On a 0 to 100 scale, Ethereum leads bitcoin by 79 points on Settlement demand and by 72 points on Ecosystem gravity.
Ethereum, bitcoin and eleven other chains, each scored from 0 to 100 on five measures, on data for October 1 to 31, 2026. Pick a comparison to see each chain on the same scale.
Ethereum's weakest score is Capital access, at 46.91, against 88.86 or more on each of the other three scored dimensions.
| Chain | Settlement demand | Monetary dynamics | Capital access | Ecosystem gravity | Roadmap and narrative credibility | Composite and grade |

Each dimension draws on named third-party research.
Bitcoin's US spot funds have taken in $4.63 for every $1 that ether's have, from launch to October 30, 2026.
$57.05 billion for bitcoin against $12.32 billion for ether since launch (Farside Investors, through October 30, 2026; third-party).
Chicago Mercantile Exchange futures open interest was 2.61 to 1 in dollars on October 27, 2026 (Commodity Futures Trading Commission; third-party).
Scored without the three metrics that have no bitcoin series, bitcoin's composite would be 62.53.
Scored without the rollup metrics only Ethereum can earn, Ethereum's composite would be 74.08 and still first.
A score of 100 marks the highest of thirteen chains on October 1 to 31, 2026 data and 0 the lowest.
Dollar and count figures are compared on a log scale. A dimension averages its metrics. The composite weights Settlement demand 20, Monetary dynamics 15, Capital access 25, Ecosystem gravity 20 and Roadmap and narrative credibility 20, over the dimensions scored. The grades apply to the composite only. Dimension scores use the same 0 to 100 scale for comparison. Base, Arbitrum and OP Mainnet are rollups, networks that run on Ethereum and post their records to it. Scores are derived from third-party public data as of October 31, 2026.
