What the data says
UNI
UNI is Uniswap's governance token — the asset of the protocol that invented the automated market maker and still clears more DEX volume than the rest of the field combined. The deployment 0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 is the canonical mint; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $14.2 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.
The honest asymmetry is the governance-token shape: UNI's thesis is control over a fee-generating machine, but the "fee switch" — the mechanism that would route protocol revenue to holders — has been proposed and deferred for years, so the token trades on governance value and the perennial expectation rather than cashflow it actually pays. That makes its valuation more reflexive than a productive asset's.
FRXUSD
FRXUSD is Frax's dollar — the stablecoin of the protocol that pioneered fractional-algorithmic backing and later migrated to full collateralization, now issued against custodied reserves and yield-bearing positions. The deployment 0xcacd6fd266af91b8aed52accc382b4e165586e29 is the Ethereum mint; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $14.9 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest arc: Frax started as the algorithmic stable that held its peg with a collateral ratio dial — a design that survived the 2022 stablecoin shakeout where most algorithmics didn't — and the protocol has since moved toward conventional backing, which makes current frxUSD a different risk than its origin story suggests. The evolution is the point of checking the current reserve shape rather than the 2021 reputation.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
