SKY vs WLD
Sky (formerly Maker) and Worldcoin 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
SKY scores 141 of 250 and ranks 30th of 251. WLD scores 89 and ranks 196th. SKY leads by 52 points, which is a wide enough margin that the framework is not ambivalent. SKY takes 16 of the 25 variables, WLD takes 4, and 5 are level.
The framework rates SKY CAUTIOUS HOLD and WLD PASS. 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. SKY is clear on Vesting Schedule (9 against 1), Circulating / FDV Ratio (9 against 1) and Protocol Revenue (8 against 1).
Both score 3 or below on Supply Inflation, 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.
WLD still has 62% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 0.1% for SKY. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of WLD is taking the 2.63x dilution path and a buyer of SKY the 1x one.
WLD is valued at $1.96B against $1.86B for SKY, a 1.0x difference. The smaller of the two scores higher on fundamentals, which is the disagreement worth understanding before either position is taken.
WLD trades 95.6% below its all-time high and SKY 21.2% below its own. Recovering the high needs 22.7x from WLD and 1.3x from SKY, 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.
