What the data says
EXA
EXA at 0x1e925de1c68ef83bd98ee3e130ef14a50309c01b — deployed under the lowercase name "exactly" — is the Optimism deployment of the Exactly protocol's asset, 1,156 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot. The $773.0 thousand market cap prices roughly half of the $1.5 million fully-diluted figure on 9.9 million units.
The book is deep for the small cap and the tape nearly still: $62.4 thousand of tracked depth on $1.0 thousand of 24-hour volume — a held float. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.

How have EXA and KNC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show EXA at +2.85% and KNC at −11.6%.
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.
