What the data says
RETH
rETH is Rocket Pool's liquid staking receipt — the decentralized alternative in the ETH-staking market: anyone can run a Rocket Pool "minipool" validator with 8 ETH plus RPL collateral, and rETH appreciates against ETH as rewards accrue. The contract 0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393 is the canonical deployment; our September 26, 2026 read shows $11.9 million of tracked pool liquidity, with rETH's deeper venues spread across the wider DeFi stack.
The honest framing: rETH's pitch is credible neutrality — a permissionless operator set rather than one company's validators — and the trade-off is the usual one: a smaller, more fragmented liquidity surface than stETH and its own smart-contract surface (minipool mechanics, oracle DAO) instead of a single issuer's operations. The wrapper price is not ETH's price — it floats on its own exchange rate and has traded at discounts in stress.
SKY
SKY is the governance token of Sky — the protocol formerly known as MakerDAO — taking over the job MKR held: voting risk parameters and standing as the recapitalization backstop behind its stablecoins. The deployment at 0x56072c95faa701256059aa122697b133aded9279 is the canonical Ethereum contract of the post-rebrand token.
Our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads a $1.8 billion market cap across a 23.5 billion-token supply, with $10.8 million of tracked pool liquidity — thin against the headline — and $760.9 thousand traded in the last day. At 333 days old, the token is still early in the successor role.

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.
