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 September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $24.0 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.
EMBLEM
Emblem Vault — EMBLEM — the token of Emblem Vault, a real cross-chain asset-vaulting protocol (wrapped vaults holding NFTs and assets across chains), on Solana at mint 6HHzBVkxtoz86Bjy2duaUw77hVfJzQkuoLizWeEMBLEM. The September 26, 2026 snapshot shows about $151 thousand of liquidity and roughly 2,033 holders.
This is a real project — vaulting technology that has operated across cycles — in the honest middle of the infrastructure-token category: value case depends on the vault product's usage feeding the token's economics.

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→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
