What the data says
ETH
This page tracks native Ether through the 0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee placeholder — the convention several DEX aggregators and data APIs use to mean "the chain's own asset" in pair data, since ETH predates ERC-20 and has no contract of its own. Our November 6, 2026 snapshot reads about $113.6 million of tracked pool liquidity attributed to this label — real pools holding real ETH, with one bookkeeping caveat: the same native-asset convention shows up on other chains in this index — Arbitrum's own Ether row uses the all-zeroes address — so per-chain reads of "the ETH row" never quite mean the same slice of pools.
The safety verdict here is the simplest in the corpus: the asset is ETH — no issuer, no mint key, no admin, nothing to rug at the contract layer. The risks are the asset's own — price, network, the L1 itself.
UNIBTC
uniBTC at 0x93919784c523f39cacaa98ee0a9d96c3f32b593e is a bitcoin-denominated receipt on Optimism, 802 days into its record at the November 6, 2026 snapshot. The asset-wide $245.4 million market cap dwarfs a $399.3 thousand fully-diluted figure priced on 4 local units — four coins' worth on this chain.
The local book is thin against the headline: $304.8 thousand of tracked depth on $10.6 thousand of 24-hour volume — a sliver that mostly sits. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.

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, 2026-09-26→2026-11-12; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
