Peercoin (PPC) trades at $0.223214, down 0.2% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $6.8M, the 1390-largest in crypto. Over a year it is -26% (down), and it sits -98% from its all-time high. On tradability, the book is thin, so incoming money moves the price easily. Taken together, the overall heat score is 14 (COLD). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Overview What is Peercoin
The Peercoin network activated in 2012 and is one of the first cryptocurrencies to ever be released. It is responsible for inventing proof-of-stake consensus, which makes it the first efficient and sustainable public blockchain technology. Peercoin was inspired by bitcoin, and it shares much of the source code and technical implementation of bitcoin. The Peercoin source code is distributed under the MIT/X11 software license. Unlike bitcoin, Namecoin, and Litecoin, Peercoin does not have a hard limit on the number of possible coins, but is designed to eventually attain an annual inflation rate of 1%. There is a deflationary aspect to Peercoin as the transaction fee of 0.01 PPC/kb paid to the network is destroyed. This feature, along with increased energy efficiency, aim to allow for greater long-term scalability.
With the same cryptographic hash function as Bitcoin (SHA-256), Peercoin is 100 times more energy efficient. Transactions in the Peercoin network are faster and cheaper. If there were not fierce competition on the cryptocurrency market, Peercoin would probably have long since become one of the most important cryptocurrencies. But in 2014 and 2015, however, there were many other interesting innovations in the cryptocurrency market that outperformed peercoin in a number of important properties. In contrast to DASH, Peercoin could not offer anonymity and the transactions in Dogecoin were even faster and cheaper than those of Peercoin. PoS technology ceased to be an advantage of peercoin and PoS continued to spread to other cryptocurrencies. The interest of the users drew it to the side of the minings on the CPUs and GPUs, then to the side of the Smart Contracts and PPC began to get a little forgotten.
The Peercoin Team believes that adapting blockchains for wide scale use only through on-chain transactions will negatively affect the decentralization level and security of the network over time, therefore we choose to develop the Peercoin blockchain as a base layer settlement network with a sole focus on securing all forms of value recorded into the chain. This can be accomplished through Peercoin's philosophy of preserving and maximizing decentralization (which increases security) by developing the majority of features and technologies on top of the blockchain, rather than directly into the blockchain protocol itself.
Thus the Peercoin Team focuses on developing second layer protocols and sub-networks that can interact with the base layer blockchain to adapt it for wide scale use and improve functionality such as tokens, smart contracts and high speed low cost transaction processing. In this way, Peercoin will act as a secure and censorship resistant base layer for the future blockchain connected world.

Signals Catalysts currently in play (auto-extracted)
💤
Turnover is slow
24-hour volume equals 0.0% of market cap. Trading is quiet, so price moves are likely to stay contained.
🏔️
Far below its all-time high
Trading -98% from its all-time high. Recovering that ground would take a substantial return of demand — and a discount this large usually has a reason worth checking.

Public repository is quiet
No public commits in the past four weeks (development may be happening in private). Worth confirming the project's continuity separately.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
14
Heat scoreCOLDOverall heat score
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 34 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 14. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate)gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
51
→ The trend is flat — no clear direction yet.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
5
→ Almost nothing is trading. There is no assurance you could enter or exit at the price shown.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
50
→ TVL is unremarkable relative to market cap.
Supply lightness
100
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → No public code updates in the last four weeks. Development may have stalled, or it may be happening in private repositories.
