What the data says
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 October 6, 2026 read prices a $64.1 million market cap on a 500.0 million total supply, with a $383.5 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: $1.5 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.
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 October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $27.0 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.
FAQ
Which is bigger, POD or TBTC?
By tracked market cap: POD (Base) measures $64.05M and TBTC (Ethereum) measures $358.59M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, POD or TBTC?
On the contract checks we publish: POD (Base) grades D and TBTC (Ethereum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have POD and TBTC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show POD at +68.3% and TBTC at −1.69%.
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→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
