What the data says
PAXG
PAXG is Paxos's tokenized gold — each token a claim on one fine troy ounce held in LBMA vaults in London, making it the most direct on-chain gold exposure in this index. The deployment 0x45804880de22913dafe09f4980848ece6ecbaf78 is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $20.9 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest frame is the custodial one: a PAXG is only as good as Paxos's vault attestations and redemption rails — Paxos is a NYDFS-regulated trust, which puts this in the "institutional-grade claim" bucket alongside USDC rather than the commodity-fantasy bucket — but it is still a claim, and redemption has minimums most wallets will never meet. The token tracks spot gold minus the custody premium; what it cannot track is the deep liquidity of actual gold markets.
VVV
VVV is Venice.ai's token — Erik Voorhees' uncensored-AI platform, where staking VVV buys a share of the platform's inference capacity rather than a pure governance claim. The contract 0xacfe6019ed1a7dc6f7b508c02d1b04ec88cc21bf is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $18.9 million of pool liquidity as of October 9, 2026.
The honest read: VVV is unusual among AI tokens for having a concrete utility loop — stake, get API quota — so its demand partly tracks actual inference usage rather than pure narrative. The counterweights are the usual: a single-platform dependency, and the fact that "uncensored" positioning is both the moat and the regulatory question. A utility token on a real product is still a utility token.

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→2026-10-26T21:16:29; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
