What the data says
SOL
Wrapped SOL is the one token on this site that is barely a token at all. SOL itself — the coin that pays for every transaction on Solana — is not an SPL token, so any program that expects the SPL standard works with this wrapper instead: one wSOL always represents one SOL, held in a token account you can unwrap back to native SOL at any moment. When a DEX route, a lending pool, or a liquidity pair says "SOL," this mint — So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 — is almost always what it means under the hood.
The safety read here is about as clean as the format allows, and for a structural reason rather than a flattering one. As of the October 6, 2026 snapshot both the mint authority and the freeze authority read revoked: nobody can print unbacked wSOL, and nobody can freeze a wallet's balance. That isn't a team making good choices — it's baked into how the wrapper works, which is exactly why wrapped SOL is the reference point other tokens get measured against. The snapshot puts roughly 3.82 million holders on the mint and about $960 million of tracked liquidity, numbers no ordinary SPL token approaches.
MORPHO
MORPHO is the Morpho protocol's token — and Morpho is one of the most-used lending primitives in DeFi: isolated lending markets that other platforms (including Coinbase's cbBTC-backed loans) build on top of rather than competing with. The contract 0xbaa5cc21fd487b8fcc2f632f3f4e8d37262a0842 is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $2.0 million of pool liquidity as of October 9, 2026.
The honest shape: MORPHO is a governance-and-alignment token on genuinely deep infrastructure — the protocol's TVL is real, the integrations are real — but the token itself was transfer-restricted at launch and unlocks later, so the float-vs-FDV gap and the token's actual claim on protocol growth are the two numbers to watch. Real product, thin float — that combination cuts both ways.
FAQ
Which is bigger, SOL or MORPHO?
By tracked market cap: SOL (Solana) measures $70.79B and MORPHO (Base) measures $1.67B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, SOL or MORPHO?
On the contract checks we publish: SOL (Solana) grades A and MORPHO (Base) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have SOL and MORPHO performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show SOL at +1.02% and MORPHO at −13.1%.
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→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
