What the data says
LION
LION gets the fundamentals right where it counts most: the contract itself. The contract cannot mint new supply, so the float can't be diluted, and it can't pause transfers or blacklist wallets either, so your tokens stay yours to move and sell. Neither lever existing is the main reason LION's 100/100 comes down to market factors, not contract ones (2026-10-09).
Looking at the market data, LION shows $1.07M of on-chain liquidity, a holder base of 10,332 and an established 585-day history as of 2026-10-09. Against a market cap of about $42.48M, the $1.07M pool is workable rather than deep — fine for ordinary size to move in and out, though a larger position would start to feel the pool's edges. The 10,332-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. Reassuringly, the wallet that created LION holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-10-09 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.
XLM
There's one detail worth understanding before anything else on XLM. As of 2026-10-09, XLM's contract still holds a mint and freeze levers, leaving the deployer able to create new supply or freeze transfers for now. Read the rest of the page with that in mind — it's why XLM is at E (21/100) as of 2026-10-09, with real room to improve.
Market-wise, XLM carries workable liquidity of $62.40K, 4,134 holders and an established record at 1,677 days as of 2026-10-09. Depth like $62.40K matters most relative to your own trade size; it's what decides whether you exit at the price you see or slip on the way out. A 4,134-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. Reassuringly, the wallet that created XLM holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-10-09 — 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, 2026-10-09→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
