What the data says
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 $36.0 million across 1,182,333 wallets on the October 9, 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 $723.3 thousand is thin against the cap.
DESPXA
This is the DeFi Janus Henderson Anemoy S&P 500 Fund Token — a tokenized claim on an S&P 500 fund issued under Janus Henderson's Anemoy unit, the TradFi giant's on-chain fund arm. The contract 0x9c5c365e764829876243d0b289733b9d2b729685 is the Base deployment; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $711 thousand of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest frame is the RWA one: a tokenized S&P 500 fund is a claim on a regulated issuer's book — the equity exposure is real, the wrapper is the issuer's, and the holder's risk is the fund's terms (redemption windows, transfer restrictions, qualified-investor gates) more than the token's contract state. On-chain depth for such products understates the product — most holders never trade them on DEXes.
FAQ

Which is safer, DEGEN or DESPXA?

How have DEGEN and DESPXA performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show DEGEN at −16.7% and DESPXA at −0.78%.
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→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
