What the data says
INST
There's a small gap on this page — INST's contract flags weren't fully confirmed as of 2026-10-09. So it's best treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed clean, and the scanner above reads it live in a couple of seconds before you trade.
Looking at the market data, INST shows $634.32K of on-chain liquidity, 4,511 wallets holding and 1,702 days old as of 2026-10-09. The number worth sitting with is that $634.32K of depth against a market cap of about $166.93M — a thin pool for a token this size, which means a position that feels small to you can still be large for the pool: INST reprices on relatively little flow, and a sizable exit will slip. The 4,511-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. The creator's own position is small — <0.01% of supply as of 2026-10-09, comfortably under the 5% line the scanners flag — which is what you want to see.
TEL
TEL at 0xdf7837de1f2fa4631d716cf2502f8b230f1dcc32 is Telcoin's remittance asset in its PoS-bridged Polygon form — the payments token aimed at telecom corridors, carried to the chain where its retail flow actually trades. The October 6, 2026 snapshot prices a $191.4 million asset-wide market cap against a $75.2 million fully-diluted read of the local float — 38.3 billion units sitting on this chain.
The book is honest mid-cap shape: $553 thousand of tracked pool depth is workable for the size, on $72.2 thousand of 24-hour volume — a working tape rather than a churn chart. The deployment is 327 days into this index's record.

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, 2026-10-06→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
