APT vs BERA
Aptos and Berachain scored on the same 25 variables, ranked against the same 251 tokens, with every gap between them shown.
Scoring pass 18 Sept 2026. Market snapshot 7 Oct 2026.
What separates them
APT scores 116 of 250 and ranks 81st of 251. BERA scores 127 and ranks 51st. BERA leads by 11 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. APT takes 3 of the 25 variables, BERA takes 12, and 10 are level.
The framework rates APT WATCH and BERA CAUTIOUS HOLD. Two tokens close enough to compare do not have to land in the same band, and where they do not, the divergence table below is where the split comes from.
No single variable separates APT and BERA by as much as 3 points. They are close on the framework's terms, which makes price, liquidity and the supply position below the only grounds for choosing.
Both score 3 or below on Supply Inflation, Vesting Schedule, Buyback and Burn. A weakness both sides share is not a reason to prefer either. It is a reason to check whether the category itself carries the problem.
APT still has 58.5% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 37.8% for BERA. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of APT is taking the 2.41x dilution path and a buyer of BERA the 1.61x one.
APT is valued at $652.3M against $76.8M for BERA, a 8.5x difference. The smaller of the two scores higher on fundamentals, which is the disagreement worth understanding before either position is taken.
All 25 variables, head to head
Both tokens were scored by the same framework in the same pass, so the numbers are directly comparable. What a comparison adds over two separate pages is the gap: a 6 against a 6 is a non-event, a 9 against a 3 is the reason to hold one and not the other.
