What the data says
SNX
SNX at 0x8700daec35af8ff88c16bdf0418774cb3d7599b4 is the bridged deployment of Synthetix's network token on Optimism — the collateral asset behind the derivatives protocol that made synthetic liquidity a category of its own. The September 27, 2026 snapshot counts 39,667 holders on this chain around a local float of 32.2 million units priced $8.4 million fully diluted — a small slice of the asset's $152.2 million overall market cap.
The contract read is the clean kind this index prints: mint and freeze authority are both revoked, the contract cannot mint new supply, and the code is not a proxy — the full locked-posture stack that earns the grade. The weak axis is the exit, not the code: $94.6 thousand of tracked pool depth against $15.2 thousand of daily volume is a thin local book, and the ten largest wallets hold 81.1% of supply. Holders are many; depth is not.
UNI
UNI is Uniswap's governance token — the asset of the protocol that invented the automated market maker and still clears more DEX volume than the rest of the field combined. The deployment 0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $25.5 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.
The honest asymmetry is the governance-token shape: UNI's thesis is control over a fee-generating machine, but the "fee switch" — the mechanism that would route protocol revenue to holders — has been proposed and deferred for years, so the token trades on governance value and the perennial expectation rather than cashflow it actually pays. That makes its valuation more reflexive than a productive asset's.

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.
