Frequently asked questions

What are payments cryptocurrencies?+

They are payment-oriented cryptocurrencies: speed and low cost per transaction as the core design priority. It's a grouping for browsing this catalog, not an official classification — some projects could fit in more than one category.

How risky is this category?+

High, like all crypto: volatility far above the stock market, no guarantee-fund protection, plus regulatory and technological risk. The basic rule: only money you can afford to lose entirely.

Where do the prices on this page come from?+

Live from the public CoinGecko API, refreshed while you browse. We never store or invent prices: if the API is unavailable, the price shows as "—" rather than a stale or made-up number.
