What the data says
AUSD
AUSD is Agora's institutional dollar — a stablecoin built for treasury-grade backing (State Street custodian, VanEck management) that targets the same regulated-treasury ground as USDC and PYUSD. The deployment 0x00000000efe302beaa2b3e6e1b18d08d69a9012a is the Monad deployment — the same multichain address AUSD uses on every chain it lands on; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $2 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest shape: AUSD competes on custody pedigree rather than yield gimmicks — which means its risk profile is the boring kind (issuer solvency, attestation cadence, redemption terms) that is easier to verify but no smaller for being verifiable. AUSD also exists on Solana under a different mint; this Monad deployment carries the same canonical multichain address as its siblings.
MON
This row tracks MON — Monad's native token — under the all-zeroes placeholder 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 that DEX data uses for a chain's native asset. The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $1.6 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.
The honest definitional note is the same as on ethereum and arbitrum: MON is the chain's native asset, so there is no mint contract to audit — the checks on this page describe the pools it trades against, not the token. What MON is worth is a question about whether Monad's parallel-EVM thesis (Solana-class speed on EVM semantics) wins real orderflow — the row measures the pools, not the thesis.
FAQ
Which is bigger, AUSD or MON?
By tracked market cap: AUSD (Monad) measures $176.59M and MON (Monad) measures $2.46B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, AUSD or MON?
On the contract checks we publish: AUSD (Monad) grades B and MON (Monad) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have AUSD and MON performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-15 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show AUSD at +0.19% and MON at +8.77%.
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, 2026-09-15→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
