What the data says
MKR
MKR — 0x9f8f72aa9304c8b593d555f12ef6589cc3a579a2 — is MakerDAO's governance token, caught mid-story: the protocol rebranded to Sky and re-denominated its governance asset (MKR → SKY at 1:24,000) while both tickers trade. This row tracks the original MKR contract — still live, still convertible — which makes its snapshot numbers read strange to anyone who doesn't know the migration is running.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads an $146.8 million fully-diluted value and $1.3 million of tracked depth against 75,008 holders — and a top-10 concentration of 197%, a number that is impossible on its face. Concentration over 100% is not a hidden whale; it is the snapshot double-counting supply that is mid-migration between the two tickers, an honest artifact of measuring a token that is half-converted.
ASTEROID
ASTEROID — Asteroid Shiba on Ethereum, 0xf280b16ef293d8e534e370794ef26bf312694126 — is a two-year-old memecoin, and two years is a long life in dog-token time. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $1.3 million of liquidity against roughly $2.0 million of daily volume.
At 728 days, ASTEROID has outlived the window where the disposable scams die — and that is genuinely informative, because age is the one filter that can't be faked on-chain. A contract surviving two years of continuous trading has cleared the honeypot class of failure modes by definition: sells have been working for 728 days. What longevity does not clear is everything else — it remains a Shiba-themed asset priced in hundredths of a cent, subject to the same holder-concentration and liquidity-fragility questions as every memecoin.

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.
