant has developed the Overledger Network, which it describes as the first blockchain operating system. The Overledger Network is designed to allow applications to operate on multiple blockchains, providing a bridge between them and allowing them to interoperate. This is accomplished through the use of APIs, which allow different blockchains to communicate and exchange data with one another.One of the key features of the Overledger Network is its ability to support the development and deployment of decentralized applications (dApps). These dApps, also known as MApps (multi-chain applications), can be built by developers and used by their users on top of the Overledger Network. This allows developers to create applications that can function on multiple blockchains, rather than being limited to just one.In terms of its technical implementation, Quant uses a hybrid consensus mechanism that combines proof-of-stake (PoS) with a unique variant of proof-of-work (PoW) called proof-of-activity (PoA). This hybrid approach is intended to provide the benefits of both PoS and PoW while minimizing their respective drawbacks.Overall, Quant aims to provide a decentralized, open-source platform that can support the development and deployment of dApps across multiple blockchains, enabling greater interoperability and connectivity within the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.What is QNT used for?QNT is the native cryptocurrency of the Quant network and serves as a means of exchange and security token on the platform. It enables holders to participate in the governance of the network and can be used to pay fees and secure the network through the proof-of-stake (PoS) and proof-of-activity (PoA) consensus mechanisms. Developers looking to create a multi-chain application (MApp) on the Quant network must hold a specific amount of QNT tokens, which are used to power the Overledger Network and pay for services developed on top of it. QNT is an ERC-20 token, meaning it is built on the Ethereum blockchain and follows the ERC-20 standard.Who created Quant?Quant says its technology is the brainchild of its cofounder Gilbert Verdian, who while serving at HM Treasury in the UK Government in 2009, and later as Chief Information Security Officer for a Department of Health in Australia “realised the full potential of DLTs [distributed ledger technologies].”The platform was also cofounded by Dr Paolo Tasca, an entrepreneur and digital economist specialized in distributed systems. Dr. Tasca has served as a special advisor on blockchain technology at the United Nations and worked with central banks throughout the world.Telegram | LinkedIn | YouTube | GitHub | Reddit | Medium Read the white paper.
	26		Tezos	0,49€	-3.21%	-55.3%	523.559.093€
		Tezos is a new decentralized blockchain that governs itself by establishing a true digital commonwealth. It facilitates formal verification, a technique that mathematically proves the correctness of the code governing transactions and boosts the security of the most sensitive or financially weighted smart contracts.Tezos takes a fundamentally different approach to governance by creating governance rules for stakeholders to approve of protocol upgrades that are then automatically deployed on the network. When a developer proposes a protocol upgrade, they can attach an invoice to be paid out to their address upon approval and inclusion of their upgrade. This approach provides a strong incentive for participation in the Tezos core development and further decentralizes the maintenance of the network. It compensates developers with tokens that have immediate value rather than forcing them to seek corporate sponsorships, foundation salaries, or work for Internet fame alone.Blockchain data provided by: Blockchair (main source), TzStats (backup)Telegram | Discord | GitLab | Reddit | Medium Read the white paper.

		What are Axie Infinity Shards (AXS)?Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) are the governance token of the popular blockchain-based game Axie Infinity. The game was created by SkyMavis and allows players to earn income through non-fungible tokens (NFTs), by breeding, battling, and trading digital pets called Axies.Players need AXS tokens to trade Axies and can stake their coins to earn weekly rewards and participate in the protocol’s governance. New players have to buy at least three tokens, priced in ether, to truly participate in the game.Each Axie is an NFT on its own with different attributes. These pets can enter battles to earn experience points and more. They can also be bred together to create new Axie NFTs with different attributes. These new Axies can then be used or sold on the Axie marketplace.According to DappRadar, the Axie Infinity game has multiple ways to earn revenue and has been gaining popularity in developing countries like Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Venezuela as a way to earn income. Dedicated players can reportedly earn over $1,000 a month in the game.Who created AXS?The Axie Infinity game was created back in 2018 by Sky Mavis, a firm co-founded by Trung Nguyen and Aleksander Larsen. In total, the Axie Infinity team now has 25 full-time employees actively working on improving the game.The Axie Infinity Shards were launched in November 2020 with a public sale price of just $0.1 per token – meaning their price has increased over 28,000% since launch. Their launch came as part of an effort to decentralize the game Etherscan data shows there are over 10,500 AXS holders.Telegram | Discord | Facebook | Instagram | TikTok | GitHub | Reddit | MediumWhitepaper Read the white paper.
	29		The sandbox	0,13€	-13.07%	-75.51%	344.109.705€
		The Sandbox is a community-driven platform where creators can monetize voxel ASSETS and gaming experiences on the blockchain. SAND holders will be also able to participate in the governance of the platform via a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), where they can exercise voting rights on key decisions of The Sandbox ecosystem. As a player, the user can create digital assets (Non-Fungible Tokens, aka NFTs), upload them to the marketplace, and drag-and-drop them to create game experiences with The Sandbox Game Maker.As the Sandbox virtual world is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, it is secured by the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. The SAND token is a standard version ERC-20 token, which means owners can stake it and benefit from staking rewards. Unlike the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism employed by the Bitcoin blockchain, PoS does not require vast amounts of electrical or computing power to validate transactions. It relies on stakeholders with the largest holdings in SAND tokens. The PoS consensus mechanism allows for a lot of diverse applications while still ensuring the security of staked funds.Telegram | Discord | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Twitch | GitHub | MediumWhitepaper Read the white paper.

	34		Synthetix	0,37€	+0.77%	-75.63%	125.504.186€
		Synthetix (SNX) is a rebranding of Havven.io (HAV).Synthetix is a decentralised synthetic asset issuance protocol built on Ethereum. These synthetic assets are collateralized by the Synthetix Network Token (SNX) which when locked in the contract enables the issuance of synthetic assets (Synths). This pooled collateral model enables users to perform conversions between Synths directly with the smart contract, avoiding the need for counterparties.This mechanism is designed to solve the liquidity and slippage issues experienced by DEX’s. Synthetix currently supports synthetic fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies (long and short) and commodities. SNX holders are incentivised to stake their tokens as they are paid a pro-rata portion of the fees generated through activity on Synthetix.Exchange, based on their contribution to the network. It is the right to participate in the network and capture fees generated from Synth exchanges, from which the value of the SNX token is derived. Trading on Synthetix.Exchange does not require the trader to hold SNX.How SNX backs SynthsAll Synths are backed by SNX tokens. Synths are minted when SNX holders stake their SNX as collateral using Mintr, a decentralised application for interacting with the Synthetix contracts. Synths are currently backed by a 750% collateralisation ratio, although this may be raised or lowered in the future through community governance mechanisms. SNX stakers incur debt when they mint Synths, and to exit the system (i.e. unlock their SNX) they must pay back this debt by burning Synths.Synthetix is also currently trialling Ether as an alternative form of collateral. This means traders can borrow Synths against their ETH and begin trading immediately, rather than needing to sell their ETH. Staking ETH requires a collateralisation ratio of 150% and creates a debt denominated in ETH, so ETH stakers mint sETH rather than sUSD and do not participate in the ‘pooled debt’ aspect of the system. In this model, ETH stakers do not receive fees or rewards as they take no risk for the debt pool. Discord | GitHub | RedditLitepaper Read the white paper.

	36		Kusama	5,77€	-0.41%	-77.7%	101.846.756€
		Self-described as "Polkadot's wild cousin," Kusama is an experimental blockchain platform that is designed to provide a massively interoperable and scalable framework for developers. Kusama is built on Substrate — a blockchain building kit developed by Parity Technologies. Kusama has almost the same codebase as Polkadot — one of the most successful interoperable blockchains.By deploying on Kusama, fast-paced projects gain access to a highly scalable, interoperable sharded network, with features that are not yet available on Polkadot. To that end, Kusama describes itself as a “canary network.” The platform is designed to provide a testbed for developers looking to innovate and deploy their own blockchain and can be used as a preparatory network before launching on Polkadot — though many projects opt to stick with Kusama for their final product. Kusama benefits from a low barrier to entry for deploying parachains, low bond requirements for validators, and is most commonly used by early-stage startups and for experimentation.Discord | YouTube | GitHub | Reddit | Medium Read the white paper.
