What the data says
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 November 6, 2026 snapshot reads $21.0 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.
CHIP
CHIP is a mid-cap token on Arbitrum: the contract 0x0c1c1c109fe34733fca54b82d7b46b75cfb71f6e is what our scan tracks, with $1.3 million of pool liquidity as of November 6, 2026 — the deepest pool in this batch's EVM tier.
Same verifiability note as the rest of this tier: the liquidity figure is a real on-chain fact and a functional market, but it is not a credential — CHIP-tickered tokens exist on several chains, so confirm this contract is the project you mean to hold before trading. Deep pool, ordinary verification burden.

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→2026-11-13T12:15:58; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
