What the data says
META
META is MetaDAO's token — the project that put futarchy (governance by prediction market) into real production on Solana: proposals pass or fail on whether a market prices the token higher with them, and the DAO's launchpad issues new projects under the same structure — you can spot those mints by the "meta" suffix this address itself carries, METAwkXcqyXKy1AtsSgJ8JiUHwGCafnZL38n3vYmeta. Our September 26, 2026 read shows $141.6 million market cap, $1.6 million of pool liquidity, and 6,682 holders.
The honest read: MetaDAO is one of the genuinely novel governance experiments running — futarchy has decades of academic lineage and this is its most concrete deployment. The token's bet is that governance-by-market out-allocates founder governance; the honest risks are the thin holder count for its market cap and that market-based governance can still be cornered by a deep-pocketed participant.
GHO
GHO is Aave's native stablecoin — minted against collateral deposited in the Aave protocol, with its monetary policy governed by Aave governance. The contract 0x40d16fc0246ad3160ccc09b8d0d3a2cd28ae6c2f is what our scan tracks: $26.5 million of pool liquidity as of September 26, 2026, trading essentially at its dollar peg.
The honest mechanics: GHO is overcollateralized-debt stablecoin design — borrowers mint it against Aave collateral, so its backing is the health of Aave's markets rather than a bank account. Peg deviations are the figure to watch: a stablecoin that trades below peg is the market pricing the collateral-and-arbitrage machinery's speed, and GHO's history includes real time spent under a dollar before stabilizers matured.

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