What the data says
GHO
GHO is Aave's native stablecoin — minted against collateral deposited in the Aave protocol, with its monetary policy governed by Aave governance. The contract 0x40d16fc0246ad3160ccc09b8d0d3a2cd28ae6c2f is what our scan tracks: $26.5 million of pool liquidity as of September 26, 2026, trading essentially at its dollar peg.
The honest mechanics: GHO is overcollateralized-debt stablecoin design — borrowers mint it against Aave collateral, so its backing is the health of Aave's markets rather than a bank account. Peg deviations are the figure to watch: a stablecoin that trades below peg is the market pricing the collateral-and-arbitrage machinery's speed, and GHO's history includes real time spent under a dollar before stabilizers matured.
UP
UP at 0x000008d2175f9aeaddb2430c26f8a6f73c5a0000 — Unitas, on a contract padded with zeros at both ends — is a 124-day-old BNB Chain book priced at a $65.6 million market cap against a $274.7 million fully-diluted figure on 904.1 million units at the September 27, 2026 snapshot.
The book is workable and the tape is heavy: $897.2 thousand of tracked depth on $19.6 million of 24-hour volume — routed flow cycling the pool more than twenty times daily. 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, 2026-09-21→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
