What the data says
ALCH
ALCH is Alchemist AI's token — a no-code "describe an app, get an app" AI builder whose token launched on pump.fun and grew into one of the better-distributed AI tokens on Solana — mint HNg5PYJmtqcmzXrv6S9zP1CDKk5BgDuyFBxbvNApump. Our September 16, 2026 read shows $33.7 million market cap, $1.3 million of pool liquidity, and 26,872 holders.
The honest note: unlike most AI-ticker tokens, there is a shipping product behind this one — the differentiator to watch is whether the builder's usage and the token's value are actually connected (subscription or burn mechanics rather than pure narrative). At this size, the holders are the asset and the product is the claim.
BAN
BAN (Comedian) is the memecoin of the duct-taped banana — Maurizio Cattelan's artwork that sold for millions and made "the banana on the wall" a global joke; the token is the market-traded version of that joke, a pump.fun-origin coin at mint 9PR7nCP9DpcUotnDPVLUBUZKu5WAYkwrCUx9wDnSpump. Our September 16, 2026 read shows $63.1 million market cap against $1.4 million of pool liquidity and 27,058 holders.
The honest shape: BAN is a real, widely-recognized meme — the artwork's buyer was Justin Sun, who ate it — but recognizability is the asset, not a moat. The market-cap-to-liquidity ratio (roughly 46:1) is the number that matters: the exit door is a small fraction of the paper value, which is the standard honest caveat for every meme at this size.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
