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.
UNI
UNI is Uniswap's governance token — the asset of the protocol that invented the automated market maker and still clears more DEX volume than the rest of the field combined. The deployment 0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $25.5 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.
The honest asymmetry is the governance-token shape: UNI's thesis is control over a fee-generating machine, but the "fee switch" — the mechanism that would route protocol revenue to holders — has been proposed and deferred for years, so the token trades on governance value and the perennial expectation rather than cashflow it actually pays. That makes its valuation more reflexive than a productive asset's.

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, 2026-09-14→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
