What the data says
NEST
NEST is a mid-cap Solana token at mint 68Nq68CrtLVpyvK5Un7UADiNczaGf39hBbj3diRsYj6D. The September 26, 2026 snapshot shows about $213 thousand of liquidity, a market capitalization near $868 thousand, and roughly 2,592 holders.
A name note first: "Nest" is shared by several unrelated projects across chains — an RWA-vault brand, gaming tokens, and community coins all use it — so identity-by-ticker is useless here; the mint string is the only reliable handle on which NEST this is.
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.

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.
