What the data says
STG
STG is Stargate’s token — the LayerZero-based bridge’s governance asset, airdropped across half a dozen chains during the 2022 liquidity rush. The Optimism deployment at 0x296f55f8fb28e498b858d0bcda06d955b2cb3f97 is one of those secondary homes, and the snapshot says it has thinned to a residue.
Our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads 76,272 holders of a 2.4 million-token float here — a $337.5 thousand fully-diluted print inside the $19.2 million market cap the token carries globally — with $23.9 thousand of tracked pool liquidity and $5.0 thousand traded in the last day. Thin is generous; a modest order moves this deployment’s price.
ERN
ERN — the Ethos Reserve Note — is a 1,060-day-old Optimism stablecoin-era asset at 0xc5b001dc33727f8f26880b184090d3e252470d45, and it prints the batch's worst score: the contract can mint new supply, can pause transfers or blacklist wallets, and the owner can change balances outright — with the owner hidden to boot.
The market has long since repriced the trust: a $2.2 million market cap against $14.7 thousand of tracked liquidity and $356 of daily volume — a vestige book where 1,965 wallets hold residual positions while the top ten control 72.5% of supply. The stablecoin thesis behind ERN is a documented DeFi story; the contract levers recorded here are the snapshot's own read.

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.
