What the data says
JUP
JUP is the governance token of Jupiter, the aggregator that routes the majority of Solana's swap volume — including, full disclosure, many of the swaps on this site. That makes it one of the few large Solana tokens whose underlying "business" is directly observable on-chain: every day's routed volume is public, and the token's relevance rises and falls with it. As of the October 6, 2026 snapshot, JUP carries roughly $1.1 billion of market capitalization across 838,886 holders at mint JUPyiwrYJFskUPiHa7hkeR8VUtAeFoSYbKedZNsDvCN.
The structural read is clean: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked. No one can inflate the supply by fiat and no one can lock a holder's tokens — the two failure modes that account for most of the wreckage this site catalogues. Distribution is genuinely broad; an 800-thousand-wallet base came from one of the largest airdrop programs in Solana's history, which spread ownership widely but also created recurring, scheduled moments of sell pressure as later distribution rounds unlocked. Supply events like that are public calendar items, not hidden risks, but they are worth knowing about before reading any chart move as organic.
POPCAT
POPCAT turned a 2020 clicking meme into one of Solana's defining cat coins of the 2024 cycle, and unlike most of that cohort it is still here. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads roughly $57.2 million of market capitalization with 142,791 holders on mint 7GCihgDB8fe6KNjn2MYtkzZcRjQy3t9GHdC8uHYmW2hr.
The contract passes both checks that decide whether a memecoin can hurt you structurally: the mint authority is revoked, so the supply that exists is the supply there will ever be, and the freeze authority is revoked, so a holder can always sell into whatever market exists. That pair is the floor of the 100/100 grade — everything above the floor is market judgment, not contract fact.
FAQ
Which is bigger, JUP or POPCAT?
By tracked market cap: JUP (Solana) measures $1.15B and POPCAT (Solana) measures $57.25M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, JUP or POPCAT?
On the contract checks we publish: JUP (Solana) grades A and POPCAT (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have JUP and POPCAT performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-17T00:15:22, the measured snapshots show JUP at +25.2% and POPCAT at −8.86%.
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→2026-10-17T00:15:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
