COMP vs MANA
Compound and Decentraland 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
COMP scores 119 of 250 and ranks 71st of 251. MANA scores 66 and ranks 241st. COMP leads by 53 points, which is a wide enough margin that the framework is not ambivalent. COMP takes 24 of the 25 variables, MANA takes 0, and one is level.
The framework rates COMP WATCH and MANA PASS. 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. COMP is clear on TVL Trend (5 against 1), Institutional Adoption (6 against 2) and Supply Inflation (8 against 5).
Both score 3 or below on Protocol Revenue, P/S Multiple, Buyback and Burn, Real Staking Yield, Market Share, Competitive Moat 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.
COMP is valued at $234.1M against $197.1M for MANA, a 1.2x 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.

Catalyst and risk on each side
COMP · WATCH
Compound III multi-chain expansion and potential governance fee switch
Extremely high P/S ratio (~112x) with declining market share vs Aave; COMP token captures minimal protocol value
MANA · PASS
Decentraland Foundation events and partnerships with legacy brands
Reported concurrent user counts in the hundreds; massive gap between market cap and actual usage is unsustainable
