What the data says
LBTC
LBTC is Lombard's staked Bitcoin — the liquid-staking token that puts BTC to work in Babylon's staking layer while circulating as a DeFi-usable claim, one of the "productive BTC" class that grew out of Babylon's launch. The mint LBTCgU4b3wsFKsPwBn1rRZDx5DoFutM6RPiEt1TPDsY is the Solana deployment; our September 16, 2026 snapshot reads $1.7 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest mechanics: LBTC is a claim on BTC that's been restaked into Babylon's security model — the yield is Babylon's protocol paying for its security budget, which means the return is emissions-shaped (real but endogenous to the system) rather than external revenue. The custody chain is Lombard's consortium model; on Solana, add the bridge that carried it here.
RETH
rETH is Rocket Pool's liquid staking receipt — the decentralized alternative in the ETH-staking market: anyone can run a Rocket Pool "minipool" validator with 8 ETH plus RPL collateral, and rETH appreciates against ETH as rewards accrue. The contract 0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393 is the canonical deployment; our September 14, 2026 read shows $784 thousand of tracked pool liquidity, with rETH's deeper venues spread across the wider DeFi stack.
The honest framing: rETH's pitch is credible neutrality — a permissionless operator set rather than one company's validators — and the trade-off is the usual one: a smaller, more fragmented liquidity surface than stETH and its own smart-contract surface (minipool mechanics, oracle DAO) instead of a single issuer's operations. The wrapper price is not ETH's price — it floats on its own exchange rate and has traded at discounts in stress.

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.
