What the data says
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.
CRVUSD
CRVUSD is Curve's own stablecoin — minted against collateral deposited into Curve's LLAMMA system, which liquidates gradually across a price band instead of in a single cliff, the design that made it the DeFi stable built for volatile collateral. The deployment 0xf939e0a03fb07f59a73314e73794be0e57ac1b4e is the Ethereum mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $198.2 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest mechanics: LLAMMA's soft-liquidation is genuinely novel — collateral converts to crvUSD gradually as price falls, cushioning the cliff-edge failure mode other CDP systems have. The trade-off is that the peg's quality is a function of Curve's collateral book and liquidation engine rather than a fiat reserve — verifiable on-chain, never guaranteed.

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, 2026-09-18T04:43:53→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
