What the data says
HNT
HNT is one of the few tokens on this site attached to something you can photograph: hundreds of thousands of physical Helium hotspots providing IoT and mobile wireless coverage, earning tokens for verified work. The network launched its own blockchain in 2019 and migrated wholesale to Solana in April 2023 — one of the largest chain migrations ever completed — where the mint hntyVP6YFm1Hg25TN9WGLqM12b8TQmcknKrdu1oxWux now carries roughly $97.2 million of market capitalization across 537,762 holders as of NexFlow's September 26, 2026 snapshot.
The authority read needs its context. Freeze authority: revoked — no one can lock a holder's balance. Mint authority: not the burned-forever state a memecoin checklist wants, and correctly so, because HNT's supply is emissive by design: the protocol mints new HNT on a public issuance schedule with halvings (most recently August 2025), paying hotspot operators for coverage, under a hard cap of 223 million. Like a liquid-staking token, the mint lever here belongs to the protocol's own program doing its documented job — the question to monitor is governance over that program, not the lever's existence.
PLAY
PLAY at 0x853a7c99227499dba9db8c3a02aa691afdebf841 is a Base asset 140 days into its record at the September 26, 2026 snapshot. The $11.7 million market cap prices under a tenth of the $125.0 million fully-diluted figure on 5.0 billion units — the emission overhang dominates this book's shape.
The book is workable and the tape is hot: $301.3 thousand of tracked depth on $1.1 million of 24-hour volume — the pool cycling itself several times daily. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.

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.
