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.
GNS
GNS at 0x18c11fd286c5ec11c3b683caa813b77f5163a122 is the Gains Network token on Arbitrum — the asset of a decentralized leverage-trading platform, 832 days into its record at the September 27, 2026 snapshot. 14,134 holders share the book around a $11.6 million market cap, against a $8.2 million fully-diluted figure that sits below the cap — an unusual inversion reflecting a circulating float larger than the measured local supply basis of 16.7 million units.
The D grade is earned on the contract side: mint authority is still active and new supply can be minted. Freeze authority is revoked, and it is not a proxy. The ten largest wallets hold 56.7% of supply. $213.8 thousand of workable tracked depth sees $22.6 thousand of daily volume.

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.
