What the data says
AERO
AERO is Aerodrome Finance's token — and Aerodrome is not just another DEX, it is the central liquidity hub of Base: the ve(3,3) emissions engine (a Velodrome fork) that routes rewards to pools by veAERO voter preference, making it the venue where most serious Base liquidity is deposited. The contract 0x940181a94a35a4569e4529a3cdfb74e38fd98631 is the canonical Base deployment; our November 6, 2026 read shows $5.8 million in the tracked pools themselves — a separate number from the far larger volume the exchange routes daily.
The honest shape: AERO's price is a bet on the emissions flywheel — votes direct emissions, emissions attract liquidity, liquidity attracts volume, volume attracts votes. Flywheels run beautifully in both directions, and a token whose demand depends on perpetual emissions demand carries reflexivity risk in full. The ve-lock does damp the circulating float, which is the honest counterweight.
JUP
JUP is the governance token of Jupiter, the aggregator that routes the majority of Solana's swap volume — including, full disclosure, many of the swaps on this site. That makes it one of the few large Solana tokens whose underlying "business" is directly observable on-chain: every day's routed volume is public, and the token's relevance rises and falls with it. As of the November 6, 2026 snapshot, JUP carries roughly $824.5 million of market capitalization across 837,158 holders at mint JUPyiwrYJFskUPiHa7hkeR8VUtAeFoSYbKedZNsDvCN.
The structural read is clean: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked. No one can inflate the supply by fiat and no one can lock a holder's tokens — the two failure modes that account for most of the wreckage this site catalogues. Distribution is genuinely broad; an 800-thousand-wallet base came from one of the largest airdrop programs in Solana's history, which spread ownership widely but also created recurring, scheduled moments of sell pressure as later distribution rounds unlocked. Supply events like that are public calendar items, not hidden risks, but they are worth knowing about before reading any chart move as organic.

The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-14→2026-11-13T12:15:58; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
