MCB vs RETH
MCDEX and Rocket Pool ETH 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
MCB scores 76 of 250 and ranks 225th of 251. RETH scores 159 and ranks 14th. RETH leads by 83 points, which is a wide enough margin that the framework is not ambivalent. MCB takes 0 of the 25 variables, RETH takes 25, and none are level.
The framework rates MCB PASS and RETH 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. RETH is clear on Smart Money Flows (8 against 2), Real Staking Yield (9 against 3) and Vesting Schedule (10 against 6).
MCB still has 20.8% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 0% for RETH. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of MCB is taking the 1.26x dilution path and a buyer of RETH the 1x one.
RETH is valued at $946.8M against $8.9M for MCB, a 106.3x difference. The larger of the two also scores higher, so the market and the framework agree on the ordering here.
MCB trades 96.6% below its all-time high and RETH 46.6% below its own. Recovering the high needs 29.4x from MCB and 1.9x from RETH, 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.
