What the data says
W
W is the governance token of Wormhole, the cross-chain messaging protocol whose bridge carries a large share of Solana's wrapped-asset traffic — launched in an April 2024 multichain airdrop that ranks among the era's largest. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads roughly $79.6 million of circulating market capitalization across 97,156 Solana holders on mint 85VBFQZC9TZkfaptBWjvUw7YbZjy52A6mjtPGjstQAmQ.
The supply picture has two layers. On-chain, both authorities are revoked and the creator-associated wallet holds under 0.01% — the SPL-level mechanics are fully clean. Above that sits the tokenomics layer: fully diluted value reads about $122.0 million against the $79.6 million circulating, so roughly a third of eventual supply is still locked and scheduled to arrive. Contract cleanliness and unlock pressure are different facts, and W carries the first without escaping the second.
NST
NST at 0x88a269df8fe7f53e590c561954c52fccc8ec0cfb — Ninja Squad Token — is an Arbitrum asset 911 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot. The asset-wide $16.6 million market cap sits above the $7.5 million fully-diluted figure priced on 3.8 million local units.
The local book is workable against the slice: $194.0 thousand of tracked depth on $29.5 thousand of 24-hour volume. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
FAQ
Which is bigger, W or NST?
By tracked market cap: W (Solana) measures $79.64M and NST (Arbitrum) measures $16.61M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, W or NST?
On the contract checks we publish: W (Solana) grades A and NST (Arbitrum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have W and NST performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-17T06:15:22, the measured snapshots show W at +23.4% and NST at −8.41%.
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→2026-10-17T06:15:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
