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 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.
RDK
Sometimes the read on a token is defined by what is missing, and Rudake is that case. HostDeFi's August 19, 2026 capture of RDK — taken when the token was about one day old — has no holder count, no market capitalization, no mint- or freeze-control assessment, and no identifying history. What it does have is a pair of claims from the listing venue: roughly $1.74 billion in pool liquidity and $2.89 billion in daily volume. When the only two numbers present are the two easiest to fabricate, and every number that is hard to fabricate is absent, the shape of the data is itself the disclosure.
Why those two, specifically? Because screeners and aggregators rank by them. An operator who cycles trades against their own pool manufactures "volume" for the cost of gas; reserve figures arrive via feeds that don't audit what they relay. Holder counts and contract state, by contrast, live on-chain where anyone can check — which is why they are the fields that go missing when the goal is to look large rather than be large.
FAQ
Which is bigger, RETH or RDK?
By tracked market cap: RETH (Ethereum) measures — and RDK (Base) measures — — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, RETH or RDK?
On the contract checks we publish: RETH (Ethereum) grades B and RDK (Base) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have RETH and RDK performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-14 and 2026-09-17T20:24:07, the measured snapshots show RETH at 0.00% and RDK at 0.00%.

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.
