What the data says
BAL
BAL at 0x9a71012b13ca4d3d0cdc72a177df3ef03b0e76a3 — Balancer (PoS) — is the Polygon PoS-bridged deployment of the Balancer protocol's governance asset, 1,351 days into its record at the September 26, 2026 snapshot. The asset-wide $8.5 million market cap dwarfs a $68.1 thousand fully-diluted figure priced on 559.7 thousand local units.
The local book is thin to the point of a stub: $46.3 thousand of tracked depth on $934 of 24-hour volume — a legacy bridge float with barely any tape. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
A
A — a token literally named "A" — is a 453-day-old Polygon deployment at 0x6631ee651da438db2be611b5a44dfe2ca04590c5, priced at a $161.4 million market cap on the September 27, 2026 snapshot.
The gap is the read: a $161M headline on $29.9 thousand of tracked liquidity — a nine-figure mark resting on a five-figure book, where the last trade writes the price. Daily volume of $60.4 thousand churns that thin pool over twice. Contract controls were not assessed and holder distribution was not resolved.

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.
