ATH vs ORCA
Aethir and Orca 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
ATH scores 101 of 250 and ranks 135th of 251. ORCA scores 123 and ranks 56th. ORCA leads by 22 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. ATH takes 0 of the 25 variables, ORCA takes 19, and 6 are level.
The framework rates ATH WATCH and ORCA 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 ATH and ORCA by as much as 3 points. The lead is broad rather than concentrated: ORCA is ahead on 19 of 25 variables by one or two points each, which is what produces the composite gap without any one variable carrying it.
Both score 3 or below on Buyback and Burn, Institutional Adoption. 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.
ORCA is valued at $167.2M against $132.9M for ATH, a 1.3x difference. The larger of the two also scores higher, so the market and the framework agree on the ordering here.
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.
