What the data says
SPONGE
Sponge on Polygon carries the name of the multi-chain SPONGE meme franchise, and this deployment has been live for 960 days with 80,269 holders — a genuinely wide base for a token this size. The market structure is modest: $11 thousand of liquidity against a market cap of $318 thousand, workable for everyday trades but thin for anything that rivals the pool.
The grade D at 51/100 is earned on controls, not size. The contract cannot mint, but it retains a pause-or-blacklist lever — balances can be frozen — and the owner is hidden, meaning control exists but is obscured behind the contract. The creator wallet also holds 5.33% of supply, just over the 5% line scanners flag. For a nearly three-year-old meme token with eighty thousand holders, those are not fatal marks — but they are real custody powers held by an unidentified party.
APEPE
Ape and Pepe is a supply-scale meme that has been running for 1,201 days — 210 trillion units priced at a fraction of a cent, producing a headline market cap of $259.2 million distributed across 416,143 Polygon wallets. The contract side is clean at 85/100: no mint, no pause or blacklist, verified source, creator under 0.01%.
The number to sit with is the pool: $5 thousand of tracked liquidity against a quarter-billion-dollar notional cap. That is a 57,000:1 ratio between claimed valuation and exit depth — the arithmetic is real (price times 209,999,999,998,990 units) but the tradable reality is that the pool is the market, and it is microscopic. The 416,143-holder base — one of the widest on Polygon — reads less like organic demand and more like dust-scale distribution across years of airdrop and farm mechanics.

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.
