What the data says
ALETH
ALETH at 0x3e29d3a9316dab217754d13b28646b76607c5f04 is Alchemix's ETH claim on Optimism — the ether-denominated sibling of the protocol's self-repaying dollar, a receipt whose backing is a yield-bearing ETH position. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices a $22.1 million asset-wide market cap against a $4.6 million fully-diluted read of the local float — and that float is just 1.7 thousand claims, a small book by any measure.
Inside the small book the depth is real: $2.4 million of tracked pool liquidity reads deep against the local float, on $68.1 thousand of 24-hour volume. The record runs 1,181 days — the same vintage as its dollar sibling, both surviving deployments of a protocol that has long since gone through its hype cycle.
VELO
VELO at 0x9560e827af36c94d2ac33a39bce1fe78631088db is Velodrome's exchange token — the emissions engine of the vote-escrow DEX that routes a large share of Optimism's stable-asset flow. This row is the VelodromeV2 deployment, 132 days into its record at the September 27, 2026 snapshot.
The figure carrying the analysis is the supply gap: a $48.8 million market cap against a $96.0 million fully-diluted read on 2.6 billion units — the distance between the two is the unemitted allocation the emissions schedule still holds, which is how a ve-model token is designed to work. Tracked depth of $1.6 million is workable for the size on $224.7 thousand of 24-hour volume.

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→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
