GTC vs TNSR
Gitcoin and Tensor 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
GTC scores 106 of 250 and ranks 110th of 251. TNSR scores 112 and ranks 89th. TNSR leads by 6 points, which is inside the range where the individual variables matter more than the total. GTC takes 2 of the 25 variables, TNSR takes 7, and 16 are level.
No single variable separates GTC and TNSR 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 Buyback and Burn, Real Staking Yield. 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.
TNSR is valued at $27.8M against $15.9M for GTC, a 1.8x 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.
