What separates them
HBAR scores 112 of 250 and ranks 89th of 251. OKB scores 145 and ranks 25th. OKB leads by 33 points, which is a wide enough margin that the framework is not ambivalent. HBAR takes 2 of the 25 variables, OKB takes 17, and 6 are level.
The framework rates HBAR WATCH and OKB HOLD. 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.
5 variables separate them by 3 points or more. OKB is clear on Buyback and Burn (8 against 2), Protocol Revenue (7 against 3) and Supply Inflation (7 against 4).
HBAR is valued at $4.09B against $2.75B for OKB, a 1.5x difference. The smaller of the two scores higher on fundamentals, which is the disagreement worth understanding before either position is taken.
HBAR trades 83.7% below its all-time high and OKB 42.7% below its own. Recovering the high needs 6.1x from HBAR and 1.7x from OKB, 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.
