BLAST vs USUAL
Blast and Usual Protocol 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. USUAL scores 99 and ranks 147th. USUAL leads by 12 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. BLAST takes 3 of the 25 variables, USUAL takes 11, and 11 are level.
One variable separates them by 3 points or more. USUAL is clear on Buyback and Burn (4 against 1).
Both score 3 or below on Revenue Trend, Supply Inflation, Vesting Schedule, Insider Selling, TVL Trend, Market Share and 1 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.
USUAL is valued at $23.6M against $4.9M for BLAST, a 4.8x 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.
