About this page
There are many different types of cryptocurrency, and grouping them by what they do makes the market easier to read. This page sorts coins into sectors: Layer 1 networks, Layer 2 rollups, stablecoins, exchange tokens, DeFi, real-world assets (RWA), AI, oracles, DePIN, gaming, privacy coins and memecoins. Each sector card shows its market cap, 24-hour and 7-day change, trading volume and number of coins.
The table ranks every category by market cap, and the tabs re-sort the cards by trend, top gainers, top losers or volume. Open a sector to see the coins inside it. Sectors overlap: one coin can belong to several, as Chainlink sits in both DeFi and oracles, so the sector market caps add up to more than the whole market.
Sector market caps come from CoinGecko categories and refresh every hour. The history behind each chart is built from the prices of the sector's coins, sourced from DefiLlama, and the list of coins in each sector is rebuilt every 10 days. Small sectors such as gaming or AI can move far more in a day than the market as a whole.
Questions
Short answers to what people ask most.
World-Crypt sorts coins into 12 sectors: Layer 1, Layer 2, stablecoins, exchange tokens, DeFi, RWA, AI, oracles, DePIN, gaming, privacy and memecoins.
Privacy leads over the past 24 hours with a +3.4% move. The Top Gainers tab ranks every sector by its daily change.
RWA stands for real-world assets: tokens that represent things held off-chain, such as Treasury bills, loans or real estate. The RWA sector groups those tokens by market cap.
DePIN means decentralized physical infrastructure networks. Their tokens reward people who supply hardware such as storage, computing power or wireless coverage; Filecoin and Render are examples.
Privacy coins hide some or all transaction details, such as the sender, the receiver or the amount. Zcash and Monero are the best-known coins in the Privacy sector.
From CoinGecko categories, refreshed every hour. The chart history is built from DefiLlama prices of each sector's coins.
