What the data says
ATH
One detail on ATH didn't fully resolve in the 2026-09-27 snapshot: its contract controls. So it's best treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed clean, and the scanner above reads it live in a couple of seconds before you trade.
Here's where ATH stands today: $1.45M of on-chain liquidity, 25,650 wallets holding and a maturing record at 116 days as of 2026-09-27. Read $1.45M of depth against the size you intend to trade rather than in isolation — it's the pool your exit has to pass through, so it doubles as a sensible position ceiling. 25,650 holders is a decent base; just remember the number alone doesn't reveal how much the top wallets control, so weigh it with the concentration figure. Reassuringly, the wallet that created ATH holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-09-27 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.
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→2026-09-26T06:07:05; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
