What the data says
NST
NST at 0x88a269df8fe7f53e590c561954c52fccc8ec0cfb — Ninja Squad Token — is an Arbitrum asset 911 days into its record at the September 26, 2026 snapshot. The asset-wide $13.3 million market cap sits above the $5.8 million fully-diluted figure priced on 3.8 million local units.
The local book is workable against the slice: $188.4 thousand of tracked depth on $29.5 thousand of 24-hour volume. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
AAVE
AAVE is the token of DeFi's biggest lending protocol — the asset that secures Aave's safety module and governs the money market that's been clearing loans continuously since ETHLend in 2017. The deployment 0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9 is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $23.3 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — thin against a float that trades everywhere.
The honest shape: AAVE's thesis is unusually concrete for a governance token — stakers backstop protocol shortfalls with their own stake, so the token is literally collateral for the system's solvency, which ties its value to Aave's actual revenue and risk book rather than pure governance vibes. That makes it closer to a productive asset than most of this index — with the caveat that "productive" here still means "exposed to one protocol's loan book."

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.
