What the data says
XAUT0
XAUT0 is the omnichain version of Tether Gold — XAUT bridged onto Solana through the OFT standard so one token represents a claim on a London-vaulted gold ounce. The mint AymATz4TCL9sWNEEV9Kvyz45CHVhDZ6kUgjTJPzLpU9P is what our scan tracks: $9.0 million market cap, $310 thousand of liquidity and 5,868 holders as of October 6, 2026.
The custody stack is the honest part: token, bridge representation, Tether's issuance, vaulted gold — four layers between you and metal. That is standard for tokenized commodities, and Tether Gold is the incumbent of the category, but it means the claim's quality depends on the issuer's attestations and the bridge's security alike. Priced near spot gold, the premium-or-discount to XAU is the figure to watch.
HNT
HNT is one of the few tokens on this site attached to something you can photograph: hundreds of thousands of physical Helium hotspots providing IoT and mobile wireless coverage, earning tokens for verified work. The network launched its own blockchain in 2019 and migrated wholesale to Solana in April 2023 — one of the largest chain migrations ever completed — where the mint hntyVP6YFm1Hg25TN9WGLqM12b8TQmcknKrdu1oxWux now carries roughly $97.2 million of market capitalization across 537,762 holders as of HostDeFi's October 6, 2026 snapshot.
The authority read needs its context. Freeze authority: revoked — no one can lock a holder's balance. Mint authority: not the burned-forever state a memecoin checklist wants, and correctly so, because HNT's supply is emissive by design: the protocol mints new HNT on a public issuance schedule with halvings (most recently August 2025), paying hotspot operators for coverage, under a hard cap of 223 million. Like a liquid-staking token, the mint lever here belongs to the protocol's own program doing its documented job — the question to monitor is governance over that program, not the lever's existence.

How have XAUT0 and HNT performed over the shared window?

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.
