What the data says
WSTETH
wstETH is the same bet as stETH, wrapped so DeFi can handle it: rather than rebasing daily, the token holds a fixed count that appreciates against stETH as rewards accrue — the shape lending markets, bridges and LPs prefer. The contract at 0x7f39c581f595b53c5cb19bd0b3f8da6c935e2ca0 is the canonical deployment; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $89.7 million of tracked pool liquidity.
Everything honest about stETH applies here — it is a claim on staked ETH through Lido, with the same depeg memory and the same dependence on the exit queue — plus one wrapper-level note: the price shown for wstETH is not the ETH price, it is stETH's value times a growing exchange rate, so it will always quote higher and still be "tracking" correctly.
VELVET
Velvet (VELVET) is a DeFi-infrastructure token — a portfolio and intent-management stack that sits between asset-management UX and on-chain execution — deployed on Base at 0xbf927b841994731c573bdf09ceb0c6b0aa887cdd. Our August 24, 2026 read shows $2.7 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest note: infrastructure tokens earn their valuation on integrations and flow, not narrative — the check is whether the stack actually routes volume under real users, which liquidity alone cannot tell you.

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.
