What the data says
TEL
TEL at 0xdf7837de1f2fa4631d716cf2502f8b230f1dcc32 is Telcoin's remittance asset in its PoS-bridged Polygon form — the payments token aimed at telecom corridors, carried to the chain where its retail flow actually trades. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices a $172.2 million asset-wide market cap against a $67.1 million fully-diluted read of the local float — 38.3 billion units sitting on this chain.
The book is honest mid-cap shape: $1.4 million of tracked pool depth is workable for the size, on $72.2 thousand of 24-hour volume — a working tape rather than a churn chart. The deployment is 327 days into this index's record.
AAVE
AAVE is the token of DeFi's biggest lending protocol — the asset that secures Aave's safety module and governs the money market that's been clearing loans continuously since ETHLend in 2017. The deployment 0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9 is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $23.3 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — thin against a float that trades everywhere.
The honest shape: AAVE's thesis is unusually concrete for a governance token — stakers backstop protocol shortfalls with their own stake, so the token is literally collateral for the system's solvency, which ties its value to Aave's actual revenue and risk book rather than pure governance vibes. That makes it closer to a productive asset than most of this index — with the caveat that "productive" here still means "exposed to one protocol's loan book."

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.
