What the data says
KIN
KIN predates almost everything else in this corpus: born in Kik Messenger's 2017 ICO, fought over with the SEC in one of crypto's defining early enforcement cases, migrated across three blockchains before settling on Solana — where it was one of the network's earliest large tokens. The September 26, 2026 snapshot finds the veteran at roughly $3.37 million of market capitalization with 81,187 holders on mint kinXdEcpDQeHPEuQnqmUgtYykqKGVFq6CeVX5iAHJq6.
The contract state is confirmed clean: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked. Nine years after issuance, no mechanism remains that could dilute or freeze a holder — though at this point that cleanliness is housekeeping on a market that has mostly moved on.
STARS
STARS — "StarLaunch" on Solana, mint HCgybxq5Upy8Mccihrp7EsmwwFqYZtrHrsmsKwtGXLgW — is the token of StarLaunch: Solana's original insured launchpad — a real platform from the 2021 IDO era that launched actual projects. The September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $41 thousand across 17,413 holders.
StarLaunch was a flagship Solana platform — its "insured launchpad" model was a genuine innovation — and the 17.4k file is real platform-era distribution. A 99.1-million supply at $0.00046 is a utility shape; ~$50 of daily volume on $5 thousand is a dead book. Mint and freeze revoked; dev wallet 1%.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
