About proof of work coins
Proof-of-work coins secure their networks through mining: real-world computing power and energy compete to add each block, making the chain expensive to attack. Bitcoin is the archetype, joined by Litecoin, Dogecoin, Monero and newer entrants like Kaspa. The group is defined by its security model and the hardware economy of miners that stands behind it.
The table above ranks the proof of work coins we track by market capitalisation, so the sector’s biggest names sit at the top. Prices, 24-hour movement and volume are pulled live and are indicative only — always confirm on your exchange before trading, and treat the more speculative corners of this sector as high-risk.

How many proof of work coins are listed here?
This hub tracks 7 of the most established proof of work coins, ranked by market capitalisation with live prices. We focus on the largest and most liquid names rather than every micro-cap token in the sector.
How are the proof of work coins ranked?
By market capitalisation — price multiplied by circulating supply — which is the standard way to gauge a coin’s relative size. You can re-sort the table by price, 24-hour change or volume, and use the Gainers and Losers tabs to surface the biggest daily moves.
Are these prices live and how often do they update?
Yes. The table is server-rendered on each request and cached briefly to respect data-source rate limits, so figures refresh within about a minute. Reload the page for the latest snapshot.
