What the data says
AMWBTC
AMWBTC — Aave's Polygon-market WBTC receipt at 0x5c2ed810328349100a66b82b78a1791b101c9d61 — is not a token you buy so much as a receipt the Aave pool issued when someone deposited WBTC: it tracks a claim on the deposited bitcoin plus accrued interest, priced at $81,051 per unit on a 62-unit supply at the September 27, 2026 snapshot.
The profile fits a receipt token: an upgradeable proxy by design (Aave upgrades market logic behind the same addresses), verified source, $943 thousand of healthy depth, 9,807 holders, and 1,518 days of operation. The ten largest wallets hold about 53.4% of the tiny unit supply — expected, since the biggest depositors hold the most receipts.
LINK
LINK is Chainlink's token — the asset that pays the oracle network most of DeFi runs on, making it one of the few crypto tokens tied to infrastructure the market actually uses every block. The deployment 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $24.0 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — a fraction of a float spread across every venue that lists it.
The honest shape: LINK's value thesis is payment for oracle services plus stake in the network's security model, so it carries a real-usage floor most tokens lack — and a valuation that has always run ahead of the fees the network actually collects. It is infrastructure exposure, not a cashflow claim, and the gap between "most-used oracle" and "token captures that usage" is the open question its holders are betting on.

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, 2026-09-21→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
