What the data says
DIEM
Diem, ticker DIEM, is an asset on the Base chain. Its contract address is 0xf4d97f2da56e8c3098f3a8d538db630a2606a024. This snapshot reflects its state as of September 26, 2026.
Diem has a market cap of $84.0 million and a total supply of 37.4 thousand tokens. Its tracked pool liquidity is $12.3 million, with a 24h trading volume of $1.2 million. The token is 397 days old. NexFlow grades Diem at B for this snapshot. Pool depth for a token of this size is deep.
RETH
rETH is Rocket Pool's liquid staking receipt — the decentralized alternative in the ETH-staking market: anyone can run a Rocket Pool "minipool" validator with 8 ETH plus RPL collateral, and rETH appreciates against ETH as rewards accrue. The contract 0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393 is the canonical deployment; our September 26, 2026 read shows $11.9 million of tracked pool liquidity, with rETH's deeper venues spread across the wider DeFi stack.
The honest framing: rETH's pitch is credible neutrality — a permissionless operator set rather than one company's validators — and the trade-off is the usual one: a smaller, more fragmented liquidity surface than stETH and its own smart-contract surface (minipool mechanics, oracle DAO) instead of a single issuer's operations. The wrapper price is not ETH's price — it floats on its own exchange rate and has traded at discounts in stress.

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.
