What the data says
AUSD
AUSD is Agora's institutional dollar — a stablecoin built for treasury-grade backing (State Street custodian, VanEck management) that targets the same regulated-treasury ground as USDC and PYUSD. The deployment 0x00000000efe302beaa2b3e6e1b18d08d69a9012a is the Monad deployment — the same multichain address AUSD uses on every chain it lands on; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $3 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest shape: AUSD competes on custody pedigree rather than yield gimmicks — which means its risk profile is the boring kind (issuer solvency, attestation cadence, redemption terms) that is easier to verify but no smaller for being verifiable. AUSD also exists on Solana under a different mint; this Monad deployment carries the same canonical multichain address as its siblings.
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 $2.8 million of pool liquidity as of September 26, 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.

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, 2026-09-15→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
