What the data says
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."
WLD
Before the market numbers, there's a contract detail on WLD to flag. Right now WLD's contract keeps its mint function (2026-09-27 snapshot), so whoever holds it can create new supply at any point. Read the rest of the page with that in mind — it's why WLD is at C (67/100) as of 2026-09-27, with real room to improve.
On the trading data, WLD shows thin liquidity of $140.93K and a holder base of 63,635 as of 2026-09-27. Against a market cap near $2.05B, that $140.93K of liquidity is the real constraint here: a pool this shallow relative to the cap makes slippage, not the contract, the thing to plan around. A 63,635-holder base is a fair start, but distribution matters more than the count — check how much sits in the largest wallets before leaning on it. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of WLD as of 2026-09-27, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.

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, 2026-09-27→2026-09-27T21:19:38; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
