META is MetaDAO's token — the project that put futarchy (governance by prediction market) into real production on Solana: proposals pass or fail on whether a market prices the token higher with them, and the DAO's launchpad issues new projects under the same structure — you can spot those mints by the "meta" suffix this address itself carries, METAwkXcqyXKy1AtsSgJ8JiUHwGCafnZL38n3vYmeta. Our October 6, 2026 read shows $141.6 million market cap, $1.6 million of pool liquidity, and 6,682 holders.
The honest read: MetaDAO is one of the genuinely novel governance experiments running — futarchy has decades of academic lineage and this is its most concrete deployment. The token's bet is that governance-by-market out-allocates founder governance; the honest risks are the thin holder count for its market cap and that market-based governance can still be cornered by a deep-pocketed participant.
Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 6, 2026; the scan refreshes them. There is a same-ticker "META" on Solana that is not this project — the authentic mint ends in "meta"; the imposter does not.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 39.86% of META's supply as of 2026-08-16 — a comparatively wide distribution for its size. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

FAQ
Is META a safe token?
As of the 2026-09-26 snapshot, META scores 100/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on unconfirmed mint authority, renounced freeze authority, liquidity of $1.64M and 6,682 holders. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell META, or is it a honeypot?
On Solana, the lever that can block a sale is the freeze authority, and META's is renounced as of 2026-09-26 — no one can freeze your balance to trap you in. With $1.64M of liquidity there's a pool to sell into, though how cleanly depends on your size against that depth.
Who holds most of META?
META has 6,682 holders as of 2026-09-26. A headline count doesn't reveal how much the largest wallets control, so read it with the concentration figure on this page — broad distribution is a good sign, a few wallets owning most of the supply is not.
Can META's supply be inflated?
The mint authority state couldn't be confirmed from the 2026-09-26 snapshot — verify it with a live scan before relying on the supply being fixed.
What is the META contract address?
The META mint address on Solana is METAwkXcqyXKy1AtsSgJ8JiUHwGCafnZL38n3vYmeta. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy META safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if META clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (METAwkXcqyXKy1AtsSgJ8JiUHwGCafnZL38n3vYmeta) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
