What the data says
LDO
LDO is Lido DAO's governance token — the vote share over the largest staking pool in crypto, the operator set behind stETH and wstETH (both covered separately in this corpus). The contract 0x5a98fcbea516cf06857215779fd812ca3bef1b32 is the canonical deployment; our September 27, 2026 read shows $1.1 million of tracked pool liquidity at a $0.39 handle.
The honest mechanics: LDO is governance, not cash flow — it doesn't pay you a share of Lido's fee revenue, it buys influence over who gets to run validators and what the treasury does. Its risk is its dominance: Lido's share of staked ETH is large enough that regulators and the Ethereum community itself periodically debate capping it, and that debate is the LDO chart. A governance token on the biggest single point of staking centralization is a strange asset — know that is what it is.
GRT
The most important thing to know about GRT is its authority setup. Right now GRT's contract keeps its mint function (2026-09-27 snapshot), so whoever holds it can create new supply at any point. It's the main reason the read sits at 61/100 (grade C) today — and the clearest path to a higher grade is simply removing it.
By the numbers, GRT is showing thin liquidity of $128.33K and 171,927 wallets holding as of 2026-09-27. Set the $128.33K pool against roughly $313.95M in market cap and the picture sharpens — depth is shallow for the size, so trades move the price more than the chart suggests and getting out cleanly takes care. With 171,927 holders, ownership is spread wide — the opposite of the handful-of-wallets setup that lets one seller steer the price. Reassuringly, the wallet that created GRT holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-09-27 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.

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.
