What the data says
MSUSD
msUSD is Metronome Synth's synthetic dollar — you deposit volatile collateral (ETH, BTC wrappers) into the Synth engine and mint dollar-denominated synthetic positions against it. The contract 0x526728dbc96689597f85ae4cd716d4f7fccbae9d is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $3.4 million of pool liquidity as of September 27, 2026.
The honest note, stated plainly: a synthetic dollar is not a stablecoin — msUSD can and does trade off its one-dollar mark (our current read shows it well below), because its price is set by pool dynamics and mint-redemption incentives, not by an issuer redeeming at par. That is a different risk class from USDC or USDT — hold it as a leveraged-collateral instrument, not as cash.
PENDLE
PENDLE on Arbitrum at 0x0c880f6761f1af8d9aa9c466984b80dab9a8c9e8 is the bridged deployment of the yield-tokenization protocol's token — the asset behind the principal-and-yield-splitting market that turned fixed yield into a DeFi primitive. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices the Arbitrum-local supply of 14.6 million units at $38.3 million fully diluted, against an asset-wide $457.6 million market cap.
$3.4 million of tracked pool depth on this chain is thin measured the way the depth flag measures — against the asset-wide figure — but functional: $632.8 thousand of 24-hour volume moves through it. The 1,293-day record belongs to a token whose liquidity genuinely spans chains, with Ethereum holding the canonical supply and Arbitrum holding the routed share, so the local book is a window on the market rather than the market itself.

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→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
