What the data says
EFI
EFI at 0xae840deab9916d80fadf42e218119a6051468169 is a Polygon asset 397 days into its record at the September 26, 2026 snapshot, priced at a $5.2 million market cap against a $6.8 million fully-diluted figure on a fixed-looking one-million-unit supply.
The book is workable for the cap: $154.0 thousand of tracked depth on $19.5 thousand of 24-hour volume — a quiet pool that can take ordinary exits. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
LDO
LDO is Lido DAO's governance token — the vote share over the largest staking pool in crypto, the operator set behind stETH and wstETH (both covered separately in this corpus). The contract 0x5a98fcbea516cf06857215779fd812ca3bef1b32 is the canonical deployment; our September 26, 2026 read shows $854 thousand of tracked pool liquidity at a $0.39 handle.
The honest mechanics: LDO is governance, not cash flow — it doesn't pay you a share of Lido's fee revenue, it buys influence over who gets to run validators and what the treasury does. Its risk is its dominance: Lido's share of staked ETH is large enough that regulators and the Ethereum community itself periodically debate capping it, and that debate is the LDO chart. A governance token on the biggest single point of staking centralization is a strange asset — know that is what it is.

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.
