What the data says
SQD
SQD at 0x1337420ded5adb9980cfc35f8f2b054ea86f8ab1 — Subsquid — is the Arbitrum deployment of the blockchain data-network token, 809 days into its record at the November 6, 2026 snapshot. The $24.1 million market cap prices nearly all of the $24.4 million fully-diluted figure on 1.3 billion units — the float is essentially out.
The book is thin for the cap: $117.5 thousand of tracked depth on $14.9 thousand of 24-hour volume — a held-token profile. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
LDO
LDO is Lido DAO's governance token — the vote share over the largest staking pool in crypto, the operator set behind stETH and wstETH (both covered separately in this corpus). The contract 0x5a98fcbea516cf06857215779fd812ca3bef1b32 is the canonical deployment; our November 6, 2026 read shows $812 thousand of tracked pool liquidity at a $0.39 handle.
The honest mechanics: LDO is governance, not cash flow — it doesn't pay you a share of Lido's fee revenue, it buys influence over who gets to run validators and what the treasury does. Its risk is its dominance: Lido's share of staked ETH is large enough that regulators and the Ethereum community itself periodically debate capping it, and that debate is the LDO chart. A governance token on the biggest single point of staking centralization is a strange asset — know that is what it is.

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→2026-11-13T12:15:58; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
