What the data says
XAUG
XAUG on Base — 0x08c5dd8b64ec620aa31914bba13984b57e40c30b — trades as "Lydia Gold" at $4,319.45, a price that tracks the spot ounce of gold almost exactly. Three days old in the November 4, 2026 snapshot: $268 thousand of liquidity, roughly $2.2 million of daily volume.
The XAU-prefixed ticker borrows the commodity code for gold, and the comparison it invites is XAUT — Tether's established tokenized gold. Lydia Gold is not that. The name, the price-pegging to spot, and the XAU prefix describe a commodity wrapper claim; whether any vaulted gold backs it is, as with every tokenized commodity, an off-chain question of issuer attestations that no pool figure can verify. The three-day age is the load-bearing fact: this is a brand-new instrument asking for commodity-grade trust.
DEGEN
DEGEN is the tipping token that grew out of Farcaster — the /degen channel's community currency that became one of the broadest token distributions on Base. The deployment at 0x4ed4e862860bed51a9570b96d89af5e1b0efefed prices a market cap of $31.8 million across 1,182,333 wallets on the November 6, 2026 snapshot — the widest holder base in this batch by a wide margin.
The distribution is what a social token should look like: the top ten wallets hold about 61.8% — concentrated but nothing like the 95%+ float the clone coins carry — and the creator wallet holds effectively nothing. The flagged lever is real though: the contract can still mint new supply, so the circulating figure is a floor, and the tracked pool of $267.8 thousand is thin against the cap.

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→2026-11-07T18:16:33; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
