Cosmos vs Tron

The all-time high refers to the highest price a cryptocurrency has ever reached. It marks the point at which the cryptocurrency’s value hit its previous peak, based on available historical data. For many, this high is an important data point as it helps better assess the current price and market potential of the coin.

Market capitalization is the total value of all coins of a cryptocurrency currently in circulation. It is calculated by multiplying the number of coins in circulation by the current price of a single coin.

Trading volume (24h) is the total value of all transactions that took place on crypto exchanges in the last 24 hours. A high trading volume generally indicates greater market activity and better liquidity.

The price trend shows short-term price action over the last 30 trading days. For each day, the open is compared to the close: if the close is higher, the day is marked green; otherwise red. A sustained majority of green days suggests an uptrend that may persist in the short to medium term.

Momentum measures the current market dynamics of a cryptocurrency. The value is based on technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), the Fear & Greed Index, and the short-term price trend over the past 30 days. Positive values indicate upward momentum, negative values indicate downward momentum. This indicator is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI, last 14 days) is a popular financial indicator ranging from 0 to 100. It signals whether an asset is overvalued or overbought (above 70) or undervalued or oversold (below 30). Values between 30 and 70 indicate that the asset is fairly or neutrally valued. A low RSI below 30 can signal a potential buying opportunity due to undervaluation. RSI and other indicators should never be used as the sole basis for investment decisions.

Our sentiment score analyzes the most important crypto news from the past days across leading industry outlets. Each story is evaluated on two dimensions: its relevance to the asset and its tone (positive, neutral, or negative). Highly impactful items carry more weight in the overall score. The sentiment score updates continuously, automatically adjusting with every new headline.

Average annual price performance indicates how much the price of a cryptocurrency has changed per year on average since it started trading. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. This information is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

The maximum number of cryptocurrencies that can ever be issued. This value is usually irrevocably defined and embedded in the protocol code of a blockchain.

Inflation in cryptocurrencies refers to the increase in the total circulating supply of coins or tokens. A high annual inflation rate can have a negative impact because it dilutes the value of existing units. With each newly created coin or token, the relative share—and potentially the value—of existing coins or tokens decreases. Important: Cryptocurrency inflation differs from traditional fiat inflation, which primarily describes the loss of purchasing power of money over time.

Total Value Locked (TVL) is an important metric in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) that represents the total value of assets locked in a blockchain or DeFi protocol, such as smart contracts and tokens (staking). TVL is commonly used to evaluate blockchain networks. Data source: defillama.com

The ratio of market capitalization to TVL (Total Value Locked: the sum of assets “locked” in the blockchain, e.g. smart contracts and tokens). This ratio compares the public market valuation with actual usage (assets locked in the blockchain) and can indicate over- or undervaluation of a blockchain and its cryptocurrency. The lower this ratio, the better.

This metric shows how many on-chain transactions occurred in the last 24 hours. It helps assess the short-term activity and usage of a crypto network.

Active addresses (24h) are the number of unique addresses that sent or received a transaction in a rolling 24-hour window, counted once per address. It’s a useful proxy for network activity and engagement, but addresses ≠ users (one person or an exchange can control many).

The overall rating is calculated as the average of our individual scores. Our ratings do not constitute investment advice but merely reflect our personal opinion. You are welcome to use them as rough indicators and additional perspectives. In the dynamic and rapidly evolving crypto space, parameters can change frequently from one day to the next; therefore, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the rating data.

The sector indicates which category a cryptocurrency belongs to, such as currency, stablecoins, smart contracts, or memecoins. This makes it easier to compare cryptocurrencies with a similar use case.

The key feature describes the core use case or main advantage of a cryptocurrency and highlights what sets it apart from others.

A whitepaper is a typically detailed document written by developers to define and describe the technology (e.g., algorithms) and goals of a cryptocurrency and its network. Whitepapers are often complex to read and contain many mathematical formulas, statistics, and diagrams.

The blockchain is the underlying network a cryptocurrency runs on. This column indicates which blockchain a project uses, for example the Ethereum blockchain.

The consensus algorithm is the set of rules that determines how all participants in a blockchain network agree on a shared state. It ensures that everyone in the network recognizes the same transaction history, for example who owns which coins or which transactions have taken place.

Staking means locking up cryptocurrency in a network for a set period to help validate transactions. In return, participants earn staking rewards, typically expressed as an annual percentage yield (APY). Staking is a feature of blockchains that use a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.

Most cryptocurrencies are open source. This means that the codebase of the network is publicly accessible, typically on GitHub. Anyone can contribute to the project, propose changes, or flag bugs and security vulnerabilities.

Energy consumption indicates how much energy a cryptocurrency requires per transaction and serves as an indicator of how sustainable its underlying consensus algorithm is. Since exact figures are difficult to determine, we classify energy consumption broadly as low, medium, or high.

Transactions per second (TPS) describes the number of transactions a blockchain network can process within one second. The metric is commonly used to assess the scalability of a cryptocurrency. However, published figures are often based on test environments and may differ significantly in real-world conditions.
