What the data says
CRED
CRED is Credible Finance's token — a MetaDAO launchpad issue, which you can read off the mint itself: CREDBHvVqREBCAxMihzr8D1nepHMr2gmQoZWpmgGmeta carries the "meta" suffix that marks a futarchy-governed launch, meaning treasury decisions route through prediction markets rather than a founder's multisig. Our September 26, 2026 read shows $14.1 million market cap, $1.1 million of pool liquidity, and 2,063 holders.
The honest note: the launchpad governance is a real structural difference — treasury moves need a market to approve them — but the holder count is thin for the cap, which is the number that decides whether this is a community or a book. Watch distribution before size.
LDO
LDO is Lido DAO's governance token — the vote share over the largest staking pool in crypto, the operator set behind stETH and wstETH (both covered separately in this corpus). The contract 0x5a98fcbea516cf06857215779fd812ca3bef1b32 is the canonical deployment; our September 27, 2026 read shows $1.1 million of tracked pool liquidity at a $0.39 handle.
The honest mechanics: LDO is governance, not cash flow — it doesn't pay you a share of Lido's fee revenue, it buys influence over who gets to run validators and what the treasury does. Its risk is its dominance: Lido's share of staked ETH is large enough that regulators and the Ethereum community itself periodically debate capping it, and that debate is the LDO chart. A governance token on the biggest single point of staking centralization is a strange asset — know that is what it is.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-27; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
