LEO vs TON
UNUS SED LEO and Toncoin 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
LEO scores 126 of 250 and ranks 53rd of 251. TON scores 110 and ranks 94th. LEO leads by 16 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. LEO takes 14 of the 25 variables, TON takes 11, and none are level.
The framework rates LEO CAUTIOUS HOLD and TON WATCH. 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. LEO is clear on Vesting Schedule (8 against 2), Buyback and Burn (8 against 2) and Protocol Revenue (6 against 1).
Both score 3 or below on Holder Concentration. 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.
TON still has 46.4% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 6.6% for LEO. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of TON is taking the 1.86x dilution path and a buyer of LEO the 1.07x one.
LEO is valued at $8.19B against $4.02B for TON, a 2.0x difference. The larger of the two also scores higher, so the market and the framework agree on the ordering here.
TON trades 82.7% below its all-time high and LEO 16.2% below its own. Recovering the high needs 5.8x from TON and 1.2x from LEO, 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.
