The standard

A cryptocurrency is certified real when it meets every one of these tests. There is no application process and no fee.

  1. A running ledger. The coin exists on a working network or a public, inspectable ledger — not a whitepaper, not a waitlist.
  2. Written issuance rules, kept. Supply follows a published schedule. No secret mint, no hidden insider allocation.
  3. No exit built for insiders. No presale dump structure, no unlock cliff designed to leave the public holding the bag.
  4. A reason to exist. The coin does something — settles, secures, pays, plays. “Number go up” is not a use.
  5. Someone stands behind the listing. Every entry carries a certificate number, and every delisting is published with its reason. Nothing is memory-holed.

Struck from the register

Nothing has been struck. When a certified coin fails the standard, it will be recorded here with its certificate number, the date, and the reason. The record is never deleted.

About everything not listed

Absence from this register is not an accusation. Thousands of coins have simply not been examined, and some never will be. A coin’s absence means only that it is not certified — nothing more.

The register. This register is maintained by administration from RealCryptoCurrency.com.
