What the data says
NVDAC
NVDAC is a tokenized NVIDIA Corporation share — an on-chain equity claim on the AI-capex winner, issued under a real-asset wrapper that maps the token to NVDA exposure. The deployment 0xb20000000000000000000078ee7ce2fe4908108c is the Base deployment; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $1.4 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest frame is the tokenized-equity one: NVDAC's value is a claim on whoever holds the underlying shares or hedges them — the token inherits the issuer's custody model plus NVDA's market price, and its 24/7 trading means it can gap against the actual stock when equity markets are closed. On-chain depth for tokenized equities typically understates the product because most holders sit in wallets, not pools.
AAVE
AAVE is the token of DeFi's biggest lending protocol — the asset that secures Aave's safety module and governs the money market that's been clearing loans continuously since ETHLend in 2017. The deployment 0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9 is the canonical mint; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $12.6 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — thin against a float that trades everywhere.
The honest shape: AAVE's thesis is unusually concrete for a governance token — stakers backstop protocol shortfalls with their own stake, so the token is literally collateral for the system's solvency, which ties its value to Aave's actual revenue and risk book rather than pure governance vibes. That makes it closer to a productive asset than most of this index — with the caveat that "productive" here still means "exposed to one protocol's loan book."

How have NVDAC and AAVE performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-14 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show NVDAC at +1.07% and AAVE at +22.6%.
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→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
