What the data says
TBTC
tBTC is Threshold Network's trust-minimized wrapped Bitcoin — the decentralized-custody answer to WBTC, where a rotating set of node operators secures the BTC rather than a single custodian. The deployment 0x18084fba666a33d37592fa2633fd49a74dd93a88 is the v2 mint; our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads $26.6 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest contrast is the whole point of the asset: tBTC trades BitGo's institutional custody for a threshold-signature committee — no single company can lose or freeze the coins, but the security model is cryptographic-economic (operator collateral) rather than legal, which is a different risk shape, not a strictly smaller one. Its depth vs WBTC's billions is the market's honest verdict on how much that trade matters to people.
WLD
WLD on Optimism at 0xdc6ff44d5d932cbd77b52e5612ba0529dc6226f1 is the bridged form of Worldcoin's token — the asset behind the orb-verified World ID network — and the September 27, 2026 snapshot hands it a D grade for reasons worth reading rather than guessing.
The flags are measured, not rumored. Minting is still possible on this contract — new supply can be minted — and the owner retains the ability to change balances. Freeze authority is revoked; that is the one lever the code lacks. Powers like these are the standard anatomy of a bridge-issued layer-two token — the bridge has to be able to issue the claim — but they sit on the contract either way. 1,284,272 wallets hold it on Optimism with the ten largest wallets at 72.7% of supply, and the thin end is the exit: $122.7 thousand of tracked pool depth against a $2.0 billion asset-wide cap, with $41.6 thousand changing hands in a day.

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.
