What the data says
LDO
LDO is Lido DAO's governance token — the vote share over the largest staking pool in crypto, the operator set behind stETH and wstETH (both covered separately in this corpus). The contract 0x5a98fcbea516cf06857215779fd812ca3bef1b32 is the canonical deployment; our October 9, 2026 read shows $992 thousand of tracked pool liquidity at a $0.39 handle.
The honest mechanics: LDO is governance, not cash flow — it doesn't pay you a share of Lido's fee revenue, it buys influence over who gets to run validators and what the treasury does. Its risk is its dominance: Lido's share of staked ETH is large enough that regulators and the Ethereum community itself periodically debate capping it, and that debate is the LDO chart. A governance token on the biggest single point of staking centralization is a strange asset — know that is what it is.
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.
FAQ
Which is bigger, LDO or ATH?
By tracked market cap: LDO (Ethereum) measures $348.19M and ATH (Polygon) measures — — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, LDO or ATH?
On the contract checks we publish: LDO (Ethereum) grades B and ATH (Polygon) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have LDO and ATH performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show LDO at −7.47% and ATH at +0.54%.
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.
