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.
POL
POL — 0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 — is the Polygon Ecosystem Token, the successor asset that replaced MATIC as Polygon's gas and staking token in the network's 2024 upgrade.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $1.1 billion market cap, fully circulating against an equal FDV, with 105,309 holders. Tracked on-chain depth runs $49.8 thousand — POL's liquidity is overwhelmingly on centralized venues and its home chain, not the pools this ledger prices. The day prints -1.6%.

How have SPONGE and POL performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-28 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show SPONGE at +12.4% and POL at −21.9%.
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, 2026-09-28→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
