What the data says
MET
MET is the token of Meteora — one of Solana's core liquidity venues, whose DLMM pools and launch infrastructure carry a large share of the chain's trading flow. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $198.3 million across 44,709 wallets on mint METvsvVRapdj9cFLzq4Tr43xK4tAjQfwX76z3n6mWQL.
This is an infrastructure asset: Meteora's pools are where much of Solana's volume actually clears, and MET is a claim on the durability of that franchise. Unlike meme neighbors on this list, the thesis is measurable — volume share, fee flows, pool count.
TRX
TRX on Solana is Tron's native token bridged to this chain — a claim on the TRON network's asset that circulates here as a bridged mint rather than the original. The deployment GbbesPbaYh5uiAZSYNXTc7w9jty1rpg3P9L4JeN4LkKc is the Solana representation; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $4.6 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest two-layer note: a bridged TRX inherits both the bridge's custody and the asset underneath — TRON's token, whose own value rides on a chain mostly used for stablecoin settlement in corridors this index doesn't measure. The A grade covers the Solana-side mint; the claim it wraps is a chain-hop away.
FAQ
Which is bigger, MET or TRX?
By tracked market cap: MET (Solana) measures $198.32M and TRX (Solana) measures $16.88M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, MET or TRX?
On the contract checks we publish: MET (Solana) grades A and TRX (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have MET and TRX performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show MET at +86.5% and TRX at −0.96%.
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.
