What the data says
LIT
LIT is Lighter's token — the equity of one of the higher-volume perpetual DEXes running, a zk-rollup venue that settles Ethereum-grade while quoting like a centralized exchange. The contract 0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 is the deployment our scan tracks, at $2.0 million of pool liquidity as of October 6, 2026.
The honest read: the venue is real — Lighter has sat near the top of perp-DEX volume rankings — and the question is the standard one for fresh exchange tokens: how much of the venue's economics actually accrue to the token, and what the post-airdrop float looks like as unlocks land. Volume is the claim; the token's claim on it is what to verify.
FET
FET — 0xaea46a60368a7bd060eec7df8cba43b7ef41ad85 — is Fetch.ai's token, mid-merger: Fetch, SingularityNET and Ocean Protocol are combining into the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI), with FET as the merge's surviving ticker at the first stage. Holding this contract today means holding an asset whose own alliance is re-denominating it — liquidity, branding and mindshare are all in transit.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $510.2 million market cap against an $599.2 million FDV — most supply circulating — with $1.7 million of tracked pool depth and 165,300 holders. Workable depth for a mid-cap, though the market's real center of gravity sits on centralized venues during the migration.

How have LIT and FET performed over the shared window?

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, 2026-09-27→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
