NOS vs QUICK
Nosana and QuickSwap 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
NOS scores 86 of 250 and ranks 208th of 251. QUICK scores 105 and ranks 115th. QUICK leads by 19 points, which is a real gap, though small enough that one variable moving would close much of it. NOS takes 0 of the 25 variables, QUICK takes 18, and 7 are level.
The framework rates NOS PASS and QUICK 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.
No single variable separates NOS and QUICK by as much as 3 points. The lead is broad rather than concentrated: QUICK is ahead on 18 of 25 variables by one or two points each, which is what produces the composite gap without any one variable carrying it.
Both score 3 or below on Buyback and Burn, Smart Money Flows, Institutional Adoption, Social Mindshare. 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.
QUICK still has 34.4% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 0% for NOS. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of QUICK is taking the 1.52x dilution path and a buyer of NOS the 1x one.
NOS is valued at $52.5M against $7.0M for QUICK, a 7.5x difference. The smaller of the two scores higher on fundamentals, which is the disagreement worth understanding before either position is taken.
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.
