EIGEN vs WLD
EigenLayer and Worldcoin 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
EIGEN scores 107 of 250 and ranks 106th of 251. WLD scores 89 and ranks 196th. EIGEN leads by 18 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. EIGEN takes 11 of the 25 variables, WLD takes 2, and 12 are level.
The framework rates EIGEN WATCH and WLD 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.
2 variables separate them by 3 points or more. EIGEN is clear on TVL Trend (6 against 2) and Regulatory Safety (5 against 2).
Both score 3 or below on Protocol Revenue, Revenue Trend, P/S Multiple, Supply Inflation, Vesting Schedule, Circulating / FDV Ratio 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.
WLD is valued at $1.96B against $226.1M for EIGEN, a 8.6x 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.
