What the data says
AURA
AURA — Auralith — is an 88-day-old Polygon token at 0xd9d12f43918363cea1c0b62d16f1f81b8eae91e0, priced at a $4.5 million market cap on the September 27, 2026 snapshot.
The venue side is the healthiest in this batch relative to size: $1.1 million of tracked pool liquidity is deep for a $4.5M cap — a quarter of the valuation sits in the exit book. What isn't measured matters as much: contract controls weren't evaluated in this snapshot and holder distribution wasn't resolved, so the structural questions stay open.
OP
OP at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042 is the Optimism Collective's governance token — the canonical OP Mainnet deployment sitting in the chain's own vanity address space, not a bridged copy. The September 26, 2026 snapshot counts 1,370,841 holders around a $299.4 million market cap, $559.2 million fully diluted against a 4.3 billion total supply — the gap between the two figures is the unissued allocation the Collective still holds.
The contract posture is worth quoting exactly. Minting is still active — new supply can be minted, consistent with OP's ongoing distribution schedule. Freeze is revoked, and the code is not a proxy. Depth is the soft spot: $1.1 million of tracked pool liquidity is thin against a nine-figure cap, and $2.8 million of 24-hour volume means ordinary exits clear but size should be measured against the pool, not the headline.

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.
