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 November 6, 2026 snapshot prices a $10.4 million asset-wide market cap against a $2.0 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: $362 thousand 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.
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 November 6, 2026 snapshot.
The figure carrying the analysis is the supply gap: a $13.9 million market cap against a $70.7 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 $322 thousand 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→2026-11-15T15:15:30; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
