What the data says
VELO
VELO at 0x9560e827af36c94d2ac33a39bce1fe78631088db is Velodrome's exchange token — the emissions engine of the vote-escrow DEX that routes a large share of Optimism's stable-asset flow. This row is the VelodromeV2 deployment, 132 days into its record at the September 27, 2026 snapshot.
The figure carrying the analysis is the supply gap: a $48.8 million market cap against a $96.0 million fully-diluted read on 2.6 billion units — the distance between the two is the unemitted allocation the emissions schedule still holds, which is how a ve-model token is designed to work. Tracked depth of $1.6 million is workable for the size on $224.7 thousand of 24-hour volume.
PRIME
PRIME on Solana is one of two rows this index tracks under that symbol — alongside the Ethereum deployment on its own page — and the mint 3b8X44fLF9ooXaUm3hhSgjpmVs6rZZ3pPoGnGahc3Uu7 is which chain you are actually looking at. Our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $7.7 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest note is the sibling check: a shared ticker across chains usually means the same project bridged or two unrelated tokens sharing a name, and the contract address is what separates them — this page's figures are measured against this mint, not the name. Whatever the token's own claim is, the chain and address above are the identity to verify.

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.
