What the data says
MKR
One thing stands out on MKR, and it's worth knowing up front. Right now MKR's contract keeps its mint and freeze levers (2026-09-27 snapshot), which keeps the option open for them to create new supply or freeze transfers. Until that changes, MKR stays around 49/100 — worth watching, and an easy win for the project if they remove it.
Here's where MKR stands today: deep liquidity of $1.44M and a holder base of 75,222 as of 2026-09-27. Read $1.44M of depth against the size you intend to trade rather than in isolation — it's the pool your exit has to pass through, so it doubles as a sensible position ceiling. 75,222 holders is a decent base; just remember the number alone doesn't reveal how much the top wallets control, so weigh it with the concentration figure. Reassuringly, the wallet that created MKR holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-09-27 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.
TEL
TEL at 0xdf7837de1f2fa4631d716cf2502f8b230f1dcc32 is Telcoin's remittance asset in its PoS-bridged Polygon form — the payments token aimed at telecom corridors, carried to the chain where its retail flow actually trades. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices a $172.2 million asset-wide market cap against a $67.1 million fully-diluted read of the local float — 38.3 billion units sitting on this chain.
The book is honest mid-cap shape: $1.4 million of tracked pool depth is workable for the size, on $72.2 thousand of 24-hour volume — a working tape rather than a churn chart. The deployment is 327 days into this index's record.

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→2026-09-27T18:22:06; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
