What the data says
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.
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.

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.
