What the data says
PRIME
PRIME on Solana is one of two rows this index tracks under that symbol — alongside the Ethereum deployment on its own page — and the mint 3b8X44fLF9ooXaUm3hhSgjpmVs6rZZ3pPoGnGahc3Uu7 is which chain you are actually looking at. Our September 16, 2026 snapshot reads $8.1 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest note is the sibling check: a shared ticker across chains usually means the same project bridged or two unrelated tokens sharing a name, and the contract address is what separates them — this page's figures are measured against this mint, not the name. Whatever the token's own claim is, the chain and address above are the identity to verify.
PAXG
PAXG is Paxos's tokenized gold — each token a claim on one fine troy ounce held in LBMA vaults in London, making it the most direct on-chain gold exposure in this index. The deployment 0x45804880de22913dafe09f4980848ece6ecbaf78 is the canonical mint; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $6.2 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest frame is the custodial one: a PAXG is only as good as Paxos's vault attestations and redemption rails — Paxos is a NYDFS-regulated trust, which puts this in the "institutional-grade claim" bucket alongside USDC rather than the commodity-fantasy bucket — but it is still a claim, and redemption has minimums most wallets will never meet. The token tracks spot gold minus the custody premium; what it cannot track is the deep liquidity of actual gold markets.

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→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
