The framework rates ICP WATCH and MINA 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.
One variable separates them by 3 points or more. ICP is clear on Circulating / FDV Ratio (8 against 5).
Both score 3 or below on Protocol Revenue, Revenue Trend, Supply Inflation, Vesting Schedule, Buyback and Burn, Insider Selling 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.
ICP is valued at $1.75B against $121.4M for MINA, a 14.4x 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.
