Coin verdict · Layer 1 / smart-contract · Updated 2026-04-26
Waves is a Layer 1 launched in 2016 with leased proof-of-stake consensus. The protocol experienced significant turbulence around the Neutrino USD (USDN) algorithmic stablecoin de-peg in 2022, which exposed structural circular-dependency between WAVES and USDN. Liquidity has been impaired on multiple regulated venues, and Vires.Finance lending exposure raised additional questions. Per our framework, the WAVES-USDN circular structure and ongoing venue restrictions push WAVES into the excluded category.
