What the data says
GMON
gMON at 0x8498312a6b3cbd158bf0c93abdcf29e6e4f55081 is a Monad liquid-staking receipt — the yield-bearing claim on staked MON — 293 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot. The $2.3 million market cap sits above a $980.3 thousand fully-diluted figure on 38.3 million units.
The book is deep for the slice: $322.9 thousand of tracked depth against a $196 daily volume — receipts like this do their real mint-and-redeem through the staking contract, leaving the pool for marginal flow. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
SHMON
shMON at 0x1b68626dca36c7fe922fd2d55e4f631d962de19c — ShMonad — is Monad's liquid-staking receipt: the token that represents staked MON and accrues the staking yield in its exchange rate rather than in rebased balances. The October 9, 2026 snapshot prices a $7.6 million market cap across 206.8 million units, 299 days into the record.
The book is workable for the chain's scale: $251.0 thousand of tracked depth on $15.6 thousand of daily volume — a quiet book typical of a staking receipt, whose holders mostly mint and redeem through the staking contract rather than trading the pool. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.

How have GMON and SHMON performed over the shared window?

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, 2026-09-21→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
