What the data says
ARB
ARB is Arbitrum's own token — the governance asset of the largest Ethereum L2, the chain most of this index's Arbitrum-side liquidity actually lives on. The deployment 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548 is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $2.8 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest asymmetry: ARB's market value rides on the chain it governs being worth governing — the token's thesis is Arbitrum's sequencer revenue, its DAO treasury, and the chain's continued dominance in L2 DeFi, none of which a liquidity snapshot can confirm or deny. What the snapshot does show is that ARB's on-chain depth is concentrated and modest relative to the chain's own TVL — most ARB trades happen off-chain or on the chain's own DEX infrastructure in pairs this index doesn't fully see.
NEST
NEST is a mid-cap Solana token at mint 68Nq68CrtLVpyvK5Un7UADiNczaGf39hBbj3diRsYj6D. The October 6, 2026 snapshot shows about $213 thousand of liquidity, a market capitalization near $868 thousand, and roughly 2,592 holders.
A name note first: "Nest" is shared by several unrelated projects across chains — an RWA-vault brand, gaming tokens, and community coins all use it — so identity-by-ticker is useless here; the mint string is the only reliable handle on which NEST this is.
FAQ
Which is bigger, ARB or NEST?
By tracked market cap: ARB (Arbitrum) measures $1.22B and NEST (Solana) measures $868.42K — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, ARB or NEST?
On the contract checks we publish: ARB (Arbitrum) grades B and NEST (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have ARB and NEST performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-15 and 2026-10-17T06:15:22, the measured snapshots show ARB at +32.9% and NEST at −45.3%.
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, 2026-09-15→2026-10-17T06:15:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
