What the data says
IO
IO is the token of io.net, the decentralized GPU-compute network that was one of 2024's headline Solana launches. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads roughly $65.9 million of circulating market capitalization across 85,594 holders on mint BZLbGTNCSFfoth2GYDtwr7e4imWzpR5jqcUuGEwr646K — with fully diluted value near $132.2 million, meaning over half of eventual supply still sits outside the float on vesting schedules.
That FDV gap is the first thing a buyer should price: emissions and unlocks arrive continuously in a token like this, and today's market cap competes with tomorrow's supply. It is a tokenomics fact, not a contract fault — the contract itself reads clean, with mint and freeze authorities both confirmed revoked in the snapshot.
DEGEN
DEGEN is the tipping token that grew out of Farcaster — the /degen channel's community currency that became one of the broadest token distributions on Base. The deployment at 0x4ed4e862860bed51a9570b96d89af5e1b0efefed prices a market cap of $36.0 million across 1,182,333 wallets on the October 9, 2026 snapshot — the widest holder base in this batch by a wide margin.
The distribution is what a social token should look like: the top ten wallets hold about 61.8% — concentrated but nothing like the 95%+ float the clone coins carry — and the creator wallet holds effectively nothing. The flagged lever is real though: the contract can still mint new supply, so the circulating figure is a floor, and the tracked pool of $723.3 thousand is thin against the cap.
FAQ
Which is bigger, IO or DEGEN?
By tracked market cap: IO (Solana) measures $65.86M and DEGEN (Base) measures $36.03M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, IO or DEGEN?
On the contract checks we publish: IO (Solana) grades A and DEGEN (Base) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have IO and DEGEN performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-17T06:15:22, the measured snapshots show IO at +8.39% and DEGEN at −15.6%.
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, 2026-09-21→2026-10-17T06:15:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
