What the data says
MKR
MKR — 0x9f8f72aa9304c8b593d555f12ef6589cc3a579a2 — is MakerDAO's governance token, caught mid-story: the protocol rebranded to Sky and re-denominated its governance asset (MKR → SKY at 1:24,000) while both tickers trade. This row tracks the original MKR contract — still live, still convertible — which makes its snapshot numbers read strange to anyone who doesn't know the migration is running.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads an $146.8 million fully-diluted value and $1.3 million of tracked depth against 75,008 holders — and a top-10 concentration of 197%, a number that is impossible on its face. Concentration over 100% is not a hidden whale; it is the snapshot double-counting supply that is mid-migration between the two tickers, an honest artifact of measuring a token that is half-converted.
RAD
Where a lot of tokens leave a door open, RAD has closed both. The contract holds no mint power, so the supply stays honest and predictable, and no wallet can be blacklisted either, so no one can hold your tokens in place. It's a reassuring starting point: 100/100 as of 2026-10-09, with the structural risks already off the table.
Market-wise, RAD carries a $1.18M pool, 8,022 wallets holding and 1,821 days old as of 2026-10-09. Against roughly $20.29M in market cap, the $1.18M of liquidity is genuinely healthy: deep enough that ordinary trades clear cleanly, which is exactly what you want to see. 8,022 holders is a decent base; just remember the number alone doesn't reveal how much the top wallets control, so weigh it with the concentration figure. Reassuringly, the wallet that created RAD holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-10-09 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.
FAQ
Which is bigger, MKR or RAD?
By tracked market cap: MKR (Ethereum) measures — and RAD (Ethereum) measures $20.29M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, MKR or RAD?
On the contract checks we publish: MKR (Ethereum) grades D and RAD (Ethereum) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have MKR and RAD performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-06 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show MKR at −20.3% and RAD at −15.9%.
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, 2026-10-06→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
