What the data says
POD
POD — listed under the name Dolphin — on Base at 0xed664536023d8e4b1640c394777d34abaff1df8f is a community token on the Coinbase-incubated layer-two chain, 203 days into its record at this snapshot. The September 26, 2026 read prices a $34.2 million market cap on a 500.0 million total supply, with a $206.2 million fully-diluted figure beside it — the wide gap between the two is the part of the float not yet circulating, which usually means locked, vested or treasury-held supply.
Liquidity is the strong half of the print: $3.4 million of tracked pool depth is deep for a cap this size, and $475.8 thousand of 24-hour volume is real flow rather than a dead chart. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot, so the authority posture is a question for the live scan — a gap to verify, not a verdict to assume.
WBTC
WBTC is the original wrapped Bitcoin — the ERC-20 that put BTC on Ethereum's DeFi rails in 2019, custodied by BitGo with a mint-and-burn pipeline run through KYC'd merchants. The deployment 0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599 is the canonical mint, one of the oldest contract addresses in DeFi; our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads $232.2 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — a slice of a float that spans every major venue.
The honest frame is unchanged since launch: holding WBTC means trusting BitGo's custody — the reserve is attested and the mint pipeline is transparent, but the claim is institutional, not cryptographic. Coinbase's cbBTC arrived as the regulated-competitor answer; the two trade the same BTC exposure with different custodians, and the depth split between them is the market's live verdict on whose custody it prefers.

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.
