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.
ONDO
ONDO is the governance token of Ondo Finance — the firm behind tokenized treasury products like OUSG and the USDY yieldcoin — so its market is a proxy for the real-world-asset trade rather than for one protocol’s cash flows. The deployment at 0xfaba6f8e4a5e8ab82f62fe7c39859fa577269be3 is the canonical Ethereum contract.
Our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads a $2.7 billion market cap ($5.4 billion fully-diluted on the full 10.0 billion supply) across 212,919 holders, with $1.3 million of tracked pool liquidity — thin against the headline — and a 68.8% top-ten share that matches a foundation-heavy cap table mid-unlock.

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.
