What the data says
LUSD
LUSD at 0xc40f949f8a4e094d1b49a23ea9241d289b7b2819 is the Optimism-bridged deployment of Liquity's USD — the dollar whose Ethereum original is famously immutable, which makes the local contract posture here the detail that matters. The September 26, 2026 snapshot prices the 110.4 thousand local units at $109.9 thousand fully diluted, inside the asset-wide $26.0 million market cap.
Unlike the governance-free Ethereum contract, this bridged deployment — 1,566 days into its record — still holds an active mint authority and new supply can be minted. Freeze authority is revoked, and it is not a proxy. The book is nearly dormant: $95.8 thousand of thin tracked depth on $689 of 24-hour volume, with 6,714 holders whose ten largest wallets hold 82.0% of supply.
EXA
EXA at 0x1e925de1c68ef83bd98ee3e130ef14a50309c01b — deployed under the lowercase name "exactly" — is the Optimism deployment of the Exactly protocol's asset, 1,156 days into its record at the September 27, 2026 snapshot. The $786.3 thousand market cap prices roughly half of the $1.4 million fully-diluted figure on 9.9 million units.
The book is deep for the small cap and the tape nearly still: $61.1 thousand of tracked depth on $1.0 thousand of 24-hour volume — a held float. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.

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, 2026-09-21→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
