What the data says
SHIB
SHIBA INU at 0x95ad61b0a150d79219dcf64e1e6cc01f0b64c4ce is the original self-styled dogecoin killer on Ethereum and one of the widest-held tokens anywhere: 1,703,814 wallets at the October 9, 2026 snapshot. This page's job is less to explain a meme than to read a very large, very old market structure honestly.
The contract side is as clean as a token gets: it cannot mint new supply, cannot pause or blacklist transfers, the source is verified, and it sits on a major security registry's trust list. The creator wallet holds under 0.01% of supply. The honest caveat is market-side, not contract-side: $2.4 million of tracked liquidity against a $3.2 billion market cap is large in dollars but thin against the token's own size — size an exit against the pool, not the cap. The ten largest wallets hold about 64% of supply, heavy even for a top-cap meme.
LIT
LIT is Lighter's token — the equity of one of the higher-volume perpetual DEXes running, a zk-rollup venue that settles Ethereum-grade while quoting like a centralized exchange. The contract 0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 is the deployment our scan tracks, at $2.0 million of pool liquidity as of October 6, 2026.
The honest read: the venue is real — Lighter has sat near the top of perp-DEX volume rankings — and the question is the standard one for fresh exchange tokens: how much of the venue's economics actually accrue to the token, and what the post-airdrop float looks like as unlocks land. Volume is the claim; the token's claim on it is what to verify.

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→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
