What the data says
CRVUSD
CRVUSD is Curve's own stablecoin — minted against collateral deposited into Curve's LLAMMA system, which liquidates gradually across a price band instead of in a single cliff, the design that made it the DeFi stable built for volatile collateral. The deployment 0xf939e0a03fb07f59a73314e73794be0e57ac1b4e is the Ethereum mint; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $14.1 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest mechanics: LLAMMA's soft-liquidation is genuinely novel — collateral converts to crvUSD gradually as price falls, cushioning the cliff-edge failure mode other CDP systems have. The trade-off is that the peg's quality is a function of Curve's collateral book and liquidation engine rather than a fiat reserve — verifiable on-chain, never guaranteed.
FRXUSD
FRXUSD is Frax's dollar — the stablecoin of the protocol that pioneered fractional-algorithmic backing and later migrated to full collateralization, now issued against custodied reserves and yield-bearing positions. The deployment 0xcacd6fd266af91b8aed52accc382b4e165586e29 is the Ethereum mint; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $14.9 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest arc: Frax started as the algorithmic stable that held its peg with a collateral ratio dial — a design that survived the 2022 stablecoin shakeout where most algorithmics didn't — and the protocol has since moved toward conventional backing, which makes current frxUSD a different risk than its origin story suggests. The evolution is the point of checking the current reserve shape rather than the 2021 reputation.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
