Nockchain
NOCKLive since 21 May 2025, about 16 months. Machine-drafted, not yet checked by a person.
Nockchain is a computer network built for sending and holding digital money. Of the 30 things it promised, it delivered 20, 10 are still open; the next dated step is Q4 2026. It trades at $0.0388, #294 of all coins by size, 82% below its highest ever price.
This week Nothing changed on its record.
A real job, real backing. Delivered 20 of 30, none late. Next step in 107 days. #3 of 19 privacy coins. Nothing to be careful of on the record.

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Privacy Coins ($7.04M). To match the leader, Decred ($292.12M), its price would need to rise 225%, to about $0.126.
Still to check
- Listed on fewer than two big exchanges (Kraken)
- No named investor among its tags
- Only 9 headlines named it last month
- Years younger than the group's leader
What to do Add it to My coins and come back on Q4 2026, when it says it will deliver: The project committed to adding withdrawal support to its bridge. That step adds use of the coin, which is what a bigger market cap has to come from. If it lands, the record moves; if it slips, so does the case.
A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.
Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.
Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

Privacy Coins: this coin next to Decred, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.
- Nockchain says
- Nockchain is a computer network built for sending and holding digital money.
- Decred says
- Decred is a cryptocurrency where coin holders vote on network changes and treasury spending, and development is paid for from the network's own treasury.
Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.
Nockchain is a computer network built for sending and holding digital money.
Its listing puts it this way: Nockchain is the first L1 blockchain powered by Zero-Knowledge Proof of Work (ZKPoW). Nodes secure the chain and produce blocks by mining zero-knowledge proofs in a PoW competition.
Problem it says it solves: payments. 41 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $1,745,498,830,279.
Where it trades: Kraken, Aerodrome, LBank, MEXC, Uniswap V3
Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.
Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.
What should make me careful?

None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.
