What the data says
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 26, 2026 read shows $11.9 million 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.
CRV
One thing stands out on CRV, and it's worth knowing up front. As of the 2026-09-27 read, the contract's mint function hasn't been removed, which means the team can still create new supply. Read the rest of the page with that in mind — it's why CRV is at B (75/100) as of 2026-09-27, with real room to improve.
Market-wise, CRV carries $10.48M of on-chain liquidity and 100,872 wallets holding as of 2026-09-27. Set the $10.48M of depth beside roughly $539.21M in market cap and it reads as moderate: comfortable for everyday trades, less so for size that begins to rival the pool itself. A holder base of 100,872 is reassuring too — counts like that are difficult to fake and point to real, spread-out ownership rather than a few concentrated hands. Reassuringly, the wallet that created CRV holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-09-27 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.

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, 2026-09-27→2026-09-27T21:19:38; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
