What the data says
GHST
Start with the discrepancy, because on this row it is the useful part: the venue feed names this Base deployment "So4," while the ticker and slug in our index carry GHST — the name Aavegotchi's long-running game token trades under. At 0xac780b6e4ee50585df265c7766cc2bed51e43fb8, our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads about $16.5 million of tracked pool liquidity against roughly $3.2 million of recorded daily volume — a working level of turnover for a mid-cap game token.
Name mismatches between a feed and an index happen for boring reasons (a token rebrands upstream, a feed carries a different label) and for dangerous ones (a different asset wearing a famous ticker). The address is the arbiter: Aavegotchi's GHST is a known, years-old deployment, and whether this contract is the genuine Base deployment or an impersonation riding the name is a fact the address — never the ticker — settles. The live scanner above reads the contract directly and is the fastest way to confirm which case this is.
MSUSD
msUSD is Metronome Synth's synthetic dollar — you deposit volatile collateral (ETH, BTC wrappers) into the Synth engine and mint dollar-denominated synthetic positions against it. The contract 0x526728dbc96689597f85ae4cd716d4f7fccbae9d is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $5.2 million of pool liquidity as of October 6, 2026.
The honest note, stated plainly: a synthetic dollar is not a stablecoin — msUSD can and does trade off its one-dollar mark (our current read shows it well below), because its price is set by pool dynamics and mint-redemption incentives, not by an issuer redeeming at par. That is a different risk class from USDC or USDT — hold it as a leveraged-collateral instrument, not as cash.
FAQ
Which is bigger, GHST or MSUSD?
By tracked market cap: GHST (Base) measures — and MSUSD (Base) measures $45.74M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, GHST or MSUSD?
On the contract checks we publish: GHST (Base) grades A and MSUSD (Base) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have GHST and MSUSD performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-14 and 2026-09-28, the measured snapshots show GHST at 0.00% and MSUSD at +0.09%.
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, 2026-09-14→2026-09-28; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
