What the data says
COMP
COMP — 0xc00e94cb662c3520282e6f5717214004a7f26888 — is Compound's governance token, the asset that put "governance token" into the DeFi vocabulary when its 2020 distribution kicked off the yield-farming era. Ten million units exist, ever; the contract's mint and freeze switches are both renounced, which for a governance token is exactly the posture a buyer wants to see.
The September 27, 2026 snapshot reads a $243.9 million market cap — essentially equal to FDV, since supply is fully circulating — against $4.4 million of tracked pool depth and 220,085 holders. Volume is modest relative to the cap; COMP's market lives partly on centralized venues, so the on-chain depth understates total exit capacity.
GULD
GULD is a gold-themed Ethereum token — the name suggests the same tokenized-gold ambition as PAXG's class, at a fraction of the depth. The contract 0x14d6c649292c5c9790c5196d1a9ea039307947a1 carries October 6, 2026 snapshot liquidity of $3.4 million.
The honest caveat for the name: gold branding on a token proves nothing about gold backing — PAXG's claim is a regulated NYDFS trust with LBMA vaults; a small "gold" token's claim is whatever its issuer says it is. Whether GULD is a genuine metal-backed asset or a theme coin trading on the ticker is exactly what the contract and issuer checks exist to resolve.
FAQ
Which is bigger, COMP or GULD?
By tracked market cap: COMP (Ethereum) measures $238.71M and GULD (Ethereum) measures $37.17M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, COMP or GULD?

How have COMP and GULD performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-27 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show COMP at −8.68% and GULD at −0.22%.
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, 2026-09-27→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
