COTI vs IOTX
COTI and IoTeX 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
COTI scores 97 of 250 and ranks 155th of 251. IOTX scores 98 and ranks 150th. IOTX leads by 1 points, which is inside the range where the individual variables matter more than the total. COTI takes 1 of the 25 variables, IOTX takes 2, and 22 are level.
No single variable separates COTI and IOTX 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, Buyback and Burn, TVL Trend, Active Users, Market Share and 3 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.
COTI still has 39.3% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 5.6% for IOTX. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of COTI is taking the 1.65x dilution path and a buyer of IOTX the 1.06x one.
COTI is valued at $39.1M against $34.2M for IOTX, a 1.1x 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.
