What the data says
ATH
ATH — 0x6b998441f7349a7bfdbb2a6d61a6d5f9acb90de8 — is the Aegis token on Polygon, a ticket that carries the Greek word for shield. At 116 days old it is past the newborn phase where most tokens in this ledger die.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $870 thousand of tracked pool depth and 25,673 holders against a fully diluted valuation of $34.9 million — the market-cap field is empty in this read, so FDV is the honest size figure. Unit price prints near $20.39, down a fraction of a percent on the day.
AAVE
AAVE is the token of DeFi's biggest lending protocol — the asset that secures Aave's safety module and governs the money market that's been clearing loans continuously since ETHLend in 2017. The deployment 0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9 is the canonical mint; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $12.6 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — thin against a float that trades everywhere.
The honest shape: AAVE's thesis is unusually concrete for a governance token — stakers backstop protocol shortfalls with their own stake, so the token is literally collateral for the system's solvency, which ties its value to Aave's actual revenue and risk book rather than pure governance vibes. That makes it closer to a productive asset than most of this index — with the caveat that "productive" here still means "exposed to one protocol's loan book."
FAQ
Which is bigger, ATH or AAVE?
By tracked market cap: ATH (Polygon) measures — and AAVE (Ethereum) measures $2.79B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, ATH or AAVE?
On the contract checks we publish: ATH (Polygon) grades B and AAVE (Ethereum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have ATH and AAVE performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show ATH at +0.54% and AAVE at +3.58%.
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→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
