What the data says
HNT
HNT is one of the few tokens on this site attached to something you can photograph: hundreds of thousands of physical Helium hotspots providing IoT and mobile wireless coverage, earning tokens for verified work. The network launched its own blockchain in 2019 and migrated wholesale to Solana in April 2023 — one of the largest chain migrations ever completed — where the mint hntyVP6YFm1Hg25TN9WGLqM12b8TQmcknKrdu1oxWux now carries roughly $97.2 million of market capitalization across 537,762 holders as of HostDeFi's September 26, 2026 snapshot.
The authority read needs its context. Freeze authority: revoked — no one can lock a holder's balance. Mint authority: not the burned-forever state a memecoin checklist wants, and correctly so, because HNT's supply is emissive by design: the protocol mints new HNT on a public issuance schedule with halvings (most recently August 2025), paying hotspot operators for coverage, under a hard cap of 223 million. Like a liquid-staking token, the mint lever here belongs to the protocol's own program doing its documented job — the question to monitor is governance over that program, not the lever's existence.
GNO
There's a lot to like about how GNO's contract is set up. Nobody can print fresh supply, which keeps every holder's share intact, and balances can't be frozen or blacklisted, so you stay in control of your own tokens. That leaves GNO at a healthy 100/100 as of 2026-09-27, with only normal market risk left to price in.
Market-wise, GNO carries thin liquidity of $299.79K and 20,216 wallets holding as of 2026-09-27. Against a market cap near $315.53M, that $299.79K of liquidity is the real constraint here: a pool this shallow relative to the cap makes slippage, not the contract, the thing to plan around. 20,216 holders is a decent base; just remember the number alone doesn't reveal how much the top wallets control, so weigh it with the concentration figure. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of GNO as of 2026-09-27, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.

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, 2026-09-27→2026-09-27T21:19:38; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
