Skycoin (SKY) trades at $0.0150087, down 78.4% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $360,709, the 3982-largest in crypto. Over 200 days it is -73% (down), and it sits -100% 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 0 (COLD). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Overview What is Skycoin

The Skycoin Platform is the most advanced blockchain platform in the world. Developed by early contributors to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, Skycoin’s platform is completely secure, infinitely scalable, and ISP independent. It uses its own specific distributed consensus algorithm, called Obelisk, instead of other commonly used algorithms like proof of work (POW) and proof of stake (POS). Obelisk uses the concept of ‘web of trust dynamics’ which distributes influence over the network and makes consensus decisions depending upon the influence score of each node. Each node subscribes to a select number of other network nodes, and the density of a node’s network of subscribers determines its influence on the network.

Skycoin is very fast. With transaction speeds close to 2 seconds and no transaction fees it can rival any other cryptocurrency on the market as a payment method. The transaction costs of Skycoin are covered by Coin Hours. This is value paid to Skycoin holders for each hour they hold a Skycoin. Skycoin is against charging transaction costs and mining incentives as it only drives up the costs of the network. The biggest benefit of Skycoin is that it is energy efficient due to the Web-of-Trust social proof. It can even run on a 30-watt cell phone processor making it great for mobile payments. Centralization becomes less of an issue when anyone can participate in the blockchain. Sia stores tiny pieces of your files on dozens of nodes across the globe. This eliminates any single point of failure and ensures highest possible uptime, on par with other cloud storage providers.

A major goal of Skycoin is to promote actual usage of cryptocurrency rather than speculation. Skywire, the flagship application of Skycoin, has the ambitious goal of decentralizing the internet at the hardware level and is about to begin the testnet in April. However, this is just one of the many facets of the Skycoin ecosystem. Skywire will not only provide decentralized bandwidth but also storage and computation, completing the holy trinity of commodities essential for the new internet.

Skycoin also has its own ICO platform called Fiber, their own deterministic programming language, CX, derived from Golang, a private decentralized messenger system called Sky-Messenger, and a decentralized social media platform, BBS.

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 -100% 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.

If the entire supply were circulating
Fully diluted valuation is about 4.2x the current market cap. Releasing everything still locked would expand supply sharply, so structural dilution pressure is high.

How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 1 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 0. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
