What the data says
ALUSD
ALUSD at 0xcb8fa9a76b8e203d8c3797bf438d8fb81ea3326a is Alchemix's USD on Optimism — the dollar that backs the protocol's self-repaying loan structure, where deposited collateral's yield amortizes the borrow. The September 26, 2026 snapshot prices a $10.0 million asset-wide market cap against a $1.6 million fully-diluted read of the local float of 1.7 million units — a small Optimism slice of a multi-chain stable.
The local book is deeper than it looks and quieter than it should be: $1.1 million of tracked depth reads deep against that float, while $1.9 thousand of 24-hour volume is a nearly dormant tape — the pool exists; the flow mostly does not. For an exit-sized holder that pairing is the real information: depth on paper, and a tape that rarely tests it.
OP
OP at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042 is the Optimism Collective's governance token — the canonical OP Mainnet deployment sitting in the chain's own vanity address space, not a bridged copy. The September 26, 2026 snapshot counts 1,370,841 holders around a $299.4 million market cap, $559.2 million fully diluted against a 4.3 billion total supply — the gap between the two figures is the unissued allocation the Collective still holds.
The contract posture is worth quoting exactly. Minting is still active — new supply can be minted, consistent with OP's ongoing distribution schedule. Freeze is revoked, and the code is not a proxy. Depth is the soft spot: $1.1 million of tracked pool liquidity is thin against a nine-figure cap, and $2.8 million of 24-hour volume means ordinary exits clear but size should be measured against the pool, not the headline.

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→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
