What Siacoin coordinates
Siacoin (SC) is an AI / DePIN infrastructure token, currently ranked 314th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Siacoin sits in the AI/DePIN category, where tokens incentivize a real-world or compute resource network. Providers earn SC for contributing capacity, and demand for that capacity is the fundamental to watch.
Siacoin (SC) is the native cryptocurrency of the Sia decentralized storage platform, allowing users to rent out their unused hard drive space to others on the network. It aims to provide a secure, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to traditional cloud storage services.
How the network bootstraps supply and demand
The durable version of Siacoin is one where actual usage — inference, storage, connectivity — generates revenue that exceeds the incentives paid out. Until then, much of the demand for the token is subsidy-driven.
Under the hood, SC secures its ledger with Proof of Work, built on the Blake2b algorithm.
Background & fundamentals
Siacoin first went live in 2015, giving it roughly 11 years of on-chain price history to draw on. Siacoin operates under a centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. Siacoin lists a documented core team of 5, so the people behind the project are at least named on the record.
Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust. The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in SC. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "Working product".
In sector terms it is most often filed under Platform, Smart Contracts, and Proof Of Work.
Where Siacoin sits in the market
With SC near $0.00063300, Siacoin carries a market capitalization of $35.49M. Around $5.37M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 15.12% of the float — elevated, often a sign of narrative-driven trading.
Siacoin carries no fixed maximum supply; issuance follows a programmatic schedule rather than a hard cap. SC remains -92% beneath its all-time high of $0.00832563, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close.
What the price history shows
Recent moves read 24-hour -1.57%, 7-day -5.82%, 30-day -3.62%, 1-year -73.71%. SC is currently trading near the bottom of its 365-day range (around the 0th percentile of recent closes).
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Siacoin in the Moderate-volatility band — it shows the kind of price movement common in mid-cap crypto assets — meaningful but not unusual. Over the last 30 days the move totals -3.62%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate an AI/DePIN token like Siacoin
A grounded read on SC comes down to three questions:
- Real demand — paying usage of the network's resource, not just provider rewards funded by SC emissions.
- Supply growth — how much real-world or compute capacity the network has actually brought online.
- Token economics — whether SC demand can outgrow the incentives the protocol pays to bootstrap it.
