What separates them

ATH scores 101 of 250 and ranks 135th of 251. GMX scores 143 and ranks 28th. GMX leads by 42 points, which is a wide enough margin that the framework is not ambivalent. ATH takes 2 of the 25 variables, GMX takes 19, and 4 are level.

The framework rates ATH WATCH and GMX 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.

5 variables separate them by 3 points or more. GMX is clear on Buyback and Burn (7 against 2), Supply Inflation (8 against 4) and Circulating / FDV Ratio (8 against 4).

Both score 3 or below on Real Staking Yield, Market Share. 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.

ATH still has 52.1% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 21% for GMX. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of ATH is taking the 2.09x dilution path and a buyer of GMX the 1.27x one.

ATH is valued at $132.9M against $84.3M for GMX, a 1.6x difference. The smaller of the two scores higher on fundamentals, which is the disagreement worth understanding before either position is taken.

02

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.
