What the data says
SMON
Kintsu Staked Monad is a liquid staking token — sMON is Kintsu's receipt for staked MON, meant to accrue staking yield while staying tradable. That makes it structurally different from the memes around it on Monad: its market cap of $1.2 million represents staked principal, and its 4,846 holders are yield positions, not speculation.
Two caveats earn the B at 77/100. First, the contract is an upgradeable proxy — the code behind the address can be swapped — which is standard for LSTs (the protocol must manage staking logic) but means you are trusting Kintsu's upgrade governance. Second, contract-level controls were not fully assessed in this snapshot. The market side is thin for the size: $2 thousand of tracked pool against a $2.2M cap, so secondary-market exits are shallow — meaningful size unwinds through the protocol's redemption path, not the pool.
MUSD
One detail on MUSD didn't fully resolve in the 2026-10-09 snapshot: its contract controls. So rather than assume anything either way, it's worth a direct check, and the scanner above reads it live in a couple of seconds before you trade.
Here's where MUSD stands today: workable liquidity of $417.40K and a maturing record at 169 days as of 2026-10-09. The $417.40K pool against a ~$37.78M cap is a middling ratio — enough for typical trades to clear, but worth respecting if you're trading size. The creator's own position is small — <0.01% of supply as of 2026-10-09, comfortably under the 5% line the scanners flag — which is what you want to see.

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, 2026-10-09→2026-11-14T21:16:23; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
