What this group has in common

Established enough to be listed everywhere and small enough that a good quarter still changes the price. Score and market cap disagree more usefully here than in any other band. Across the 34 tokens in this band the median composite is 118 of 250, running from 71 to 167. Size is the only thing every member has in common, which is what makes the spread of scores inside it worth looking at.

Inside this band, composite score and market capitalisation correlate 0.03. That is no relationship at all. Once the size bracket is fixed, being larger says nothing about scoring better, which means the ordering below disagrees with the ordering by market cap almost everywhere, and the disagreement is the reason to read it.

Figures are the mean 1-to-10 score across all 34 members of the group, so they describe the group as a whole rather than any single token.

Ranked members

Ordered by composite score. The rank column is the position across the whole 251-token universe, not within this group, so it shows where each member stands against everything else that was rated.

Dilution is eventual supply divided by circulating supply, derived from supply counts rather than from a fully diluted valuation, so it does not move with price. A 1x reading means the float is already complete.
