What the data says
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.
ALUSD
ALUSD at 0xcb8fa9a76b8e203d8c3797bf438d8fb81ea3326a is Alchemix's USD on Optimism — the dollar that backs the protocol's self-repaying loan structure, where deposited collateral's yield amortizes the borrow. The September 26, 2026 snapshot prices a $10.0 million asset-wide market cap against a $1.6 million fully-diluted read of the local float of 1.7 million units — a small Optimism slice of a multi-chain stable.
The local book is deeper than it looks and quieter than it should be: $1.1 million of tracked depth reads deep against that float, while $1.9 thousand of 24-hour volume is a nearly dormant tape — the pool exists; the flow mostly does not. For an exit-sized holder that pairing is the real information: depth on paper, and a tape that rarely tests it.

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.
