What the data says
PENGU
PENGU is what happens when an NFT brand outgrows its JPEGs. Pudgy Penguins spent years building the rare thing in crypto — mainstream distribution, from viral GIF packs to toys on retail shelves — and in December 2024 attached a token to that brand with one of the widest airdrops Solana has hosted. As of the September 26, 2026 snapshot, PENGU carries roughly $776.5 million of market capitalization across 559,492 holders at mint 2zMMhcVQEXDtdE6vsFS7S7D5oUodfJHE8vd1gnBouauv.
The chain-level mechanics read clean: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked. Supply is fixed at what exists, and no authority can freeze a wallet out of selling — the two structural failures behind most of the losses this site documents, both absent here. A holder base above half a million wallets, seeded by the airdrop, means ownership is broad in a way most brand tokens never achieve; broad bases don't prevent drawdowns, but they make single-wallet price control much harder.
ARGUS
ARGUS on Base — 0x4a21564d908403009c2a1b2bd070ec4501612b07 — carries a name shared by several unrelated projects across chains, which is itself the first thing to verify: the address above is the only identity this page tracks, and ARGUS tokens at other contracts are different assets.
The September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $5.0 million of tracked liquidity with roughly $25.8 million of 24-hour volume — a turnover multiple near 5x, among the hottest in this index slice. Volume cycling at five times the pool daily is the signature of active two-way speculation; it says the market is trading it hard, and nothing about whether it should be.

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, 2026-09-16→2026-09-26T06:07:05; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
