What the data says
GHST
GHST is Aavegotchi's token — the governance-and-utility asset of one of the older surviving blockchain games, deployed to Base where the project's community migrated for cheaper play. The address 0xac780b6e4ee50585df265c7766cc2bed51e43fb8 is the Base deployment; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $43 million of tracked pool liquidity, the deepest pool this index measures on Base.
Honest framing: a game token's value rides on an active player base, which is a harder thing to verify from a liquidity snapshot than contract state — the pool can be deep while the game itself thins. What the snapshot does confirm is that the asset trades at real depth on its home chain; what it can't confirm is whether the world behind the token is still populated.
USDC
USDC is crypto's regulated dollar — Circle's token, backed by cash and short Treasuries with monthly attestations, the asset institutional DeFi is settled in. The deployment at 0x26d2d7456121e8806a8fd29cab8a76e59a7f500b reads as a second USDC-branded contract on Ethereum rather than the canonical 0xa0b8…eb48 mint — our September 7, 2026 snapshot shows $639 million of tracked pool liquidity on it regardless, which is the honest oddity of this row: a noncanonical address carrying canonical-tier depth.
That gap between name and address is exactly what the verify step is for. USDC's risk profile is issuer-shaped — freeze controls, blacklists, attestation cadence — but those properties only transfer to the address Circle actually operates. Whether this contract is a Circle deployment, an official migration, or something trading on the name is a question the address answers and the ticker cannot.

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