MOVE vs STRK
Movement and Starknet 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
MOVE scores 67 of 250 and ranks 238th of 251. STRK scores 93 and ranks 177th. STRK leads by 26 points, which is a wide enough margin that the framework is not ambivalent. MOVE takes 2 of the 25 variables, STRK takes 19, and 4 are level.
2 variables separate them by 3 points or more. STRK is clear on Competitive Moat (6 against 3) and Team Execution (5 against 2).
Both score 3 or below on Protocol Revenue, Revenue Trend, Supply Inflation, Vesting Schedule, Circulating / FDV Ratio, Buyback and Burn and 7 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.
MOVE still has 55% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 25.8% for STRK. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of MOVE is taking the 2.22x dilution path and a buyer of STRK the 1.35x one.
STRK is valued at $366.4M against $40.6M for MOVE, a 9.0x 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.
