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 $2.3 million of pool liquidity as of November 6, 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.
VELO
VELO at 0x9560e827af36c94d2ac33a39bce1fe78631088db is Velodrome's exchange token — the emissions engine of the vote-escrow DEX that routes a large share of Optimism's stable-asset flow. This row is the VelodromeV2 deployment, 132 days into its record at the November 6, 2026 snapshot.
The figure carrying the analysis is the supply gap: a $13.9 million market cap against a $70.7 million fully-diluted read on 2.6 billion units — the distance between the two is the unemitted allocation the emissions schedule still holds, which is how a ve-model token is designed to work. Tracked depth of $322 thousand is workable for the size on $224.7 thousand of 24-hour volume.

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→2026-11-14T21:16:23; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
