What the data says
MKR
MKR — 0x9f8f72aa9304c8b593d555f12ef6589cc3a579a2 — is MakerDAO's governance token, caught mid-story: the protocol rebranded to Sky and re-denominated its governance asset (MKR → SKY at 1:24,000) while both tickers trade. This row tracks the original MKR contract — still live, still convertible — which makes its snapshot numbers read strange to anyone who doesn't know the migration is running.
The November 5, 2026 snapshot reads an $125.9 million fully-diluted value and $1.2 million of tracked depth against 75,008 holders — and a top-10 concentration of 197%, a number that is impossible on its face. Concentration over 100% is not a hidden whale; it is the snapshot double-counting supply that is mid-migration between the two tickers, an honest artifact of measuring a token that is half-converted.
LIT
LIT is Lighter's token — the equity of one of the higher-volume perpetual DEXes running, a zk-rollup venue that settles Ethereum-grade while quoting like a centralized exchange. The contract 0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 is the deployment our scan tracks, at $931 thousand of pool liquidity as of November 6, 2026.
The honest read: the venue is real — Lighter has sat near the top of perp-DEX volume rankings — and the question is the standard one for fresh exchange tokens: how much of the venue's economics actually accrue to the token, and what the post-airdrop float looks like as unlocks land. Volume is the claim; the token's claim on it is what to verify.

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, 2026-09-27→2026-11-12T21:16:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
