04 · exact additive research priority
What does the evidence say about Core?
Core is not rated this week, so it carries no score and no rank inside Layer 1. The four displayed point contributions add exactly to the total; missing evidence pulls only the affected factor toward neutral and lowers its stated coverage. It ranks research attention within one theme, never portfolio action, and it is not comparable across themes.
Not rated this week, and why
No traded volume is reported on most of the last 30 days, so it has no liquidity reading.
Its price history is still shown above in full. A missing reading is not a middling reading, so no score is invented for it and it takes no rank inside Layer 1.
No valuation section exists on this page, for any coin. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a token, and historical market capitalisation is not held at all, only a dated current snapshot, so no ten-year valuation band can be built honestly. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, the yield against that dated snapshot is shown above instead.
05 · the theme it competes in
How does Core compare with other Layer 1 coins?
Core is one of 73 Layer 1 coins here, 64 of which carry enough evidence to be rated and ranked. Core is not among them this week, for the reason stated above. The table below is the theme's own scorecard, in its own order, with this coin marked.

Which crypto lists is Core on?
Core is on one of our crypto lists: Altcoins (Layer 1 coins). Every coin we track is in the full ranking on Cryptocurrencies by market cap. List membership comes from CoinGecko's categories and market-cap rank, never from a hand-picked list.

Which coins are closest to Core in market cap?
Core is number 484 by market cap among the 604 coins with a page on this site. The 4 just larger and the 4 just smaller are listed here, each with its theme, so the comparison crosses themes. Market cap is the snapshot dated 2026-11-04.

What is Core?
Core is a crypto token that CoinGecko lists under smart contract platform, layer 1 (L1) and bitcoin sidechains. We place it in the Layer 1 theme, with 73 coins. Its highest daily close since 10 February 2023 was $3.78 on 1 April 2024; its lowest was $0.01549 on 29 October 2026.
What is the market cap of Core?
Core's market capitalisation is $17.8M, ranking it 905 in the top-1,000 crypto universe, read on 4 November 2026. It is refreshed separately from the daily price.
Is Core beating Bitcoin?
Over 90 days Core is 45.6 percentage points behind Bitcoin: its own return minus Bitcoin's. Its theme, Layer 1, is -1.3% against Bitcoin over 13 weeks. Core trades below its 200-day average as of 4 November 2026.
What is Core's highest price?
The highest daily close we hold for Core is $3.78, on 1 April 2024, in records from 10 February 2023. The lowest is $0.01549, on 29 October 2026. The close on 4 November 2026, $0.01256, is 100% below that high.
Does Core have a P/E ratio?
No. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a crypto token, and no valuation band is shown on this page because the data to build one honestly does not exist: historical market capitalisation is not held, only a current snapshot. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, this page shows the yield against that dated snapshot instead.
Why is Core not rated?
No traded volume is reported on most of the last 30 days, so it has no liquidity reading. It stays on the site with its price history visible, because a missing reading is not a middling reading and a made-up score would be worse than none.
How much Core history does this page show?
Five years of weekly closes where they exist, plus 20 complete calendar quarters of on-chain activity for the metrics Core actually publishes. Here that is total value locked.
How much did Core earn in the last 30 days?
In the 30 days to 30 October 2026, DefiLlama shows $78 of fees and $78 of protocol revenue for Core. Over 90 days: $562 of fees and $562 of revenue. Fees are what users paid; revenue is the part the protocol keeps.
Does Core generate total value locked?
Core's latest quarter total value locked is $2.9M, down 62% on the year-earlier period. Network activity is not token-holder earnings: whether it accrues to the token depends on the protocol's own burn, buyback and distribution rules.
