What the data says
GTC
GTC on Optimism at 0x1eba7a6a72c894026cd654ac5cdcf83a46445b08 wears the Gitcoin governance token's ticker, but the contract behind this address is the opposite of what that name implies: it can mint new supply, and — the power that earns the grade — the contract owner can change balances outright, meaning a holder's balance could be altered or zeroed without any transaction from that holder.
Everything else is secondary to that lever. A $17 thousand pool is thin and fragile; the ten largest wallets hold about 95.2% of supply; the book is 1,569 days old with 10,070 wallets and a $90 thousand cap at the October 9, 2026 snapshot.
EURC
EURC is Circle's euro stablecoin on Base — the euro-denominated sibling of USDC, issued under the same regulated-issuer model. The contract 0x60a3e35cc302bfa44cb288bc5a4f316fdb1adb42 is what our scan tracks: $2.3 million of pool liquidity as of October 9, 2026.
The single thing to get right: this token is stable against the euro, not the dollar — its USD price moves with EUR/USD, and a dollar-based holder carries FX exposure either direction. Underneath that sits the standard Circle model — fiat reserves held by the issuer, redemption through Circle's channels, and the issuer's ability to freeze addresses, which is a feature of the regulated model rather than a bug to discover later.

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, 2026-09-26→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
