What the data says
USDU
USDu is a Solana stablecoin in the crowded mid-cap tier — the mint 9ckR7pPPvyPadACDTzLwK2ZAEeUJ3qGSnzPs8bVaHrSy graded A on this index's contract checks, with September 26, 2026 snapshot liquidity of $1.7 million.
The honest note for a minor stable is always the same: the contract being clean is necessary and nowhere near sufficient — what matters is who backs the peg, and for a small issuer that's an off-chain question with a much shorter inspection history than the majors'. The depth is real; the reserve is the question.
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.

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→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
