DOT vs ROSE
Polkadot and Oasis Network 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
DOT scores 103 of 250 and ranks 124th of 251. ROSE scores 84 and ranks 213th. DOT leads by 19 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. DOT takes 16 of the 25 variables, ROSE takes 2, and 7 are level.
The framework rates DOT WATCH and ROSE 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.
No single variable separates DOT and ROSE by as much as 3 points. The lead is broad rather than concentrated: DOT is ahead on 16 of 25 variables by one or two points each, which is what produces the composite gap without any one variable carrying it.
Both score 3 or below on Protocol Revenue, Revenue Trend, P/S Multiple, Supply Inflation, Buyback and Burn, Smart Money Flows and 4 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.
DOT is valued at $1.88B against $62.0M for ROSE, a 30.3x 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.
