What the data says
AUSD
AUSD is Agora's institutional dollar — a stablecoin built for treasury-grade backing (State Street custodian, VanEck management) that targets the same regulated-treasury ground as USDC and PYUSD. The deployment 0x00000000efe302beaa2b3e6e1b18d08d69a9012a is the Monad deployment — the same multichain address AUSD uses on every chain it lands on; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $2 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest shape: AUSD competes on custody pedigree rather than yield gimmicks — which means its risk profile is the boring kind (issuer solvency, attestation cadence, redemption terms) that is easier to verify but no smaller for being verifiable. AUSD also exists on Solana under a different mint; this Monad deployment carries the same canonical multichain address as its siblings.
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.
FAQ
Which is bigger, AUSD or MUSD?
By tracked market cap: AUSD (Monad) measures $176.59M and MUSD (Monad) measures $37.66M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, AUSD or MUSD?
On the contract checks we publish: AUSD (Monad) grades B and MUSD (Monad) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have AUSD and MUSD performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-15 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show AUSD at +0.19% and MUSD at +0.12%.
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.
