What the data says
CAT
CAT on BNB Chain at 0x0667873e07ffec6509525b4e4cd97409e1fe9424 is a 126-day-old memecoin carrying one of the widest cap-to-book gaps in this batch: a $792.8 million market cap against $160.3 thousand of tracked pool liquidity on the October 6, 2026 snapshot.
A nine-figure headline on a six-figure exit book means the price is set at the margin — the last trade, not the depth, writes the mark. The tape is active regardless: $1.4 million of daily volume churns through that thin pool. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot and holder distribution was not resolved.
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 October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $19.9 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→2026-10-23T18:15:55; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
