QNT vs UNI
Quant and Uniswap 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
QNT scores 116 of 250 and ranks 81st of 251. UNI scores 167 and ranks 9th. UNI leads by 51 points, which is a wide enough margin that the framework is not ambivalent. QNT takes 2 of the 25 variables, UNI takes 22, and one is level.
The framework rates QNT WATCH and UNI 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. UNI is clear on Buyback and Burn (7 against 2), Active Users (8 against 3) and Network Growth (8 against 4).
Both score 3 or below on Real Staking Yield. 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.
UNI still has 37.5% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 0.5% for QNT. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of UNI is taking the 1.6x dilution path and a buyer of QNT the 1x one.
UNI is valued at $4.91B against $3.53B for QNT, a 1.4x difference. The larger of the two also scores higher, so the market and the framework agree on the ordering here.
UNI trades 82.5% below its all-time high and QNT 43.3% below its own. Recovering the high needs 5.7x from UNI and 1.8x from QNT, 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.
