DIMO
#5 overall across 7 scored depin networks. 32 points behind #1 GEODNET. Scored 48 on the published 41–99 scale under methodology 2026.09.15, from the evidence read in August 2026.
Why DIMO ranks #5
Each strength is read from evidence on a 0–10 ladder and weighted as the published methodology states. The 32 objective points these produce (5.6 here) sit inside the score; availability, friction, trust record and measured data add the rest.
Each line is the ranking run again with one of DIMO’s criterion scores changed and every other value held: the smallest whole-point change on that criterion that moves its rank, and where the re-run puts it. Up to 4 climbs and 3 falls are listed, smallest change first. Nothing here is a forecast.
Smallest climb: verified dollar demand 2 → 4 passes WeatherXM, #4.
Where it leads
- Verified dollar demand — 2/10
- Reward integrity and liquidity — 2/10
Where it trails
- Read the DIMO offer as a $107.88/year connected-car subscription whose store pages no longer mention any token reward, not as a DePIN earner — that framing makes the purchase defensible if you want the vehicle-data app, and indefensible if you are buying it to earn. Be aware the operator's own explanation of how you earn DIMO is currently a dead link, so there is no authoritative source to hold them to.
Where DIMO leads and where it trails
Rank on every objective dimension among the rows scored on it. A criterion in the top third of its pool is listed as a lead, the bottom third as a trail; the middle is neither. Popularity, size and commercial terms are not dimensions.

The 3 nearest rows by score
Nearest by published score in either direction. Each card states the criteria on which the two rows differ and the cost difference under the same scenario inputs; the compare arithmetic below shows why the higher one ranks higher.

Why GEODNET ranks above DIMO
The compare workspace's arithmetic applied to these two rows. Each dimension's share of the gap is its weight × the difference, on the displayed scale — it reproduces the displayed gap of 32.0 to within rounding.

What the record carries
Changes to published ranks and scores are recorded in a ledger, but this page does not chart that record yet, so no score line is drawn: history begins with the current verified snapshot. Below it, the methodology versions whose changes applied to this category, newest first.
- 5 Aug 2026Current verified snapshot · methodology 2026.09.15Score 48, #5 of 7. 4 of 4 criteria scored. History starts here; earlier values are not interpolated.

2026.09.15Dimension scores carry tenths, and eleven more categories are re-read from primary sources · platform-wide- changed Dimension scores resolve to tenths of a point (O-04b), and weightedTotal is rounded to six decimal places before the order is read. 518 published scores move across 107 categories that were not re-read; none of them moves by more than 4 points, and most move by 1.
- fixed 66 published scores change in the eleven re-read categories, against a verbatim source each. The largest moves are Reflexer RAI (−16), Beefy and Unrekt (−11), Aztec (−10) and Golem (+9) — all of them rows whose sources had moved since their last read.
- changed Published order moves in 38 of 119 categories and three #1s change: smart_contract_audits (Zellic → Certora) and travel_rule_compliance (Sumsub Travel Rule → CodeVASP) on the finer resolution, kyc_compliance (Veriff → Sumsub) on the re-read.
- added availabilitySource (O-04g): for a reader who states a country, a row whose availability in that country rests on a region tag its record gives no source for sorts below every sourced row. It is inert in every order published here, which states no country.

2026.09.5The published review cadence is now one the work actually keeps · platform-wide- changed reviewCadenceDays 30 → 45 across all 119 category specs, and the two prose sites that quoted "the 30-day review cadence" in tokenised_bonds.
- changed check-review-cadence-is-kept ceiling 7 → 3, negative-tested: restoring a single 30-day promise over 49-day evidence takes it to 4 and fails the build.
- fixed Measured by regenerating rankings.json: no category changed order and no score moved, and the golden suite confirms it independently — across all 119 fixtures and 2,217 cases the only fields that differ are methodologyVersion and contentHash. A cadence is a claim about freshness, not an input to any ranking.

2026.09.3The country gate reaches every country the questionnaire offers- changed The gate moved from scoreAvailability to collectProducts and reads assessCountry from the decision layer. It runs for all 60 questionnaire countries: the 27 mapped ones at country resolution, the other 33 at the wizard's region resolution (an EU member the table does not map is credited with an "eu" tag; Ukraine is not).
- changed Measured effect over every category by every questionnaire country (6,959 runs): 807 runs change, in 29 categories and 48 countries; 2,182 rows leave ranked lists and 73 runs change leader — none of them a published, no-answer ranking, which are untouched by construction. Survivors keep their relative order in every run.
- changed 19 further runs — bill_pay in 18 countries, crypto_card in New Zealand — now leave nothing eligible and show the pool for reference. Those rows had been ranked as recommendations with a "not confirmed" label; each is now labelled with its own verdict ("names Hungary as a restricted market", "lists its markets and your region is not among them") and the result says nothing is available rather than "limited availability".
- fixed A restriction sentence is now matched word-bounded ("Niger" no longer matches "Nigeria"; "US" matches "US persons", not "industrial"). Previously a substring test.
