Start with the coin you actually own
Not the market. Not the top ten. The one you hold.
Our grade on it is published, it is free, and it takes about fifteen seconds to find. Every asset we rate has its own page:
Change the last part of that address to the asset you own, and you will get our grade, our score out of 100, and a one line read on what our research found. You do not need an account for any of that, and the number you see is the same number everyone else sees.
Go and look. This piece is about what happens next.
The grade you just looked up has a date on it
Here is what changed between the snapshot we pulled on September 16, 2026 and the one we pulled on September 17, 2026. Both cover all 203 assets we rate.
47 of the 203 moved score.
44 of those 47 moved by a full point or more.
Three changed letter grade.
Three out of 203 sounds small until one of the three is yours.
The three that changed, and why two of them are counterintuitive
Written out one per line, with both mornings, quoted exactly as our system returned them.
Arweave (AR). September 16: score 60.8, grade B, tier T2, Sound, rank 8. September 17: score 56, grade C, tier T3, rank 11.
Hedera (HBAR). September 16: score 39, grade F, tier Excluded, no rank. September 17: score 45.6, grade C, tier T3, rank 33.
Jupiter (JUP). September 16: score 46.8, grade C, tier T3, rank 31. September 17: score 48.4, grade F, tier Excluded, and the ranked list we pulled carries no rank for it.
Read the last two again.
Hedera's score went up 6.6 points and its grade went from F to C. That one moves the way you would expect, just faster than you would expect.
Jupiter's score went up 1.6 points and its grade went from C to F. The number improved and the grade got worse.
That is not a mistake in our data and it is not a typo in this post. In our framework a letter is not a summary of the number. An F is a failed hard gate, a pass or fail test that sits on top of the score and overrides it. An asset can score better than it did the day before and still fail one of those tests. We published a longer explanation of exactly this, and it is worth reading if the distinction is new to you.
The practical consequence is short: watching the price of an asset will not tell you when our grade on it changes, and neither will watching our score. Jupiter is the proof. You would have had to look at the letter itself, on the right morning.
Nobody checks a website every morning
We are not going to pretend otherwise. You have a life. You looked up a grade once, you remembered roughly what it was, and that memory is now an undated fact about a morning you cannot identify.
The honest options for a person who owns two or three assets are:
Check every asset you own, every morning, forever. Nobody does this.
Check occasionally, and find out about a change some unknown number of days late.
Be told.
We built the third one.
Alerts, and what it costs
Alerts is live, it is free, and it needs a free CryptoGrade account.
You pick the assets you care about. When our published rating on one of them changes, you are told, without going back to check. You can also subscribe or unsubscribe from the individual asset's own page, so you can set it for one asset in the same visit where you looked up its grade.
There is no paid tier involved in this. There is no trial that expires. The account is free, the feature is free, and the reason we want you to have one is that a rating you are told about is worth something and a rating you have forgotten to re-check is not.
What else the account is for
The grade, the score, the rank and the one line read are open to everybody. The assessment underneath them, which is where our reasoning actually lives, is what the free account opens.
Here is what that looks like in practice, using the asset that moved furthest our way this morning.
Aave (AAVE), September 17, 2026: score 73.6, grade B, tier T2, Sound, rank 3, and a published score change of +5.6 dated September 17, 2026. On our September 16 snapshot it was 68, at rank 5.
Our published one line read on Aave, quoted exactly:
"Aave remains a large, established lending protocol with solid token supply discipline and durable market position."
And in summary, this is what our research record says is holding that score where it is: a hard capped maximum supply of 16.0 million tokens with 15.43 million already circulating, which leaves modest dilution ahead; a long lived lending protocol deployed across many chains, which supports real usage; and, working against it, gaps in the supplied evidence on live protocol metrics that keep several of our judgments conservative rather than maximal.
Three steps,
Look up the asset you own, such as https://cryptograde.ai/tokens/bitcoin , and read the grade and the one line read.
Create the free account at https://cryptograde.ai/alerts and pick that asset.
Go back to your life. If our rating on it changes, you will hear from us.
