What is the QRL rich list?

A rich list ranks blockchain addresses by how much of the native coin they hold. This page lists the largest QRL wallets from the biggest balance down, so you can see at a glance which wallets control the biggest share of the supply.

Who holds the most QRL?

The address at rank 1 holds the largest balance in the list. Each balance is calculated as everything an address has received minus everything it has sent across its entire history, so the ranking reflects real settled holdings rather than an estimate.

How is the rich list ranked?

By current balance — total received minus total sent — in whole coins (Quanta). The largest balance is always first. Very small balances are shown in the base unit (shor) so a real holding is never rounded to zero.

Why do some wallets show XMSS and others ML-DSA?

QRL is post-quantum: every wallet proves ownership with a signature that resists quantum attacks. The original wallets use XMSS (hash-based), and the newer wallets use ML-DSA-87 (lattice-based). They hold the same coin and rank on the same list — the tag just shows which scheme a wallet uses. Use the All / XMSS / ML-DSA filter to narrow to one type.

Are the top addresses exchanges or individual holders?

Often neither in the way you'd expect. A single address can be a custodial exchange wallet holding funds for thousands of users, and one person or entity may control many addresses. A rich list ranks addresses, not owners — treat large balances as wallets, not individuals.

How often is the rich list updated, and is it accurate?

Rankings are recomputed from on-chain balances roughly every five minutes. Because positions only shift when large transfers settle, a few minutes of caching doesn't affect accuracy — the figures are derived directly from indexed chain data, not estimated.

QRL Rich List

The QRL rich list ranks the biggest holders by on-chain balance, largest first. Each wallet shows its balance in Quanta, share of supply, 30-day net flow, transaction count and first-seen date. Wallets are tagged by their post-quantum signature type — today that's XMSS; newer ML-DSA wallets join later.

Reading the rich list table

What each column means — address, balance, share of supply, recent flow and age.

Show the full column guide

Rank (#): Position in the leaderboard by balance, largest first.
Address: Every address gets a generated icon and an italic nickname (e.g. “Sparkly Kappa tk856”) to make it easier to recognise — these are made up, not real identities. Labelled addresses (exchange, foundation, validator) instead show a curated name tag with a check mark (✓) and a category colour, so a human-added identity stands out from the generated ones. The full address shows on hover and is one click to copy.
Scheme: The wallet's post-quantum signature type: XMSS (wallets on the original Proof-of-Work chain) or ML-DSA (the newer QRL 2.0 wallets). Use the All / XMSS / ML-DSA filter above the table to show one type at a time, or hover the ? on the column header for the full explainer.
Balance: What the address holds right now: everything it has received minus everything sent, shown in whole coins (Quanta). Very small balances are shown in the base unit (shor) so they are never rounded down to zero.
% supply: The balance as a share of the QRL circulating supply — a direct read on how concentrated the coin is.
30d net: Net flow over the last thirty days (received minus sent). Green = accumulated, red = distributed, flat= no net movement. This figure isn't available for every wallet yet — where it's missing the cell reads “—”.
Txs: Number of transactions the address appears in, incoming and outgoing combined. A high count with a large balance often marks an exchange.
First seen: The date the address first received funds — useful for telling long-standing wallets from recently funded ones.
How the list is built: Balances come straight from indexed on-chain data (received minus sent), recomputed roughly every five minutes and ranked by whole-coin balance; zero-balance addresses are excluded.

QRL richlist — holders ranked by balance, largest first, each tagged with its wallet signature scheme (XMSS for the original Proof-of-Work chain, ML-DSA for QRL 2.0). Columns: rank, address (with name tag), signature scheme, balance in Quanta, indicative US dollar value at the current QRL market price, share of its chain's supply, 30-day net flow, transaction count, and first-seen date.
