This table is based on research at Nash for work expanding our MPC protocol to secure wallets on new blockchains. We took a snapshot of rankings by market cap in early February 2021. In summary, 74 coins use ECDSA and the secp256k1 curve, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 48 ERC20 tokens. 10 coins use EdDSA and curve25519, such as Stellar, Cardano and Elrond. 8 coins use multiple signing algorithms and curves (often both ECDSA/secp256k1 and EdDSA/curve25519), such as Polkadot and Tezos.
