What the data says
WNEAR
WNEAR is NEAR's token wrapped onto Solana — native NEAR locked on its own chain, a claim receipt trading here. The mint 3ZLekZYq2qkZiSpnSvabjit34tUkjSwD1JFuW9as9wBG is what our scan tracks: $9.7 million market cap, $1.8 million of pool liquidity, 12,281 holders as of September 26, 2026.
The honest mechanics of any wrapped asset: your exposure is NEAR's price plus the wrapper's integrity — a bridge or custodian sits between this token and the real asset, and bridge-layer failures are where wrapped tokens die. The mcap-vs-liquidity ratio is reasonable; the honest sizing question is the wrapper, not the chain.
DAI
DAI answered a question the other stablecoins on this site don't ask: can a dollar exist on-chain without a company behind it? Since 2019, the contract at 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f has held near a dollar not because anyone promises redemption at a bank, but because every DAI is minted against locked crypto collateral worth more than it, with interest rates and liquidations — governed by MakerDAO, now rebranded Sky — doing the work a treasurer would. No single company can freeze your DAI or pause the contract; that censorship-resistance is the property its holders are actually paying for.
The honest complications have grown over the years. A large share of DAI's backing has long included centralized stablecoins and real-world assets, which reimports a slice of the issuer risk the design was born to escape — the March 2023 weekend when USDC's depeg dragged DAI to roughly $0.89 alongside it made that dependency visible. And the 2024 rebrand to Sky, with its upgrade path to the newer USDS token, means DAI is now the legacy branch of its own ecosystem: still enormous, still redeemable through the same machinery, but no longer where its creators' roadmap points. Neither fact is a defect; both belong in the price of holding it.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-27T18:22:06; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
