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 October 6, 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.
MNT
Mantle's MNT on Solana — the bridged claim on the governance/gas token of the Mantle Ethereum L2 — at mint 4SoQ8UkWfeDH47T56PA53CZCeW4KytYCiU65CwBWoJUt. The October 6, 2026 snapshot shows about $295 thousand of liquidity and roughly 701 holders.
MNT the asset is a real mid-cap L2 token — Mantle runs one of the larger Ethereum rollups, born from the BitDAO treasury, with the token doing gas and governance duty. The Solana version is a bridge claim; the canonical asset is ERC-20 and its real markets are on Mantle/Ethereum/CEXs.
FAQ
Which is bigger, HNT or MNT?
By tracked market cap: HNT (Solana) measures $97.21M and MNT (Solana) measures $3.19M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, HNT or MNT?
On the contract checks we publish: HNT (Solana) grades A and MNT (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have HNT and MNT performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show HNT at −25.3% and MNT at −14.4%.
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→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
