What the data says
MUSD
MUSD — MetaMask's USD — is the wallet's own stablecoin: a dollar token aimed at the place its users already live, issued through the M0 infrastructure stack and meant to move between chains as one instrument. The deployment at 0xaca92e438df0b2401ff60da7e4337b687a2435da is on Monad, where our October 9, 2026 snapshot shows $1.7 million of tracked pool liquidity — among the deepest pools we measured on the chain.
What to be honest about: a wallet-issued stablecoin's strength is distribution — every MetaMask user is one tap from it — and its risk is concentration in the issuer's own stack. Backing, redemption and chain-deploy mechanics live with M0 and the contracts behind this address; our snapshot did not assess this deployment's contract-level controls, so the live scan is the place to verify before treating the label as the substance.
MON
This row tracks MON — Monad's native token — under the all-zeroes placeholder 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 that DEX data uses for a chain's native asset. The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $1.6 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.
The honest definitional note is the same as on ethereum and arbitrum: MON is the chain's native asset, so there is no mint contract to audit — the checks on this page describe the pools it trades against, not the token. What MON is worth is a question about whether Monad's parallel-EVM thesis (Solana-class speed on EVM semantics) wins real orderflow — the row measures the pools, not the thesis.
FAQ
Which is bigger, MUSD or MON?
By tracked market cap: MUSD (Monad) measures $37.66M and MON (Monad) measures $2.46B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, MUSD or MON?
On the contract checks we publish: MUSD (Monad) grades B and MON (Monad) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have MUSD and MON performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-15 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show MUSD at +0.12% and MON at +8.77%.
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, 2026-09-15→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
