The VALT Score ®
The VALT Score is a weighted cryptocurrency fundamentals scorecard developed by the CRYPTO 100 ® Index. It aims to evaluate the fundamental strength and reliability of cryptoassets, considering aspects such as crypto adoption, the inherent crypto volatility present in crypto markets, crypto liquidity and tokenomics of coins.
This approach transcends market capitalisation, which mainly reflects size.
The VALT Score assesses whether a cryptoasset deserves inclusion in the CRYPTO 100 ® Index across four key dimensions.
Cryptoassets are high risk and unregulated in the UK; their value can fluctuate significantly, and you may lose all your capital. This information is for educational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice.
The name stands for the four components that contribute to the score:
Component Weight
V Volatility 50%
A Adoption 30%
L Liquidity 15%
T Tokenomics 5%
Each component is scored from 0 to 100 using percentile ranking within the eligible universe — a score of 80 means the asset ranks better than 80% of its peers on that dimension. The four scores are then combined into a single VALT Score using the specified weights.
The VALT Score is not intended to rank assets by price performance or growth potential; rather, it serves as a measure of structural quality — evaluating how stable, accessible, established, and well-designed an asset is relative to its peers. An asset with a high VALT Score is one that a serious, rule based index can hold with confidence.
The VALT Score is then multiplied by the asset's market capitalisation to produce a Quality Adjusted Size — the figure used to rank assets and determine their weight in the index.
This means the CRYPTO 100 ® Index fundamentally operates as a market cap weighted index, with a quality filter applied: larger assets with poor fundamentals are scaled down, while smaller assets with strong fundamentals, as determined through tokenomics analysis, can rank higher than their raw market cap might suggest.
CRYPTO 100 ® Index is designed as a more selective and credible benchmark for today’s digital asset market. By blending scale with quality, it delivers a clearer and more risk aware perspective than traditional market cap only crypto indexes.
The VALT ecosystem provides a rigorous, data driven framework designed to bring clarity, stability, and intelligence to the cryptocurrency market. By prioritising fundamentals over hype, we provide the insights necessary to navigate the digital asset landscape with confidence.
The VALT Score & Index Framework
At the heart of our ecosystem lies the VALT framework - a methodology that evaluates digital assets based on four critical health markers:
Volatility: Measures price stability and market risk.
Adoption: Evaluates user growth, active usage, and overall network strength.
Liquidity: Assesses trading depth and market efficiency.
Tokenomics: Reviews token sustainability, economic design, and supply mechanics.
By applying this lens, our CRYPTO 100 index identifies high quality, fundamentally stronger assets while excluding speculative, hype driven projects.

📊 VALT Score
Objective Intelligence
The VALT Score is our flagship rating system. It provides investors and platforms with a comprehensive, transparent assessment of an asset’s viability. By focusing on diversification by design, we help users reduce risk through balanced exposure to the leading cryptocurrency assets.
Our Core CRYPTO 100 Philosophy: Diversified by Design
Our approach is built to minimise risk and maximise analytical rigour. By focusing on a curated list of leading assets, we provide a structured way to participate in the crypto market, ensuring that investment decisions are supported by real time updates and structured data analysis.
The VALT10 represents the top performing cryptoassets within the CRYPTO 100 ®, selected based on their overall VALT scores. These are the assets that rank highest across our proprietary framework, reflecting a combination of strength, resilience, and long-term potential within the digital asset market.
VALT is our proprietary scoring methodology designed to evaluate cryptoassets using a structured, data-driven approach. It incorporates key factors such as Volatility, Adoption, Liquidity and Tokenomics including market capitalisation to produce a single, comparable score. This allows us to consistently assess and rank assets based on both current performance and forward-looking potential, rather than short term market movements alone.
Each asset in the VALT10 is equally weighted at 10%, ensuring a balanced and diversified view of the highest ranked segment of the market. This equal weighting removes bias toward any single asset and provides a clearer representation of collective performance at the top tier.
By combining multiple performance indicators into one unified score, the VALT10 highlights the projects that consistently demonstrate leadership and relevance in a rapidly evolving ecosystem. For investors and market observers, it offers a focused benchmark of quality—cutting through noise to surface the assets that stand out based on disciplined analysis.
The VALT10 can also be compared against the broader CRYPTO 100 ® Index and Bitcoin, providing additional context on relative performance.
This allows users to assess whether top ranked assets are outperforming the wider market or the leading benchmark asset in crypto.

Complementing the VALT10, the VALT10VC (Venture Capital) highlights a distinct group of cryptoassets identified through their VALT scoring profile as potential emerging opportunities.
Rather than focusing on established leaders, the VALT10VC captures assets that may be earlier in their growth cycle or undergoing positive shifts in fundamentals. These projects can reflect changing momentum, innovation, or improving adoption trends that are not yet fully recognised by the broader market.
The VALT10VC provides a forward looking perspective, helping users identify where new value may be forming within the crypto landscape. It is designed to surface signals, not noise - offering insight into assets that could evolve into future contenders within the CRYPTO 100.
Together, the VALT10 and VALT10VC deliver a more complete view of the market: one anchored in proven performance, the other focused on emerging potential.
CRYPTO 100 ® introduces a new generation of precision crypto indexes built on the proprietary VALT scoring framework. Unlike traditional crypto indices that rely heavily on market capitalisation, VALT indexes are engineered to measure the underlying quality of digital assets—offering a more intelligent, structured, and forward looking view of the market.
Why VALT10 Indexes Are Different
Most crypto indexes simply track size. That approach often overweights hype driven assets and ignores critical fundamentals.
VALT10 indexes are different because they:
- Focus on quality, not just market cap
- Break down performance into distinct, measurable factors
- Identify strengths that drive long-term sustainability
- Reduce noise from speculative price movements
- Provide targeted exposure to specific asset characteristics
Instead of asking “what is biggest?”, VALT asks “what is strongest—and why?”
VALT10V – Top 10 Volatility Leaders Index. The first crypto index powered by fundamental volatility momentum.
The index is the first to construct its portfolio on how volatility is changing for each asset, using risk metrics. Assets with stable or declining volatility momentum are favored compared to those with rapidly increasing volatility, depending on the index’s risk rules.
The VALT10V Index tracks the top 10 crypto assets with the highest Volatility Scores within the CRYPTO 100 universe. A higher score reflects lower volatility, identifying assets that demonstrate consistent and stable price behaviour.
Why it stands out:
- Filters out highly erratic assets common in market cap indices
- Highlights “defensive crypto” for more balanced exposure
- Useful for portfolio stabilisation and risk management
Real example:
During a broad market sell off, many smaller or speculative tokens may drop 20–40% in a short period. Assets within VALT10V typically experience more controlled declines, for example moving 5–10%, making them more suitable for investors looking to reduce portfolio swings.
VALT10A – Top 10 Adoption Leaders Index. The first crypto index powered by fundamentals adoption momentum. Real on chain dara - as the core driving for selecting and weighting cryptoassets.
In practice digital assets with strong accelerating adoption (more users, more transactions, more fees, more activity) get highers weights,while those with slow adoption rates are underweight or excluded.
The VALT10A Index ranks the top 10 crypto assets with the highest Adoption Scores, focusing on real world usage and network growth rather than speculation.
Why it stands out:
- Prioritises actual usage over narrative driven valuation
- Surfaces projects with expanding ecosystems and traction
- Aligns closely with long term value creation
Real example:
A blockchain with increasing daily active users, rising transaction volumes, and growing integration into payment apps or DeFi platforms would rank highly in VALT10A - even if its price has not recently surged - because real adoption is increasing behind the scenes.
VALT10L – Top 10 Liquidity Leaders Index. The first crypto index powered by fundamental liquidity momentum. This index is the first to construct its portfolio based on how liquidity is changing in the asset, using liquidity metrics. Assets with strong, strong improving liquidity momentum are given higher weights, while those with declining liquidity area underweight or excluded.
The VALT10L Index tracks the top 10 crypto assets with the strongest Liquidity Scores, measuring how efficiently assets can be traded across markets.
Why it stands out:
- Goes beyond volume to assess true market depth and quality
- Reduces exposure to illiquid or easily manipulated assets
- Critical for institutional-grade trading and scalability
Real example:
An investor placing a £500,000 buy order in a high-liquidity asset from VALT10L can execute the trade with minimal price impact. In contrast, a low-liquidity token might see the price spike significantly during the same trade due to shallow order books.
VALT10T – Top 10 Tokenomics Leaders Index. The first crypto index powered by fundamental tokenomics momentum. This index is the first to construct its portfolio based on how a token’s economic structure are changing over time, using tokenomics data as the key primary signal. Assets whoses tokenomics are improving in a sustainable direction are given higher weights while those with deteriorating tokenomic trends are underweight or excluded.
The VALT10T Index ranks the top 10 crypto assets with the highest Tokenomics Scores, evaluating the structural integrity of each asset’s economic design.
Why it stands out:
- Highlights sustainability over short-term incentives
- Identifies strong supply control and incentive alignment
- Filters out poorly designed or inflation-heavy models
Real example:
A project with a fixed or decreasing supply, transparent issuance schedule, and well balanced staking rewards is more likely to maintain long term value. In contrast, a token with aggressive inflation and unclear distribution may struggle to sustain price over time, even if demand temporarily rises.
A Smarter Way to Track Crypto
Together, the VALT10 indexes redefine how the crypto market can be measured. By isolating key dimensions— low volatility (stability), adoption, liquidity, and tokenomics - they provide a clearer, more actionable view than traditional indices.
This is not just another way to track crypto.
It is a better way to understand it.
These principles define our CRYPTO 100 ® Index, VALT10 Indexes and every decision behind the methodology.
