What the data says
ARB
ARB is Arbitrum's own token — the governance asset of the largest Ethereum L2, the chain most of this index's Arbitrum-side liquidity actually lives on. The deployment 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548 is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $2.8 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest asymmetry: ARB's market value rides on the chain it governs being worth governing — the token's thesis is Arbitrum's sequencer revenue, its DAO treasury, and the chain's continued dominance in L2 DeFi, none of which a liquidity snapshot can confirm or deny. What the snapshot does show is that ARB's on-chain depth is concentrated and modest relative to the chain's own TVL — most ARB trades happen off-chain or on the chain's own DEX infrastructure in pairs this index doesn't fully see.
SHIB
SHIBA INU at 0x95ad61b0a150d79219dcf64e1e6cc01f0b64c4ce is the original self-styled dogecoin killer on Ethereum and one of the widest-held tokens anywhere: 1,703,814 wallets at the October 9, 2026 snapshot. This page's job is less to explain a meme than to read a very large, very old market structure honestly.
The contract side is as clean as a token gets: it cannot mint new supply, cannot pause or blacklist transfers, the source is verified, and it sits on a major security registry's trust list. The creator wallet holds under 0.01% of supply. The honest caveat is market-side, not contract-side: $2.4 million of tracked liquidity against a $3.2 billion market cap is large in dollars but thin against the token's own size — size an exit against the pool, not the cap. The ten largest wallets hold about 64% of supply, heavy even for a top-cap meme.

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→2026-10-26T21:16:29; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
