CRO vs QNT
Cronos and Quant 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
CRO scores 102 of 250 and ranks 129th of 251. QNT scores 116 and ranks 81st. QNT leads by 14 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. CRO takes 3 of the 25 variables, QNT takes 15, and 7 are level.
2 variables separate them by 3 points or more. CRO is clear on Buyback and Burn (5 against 2) and Real Staking Yield (5 against 2).
Both score 3 or below on Protocol Revenue, TVL Trend. 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.
CRO still has 50.5% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 0.5% for QNT. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of CRO is taking the 2.02x dilution path and a buyer of QNT the 1x one.
QNT is valued at $3.53B against $3.12B for CRO, a 1.1x difference. The larger of the two also scores higher, so the market and the framework agree on the ordering here.
CRO trades 92.9% below its all-time high and QNT 43.3% below its own. Recovering the high needs 14.1x from CRO and 1.8x from QNT, which is the same statement read as the return each one has to produce.
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.
