What the data says
ERN
ERN — the Ethos Reserve Note — is a 1,060-day-old Optimism stablecoin-era asset at 0xc5b001dc33727f8f26880b184090d3e252470d45, and it prints the batch's worst score: the contract can mint new supply, can pause transfers or blacklist wallets, and the owner can change balances outright — with the owner hidden to boot.
The market has long since repriced the trust: a $2.2 million market cap against $14.7 thousand of tracked liquidity and $356 of daily volume — a vestige book where 1,965 wallets hold residual positions while the top ten control 72.5% of supply. The stablecoin thesis behind ERN is a documented DeFi story; the contract levers recorded here are the snapshot's own read.
GTC
GTC on Optimism at 0x1eba7a6a72c894026cd654ac5cdcf83a46445b08 wears the Gitcoin governance token's ticker, but the contract behind this address is the opposite of what that name implies: it can mint new supply, and — the power that earns the grade — the contract owner can change balances outright, meaning a holder's balance could be altered or zeroed without any transaction from that holder.
Everything else is secondary to that lever. A $12 thousand pool is thin and fragile; the ten largest wallets hold about 95.2% of supply; the book is 1,569 days old with 10,146 wallets and a $47 thousand cap at the September 27, 2026 snapshot.

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, 2026-09-26→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
