What the data says
QUID
QUID — trading as "Squid" on Base, 0x1a44233fae8d50f1aeb3a5d58dd426ff4814cb53 — carries the single most infamous name in token history. The original SQUID, launched around the Squid Game series in late 2021, became the canonical honeypot: it rocketed thousands of percent while its contract quietly blocked every sell, then collapsed to zero in minutes when the deployer exited.
This contract is not that token — different chain, different address, 16 days tracked in the September 27, 2026 snapshot with $436 thousand of liquidity and roughly $14.4 million of daily volume. But the name choice is itself a data point: a deployer who picks the most famous scam ticker in crypto is either making an ironic joke or fishing for exactly the buyers the joke attracts. Neither possibility says the contract is malicious — the sell-side check is what settles that, and the honeypot test is the required first step on this page more than almost any other.
VIRTUAL
VIRTUAL is Virtuals Protocol's token — the asset behind one of crypto-AI's more durable experiments: a platform where AI agents launch as tradable tokens and their activity routes value back to the protocol's token. The mint 3iQL8BFS2vE7mww4ehAqQHAsbmRNCrPxizWAT2Zfyr9y is the Solana deployment; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $2.2 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest shape: Virtuals is a platform bet in the crypto-AI cohort — its token's value depends on agents it hosts actually generating sustained activity rather than launch-day volume spikes, which is the failure mode most agent-token platforms hit. The A grade covers the Solana mint; the platform's usage is an off-chain measurement.

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, 2026-09-18T04:43:53→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
