What the data says
WSTETH
wstETH is stETH made legible to DeFi — the same claim on Lido-staked Ether, wrapped so the balance stops moving: where stETH re-bases your token count upward each day, wstETH holds a fixed count and lets the exchange rate against stETH do the appreciating. That is the shape lending markets, bridges and LPs need, which is why the contract at 0x7f39c581f595b53c5cb19bd0b3f8da6c935e2ca0 became the canonical collateral form — our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads $50.3 million of tracked pool liquidity on it.
The verdict therefore inherits stETH's, plus one wrapper-layer note. You hold a claim on staked ETH via Lido — subject to its validator set, Ethereum's exit queue, and stETH's own depeg memory (June 2022, when it traded visibly under par) — and the price shown for wstETH is stETH's price times a steadily growing conversion rate, so it will always quote above ETH while tracking correctly. Nothing about that is a defect; it is the mechanic to understand before reading the quote as a premium.
POD
POD — listed under the name Dolphin — on Base at 0xed664536023d8e4b1640c394777d34abaff1df8f is a community token on the Coinbase-incubated layer-two chain, 203 days into its record at this snapshot. The September 26, 2026 read prices a $34.2 million market cap on a 500.0 million total supply, with a $206.2 million fully-diluted figure beside it — the wide gap between the two is the part of the float not yet circulating, which usually means locked, vested or treasury-held supply.
Liquidity is the strong half of the print: $3.4 million of tracked pool depth is deep for a cap this size, and $475.8 thousand of 24-hour volume is real flow rather than a dead chart. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot, so the authority posture is a question for the live scan — a gap to verify, not a verdict to assume.

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.
