What the data says
MESA
MESA — "Black Mesa Research Facility" on Solana, mint 5wVtfsFhLjxm27K9mN3ziYWCCpQwXXq7HWUiRMW7pump — is the Half-Life meme token: Black Mesa is the fictional lab where Half-Life's resonance cascade happened — gaming's most famous fictional facility. Its linked site is a YouTube channel doing in-character Black Mesa content. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $107 thousand across 2,540 holders — on a +10.0% day.
The tape is a green candle with real traffic: ~$18 thousand of daily volume on $28 thousand — a 0.7x turnover day. ~$45 of cap per wallet is a mid file; dev wallet 0.23%. Mint and freeze revoked.
LION
LION gets the fundamentals right where it counts most: the contract itself. The contract cannot mint new supply, so the float can't be diluted, and it can't pause transfers or blacklist wallets either, so your tokens stay yours to move and sell. Neither lever existing is the main reason LION's 100/100 comes down to market factors, not contract ones (2026-10-09).
Looking at the market data, LION shows $1.07M of on-chain liquidity, a holder base of 10,332 and an established 585-day history as of 2026-10-09. Against a market cap of about $42.48M, the $1.07M pool is workable rather than deep — fine for ordinary size to move in and out, though a larger position would start to feel the pool's edges. The 10,332-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. Reassuringly, the wallet that created LION holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-10-09 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.
FAQ

Which is safer, MESA or LION?

How have MESA and LION performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-17T06:15:22, the measured snapshots show MESA at −9.86% and LION at −9.33%.
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, 2026-10-09→2026-10-17T06:15:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
