What the data says
WCT
WCT is the WalletConnect network’s token — the asset behind the wallet-to-app relay nearly every Ethereum user has scanned a QR code to reach — carrying staking, fees and governance for the connector layer. The deployment at 0xef4461891dfb3ac8572ccf7c794664a8dd927945 is its Optimism home.
Our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads a $20.3 million market cap ($42.3 million fully-diluted on 980.2 million tokens) across 133,579 holders — but only $61.4 thousand of tracked pool liquidity and $3.1 thousand traded in the last day. The 79.6% top-ten share says most of the float is still parked with the project.
KNC
KNC at 0xa00e3a3511aac35ca78530c85007afcd31753819 — Kyber Network Crystal v2 — is the bridged Optimism deployment of the Kyber protocol's governance asset, 1,030 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot. The asset-wide $30.0 million market cap towers over a $61.2 thousand fully-diluted figure priced on 427.1 thousand local units.
The local book is thin to the point of nominal: $47.8 thousand of tracked depth on $406 of 24-hour volume — a slice that sees almost no trading on this chain. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
FAQ

Which is safer, WCT or KNC?

How have WCT and KNC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show WCT at +1.07% and KNC at −11.6%.
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.
