What the data says
POL
POL — 0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 — is the Polygon Ecosystem Token, the successor asset that replaced MATIC as Polygon's gas and staking token in the network's 2024 upgrade.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $1.1 billion market cap, fully circulating against an equal FDV, with 105,309 holders. Tracked on-chain depth runs $49.8 thousand — POL's liquidity is overwhelmingly on centralized venues and its home chain, not the pools this ledger prices. The day prints -1.6%.
CAKE
PancakeSwap Token (CAKE) is the governance and rewards token of PancakeSwap, the largest decentralized exchange on BNB Chain — the asset its farms, pools and lottery pay out — at 0x0e09fabb73bd3ade0a17ecc321fd13a19e81ce82. This snapshot is dated October 9, 2026.
The deployment is 313 days into this listing's tracked life, with a $697.1 million market cap ($735.4 million fully-diluted) and $18.0 million traded in the last day. Tracked liquidity sits at $29.6 million — workable rather than deep against the market cap, which is typical of an asset whose volume spreads across hundreds of pools and central-exchange order books.

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→2026-10-30T18:16:02; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
