What the data says
ZORA
ZORA at 0x1111111111166b7fe7bd91427724b487980afc69 is the Zora creator-network token on Base, 516 days into its record at the October 9, 2026 snapshot. The $31.1 million market cap prices under half of the $69.7 million fully-diluted figure on 10.0 billion units.
The book is thin for the cap but the tape is the busiest in this slice of the corpus: $5.5 million of tracked depth on $416.4 thousand of 24-hour volume — turnover several times the pool daily, a heavily routed book. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
MSETH
msETH is Metronome Synth's synthetic ether — a collateral-minted synthetic that tracks ETH's price through the Synth engine's mint-and-pool mechanics rather than by holding ether itself. The contract 0x7ba6f01772924a82d9626c126347a28299e98c98 is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $3.6 million of pool liquidity as of October 6, 2026.
The honest note: msETH is not ETH and not a claim on ETH — synthetic assets trade at whatever the pool clears, which can sit far from the underlying's price (our current read has it at a steep discount to spot ether). Exposure through a synth is exposure to the synth's own liquidity and redemption mechanics first. If you want ETH on Base, bridged or wrapped ETH is the honest instrument; this is a different product.
FAQ
Which is bigger, ZORA or MSETH?
By tracked market cap: ZORA (Base) measures $31.15M and MSETH (Base) measures $51.09M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, ZORA or MSETH?
On the contract checks we publish: ZORA (Base) grades A and MSETH (Base) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have ZORA and MSETH performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show ZORA at −25.5% and MSETH at −12.4%.
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, 2026-09-21→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
