Compare programmes
Same formula, same window, both audited against on-chain data. Comparison is where the difference between a burn and a buyback becomes impossible to miss.
XRP is the better outcome for holders by 6.8 percentage points over 12 months. The two run different mechanisms: Fee burn against Buyback to stakers + reserve burn.
Permalink /compare/aster-vs-xrp — the pair is normalised alphabetically, so the reverse order redirects here rather than becoming a second page.
Where the two differ
The share of circulating supply added or removed over twelve months — the figure the ranking sorts on. Below zero the float is shrinking; above it, holders are being diluted.
Unlocks release tokens that were minted long ago, so they move the float without touching total supply — and on chains where burning does not reduce the reported supply, the burn does not show here either. ASTER shows the wider gap: its float moves 12.4 pp worse than its total supply, so the schedule is doing more to holders than the programme is.
The hairline marks 1.00×, where burns exactly cover everything added. Burns divided by issuance plus scheduled unlocks over the same window. Above the line a programme is reversing dilution; below it, only slowing it.

Comparison pages are generated on demand and only indexed when both tokens carry a figure and the gap is at least 5 pp. Below that they are thin pages that drag the whole domain down, so we decline to publish them rather than let a crawler find them.
