BLAST vs MODE
Blast and Mode Network 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
BLAST scores 87 of 250 and ranks 206th of 251. MODE scores 72 and ranks 234th. BLAST leads by 15 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. BLAST takes 14 of the 25 variables, MODE takes 2, and 9 are level.
No single variable separates BLAST and MODE 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 Protocol Revenue, Revenue Trend, Supply Inflation, Vesting Schedule, Buyback and Burn, Smart Money Flows and 9 more. 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.
BLAST is valued at $4.9M against $666.9K for MODE, a 7.3x 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.
