What Telcoin is
Telcoin (TEL) is a Layer-1 smart-contract platform, currently ranked 122nd by market capitalization among the assets we track. As a proof-of-stake Layer-1, Telcoin hosts applications, settles their transactions, and lets TEL holders earn yield by helping validate. Capital at stake — not electricity — is what keeps the chain honest.
Telcoin (TEL) is a cryptocurrency designed to facilitate seamless and low-cost remittances and mobile money transfers globally, leveraging existing telecommunications infrastructure. It aims to enhance financial accessibility for users, particularly in underbanked regions.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Staking ties the token's value to network security: more TEL bonded means a costlier attack, and stakers are paid for taking that role. Unstaking queues and slashing parameters shape how liquid that capital really is.
TEL is not mined; it is issued as a token rather than secured by its own mining or staking layer.
Background & fundamentals
Telcoin first went live in 2017, giving it roughly 9 years of on-chain price history to draw on. Telcoin operates under a semi-centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. A documented core team of 19 contributors is listed publicly, a depth of disclosed staffing many long-tail tokens lack.
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 TEL. In sector terms it is most often filed under Communication, Ethereum (ETH) Token (ERC-20), and Made in USA.
Where Telcoin sits in the market
At $0.00224800, Telcoin carries a market capitalization of $204.58M. Around $520.82K changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 0.25% of the float — on the quieter side, which can mean thinner liquidity for large orders.
Almost the entire TEL supply is already in circulation (~100.0% of the 100B cap), so future dilution is effectively off the table. TEL remains -97% beneath its all-time high of $0.0647, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close. Measured from its all-time low of $0.00012310, TEL is up +1,726%.
What the price history shows
Across timeframes, TEL shows 24-hour -3.07%, 7-day -8.81%, 30-day +24.82%, 1-year -39.28%. Across roughly the last 131 days of daily candles, TEL endured a peak-to-trough drawdown of about 49% before stabilizing.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Telcoin 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 +24.82%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate Telcoin
A grounded read on TEL comes down to three questions:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of TEL staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Telcoin over competing Layer-1s.
