Scoring pass 18 Sept 2026. Market snapshot 7 Oct 2026.
What separates them
BONK scores 93 of 250 and ranks 177th of 251. SHIB scores 71 and ranks 235th. BONK leads by 22 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. BONK takes 15 of the 25 variables, SHIB takes 1, and 9 are level.
2 variables separate them by 3 points or more. BONK is clear on Market Share (6 against 3) and BTC Alpha Potential (5 against 2).
Both score 3 or below on Protocol Revenue, Revenue Trend, P/S Multiple, Smart Money Flows, Real Staking Yield, TVL Trend and 6 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.
SHIB is valued at $3.17B against $300.8M for BONK, a 10.6x 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.
