What the data says
WEN
WEN arrived in January 2024 as one of Solana's most widely distributed airdrops — born from the fractionalized "wen poem" NFT and dropped to a huge swath of Jupiter-ecosystem wallets. That origin still defines its shape in the September 26, 2026 snapshot: 209,011 holders against roughly $5.87 million of market capitalization, a distribution few tokens at this size can match, on mint WENWENvqqNya429ubCdR81ZmD69brwQaaBYY6p3LCpk.
Read the holder figure with its history in mind, though: an airdropped base counts everyone who ever claimed, active or not. The holder-count benchmarks guide explains why an airdrop-born 200K reads differently from 200K bought positions. What the count does establish is that no small group controls the float — the creator wallet itself holds 0.74% in this snapshot, well under the flag line.
LUSD
LUSD at 0xc40f949f8a4e094d1b49a23ea9241d289b7b2819 is the Optimism-bridged deployment of Liquity's USD — the dollar whose Ethereum original is famously immutable, which makes the local contract posture here the detail that matters. The September 26, 2026 snapshot prices the 110.4 thousand local units at $109.9 thousand fully diluted, inside the asset-wide $26.0 million market cap.
Unlike the governance-free Ethereum contract, this bridged deployment — 1,566 days into its record — still holds an active mint authority and new supply can be minted. Freeze authority is revoked, and it is not a proxy. The book is nearly dormant: $95.8 thousand of thin tracked depth on $689 of 24-hour volume, with 6,714 holders whose ten largest wallets hold 82.0% of supply.

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.
