What the data says
LINK.E
LINK.E at 0x5947bb275c521040051d82396192181b413227a3 is the legacy Avalanche Bridge deployment of Chainlink's token — the ".e" suffix marking the older bridge's claim — 1,121 days into its record at the October 9, 2026 snapshot. The asset-wide $9.6 billion market cap dwarfs the $4.7 million fully-diluted figure priced on 365.7 thousand local units.
The local book is thin for the headline: $89.5 thousand of tracked depth on $72.6 thousand of 24-hour volume. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
BEAM
One detail on BEAM didn't fully resolve in the 2026-10-09 snapshot: its contract controls. So it's best treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed clean, and a quick live scan will confirm the current state for you.
Here's where BEAM stands today: a $61.76K pool, a holder base of 11,104 and an established record at 801 days as of 2026-10-09. Against a market cap near $133.79M, that $61.76K 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. The 11,104-wallet base is a reasonable spread of ownership, though a headline count doesn't show whether a few wallets dominate — the concentration read on this page speaks to that. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of BEAM as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.
FAQ

Which is safer, LINK.E or BEAM?

How have LINK.E and BEAM performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-06 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show LINK.E at −12.1% and BEAM at +20.7%.
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, 2026-10-06→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
