What the data says
VSN
VSN at 0x6fbbbd8bfb1cd3986b1d05e7861a0f62f87db74b — Vision — is an Arbitrum asset 314 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot. The asset-wide $165.2 million market cap dwarfs the $4.5 million fully-diluted figure priced on the 101.2 million local units — the familiar shape where the headline valuation lives on another venue while this chain carries a slice.
The local book is thin against that headline: $894.7 thousand of tracked depth on $38.5 thousand of daily volume — a quiet book that does its real clearing elsewhere. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot; the authority posture is a live-scan question.
RETH
rETH is Rocket Pool's liquid staking receipt — the decentralized alternative in the ETH-staking market: anyone can run a Rocket Pool "minipool" validator with 8 ETH plus RPL collateral, and rETH appreciates against ETH as rewards accrue. The contract 0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393 is the canonical deployment; our October 6, 2026 read shows $12.1 million of tracked pool liquidity, with rETH's deeper venues spread across the wider DeFi stack.
The honest framing: rETH's pitch is credible neutrality — a permissionless operator set rather than one company's validators — and the trade-off is the usual one: a smaller, more fragmented liquidity surface than stETH and its own smart-contract surface (minipool mechanics, oracle DAO) instead of a single issuer's operations. The wrapper price is not ETH's price — it floats on its own exchange rate and has traded at discounts in stress.
FAQ
Which is bigger, VSN or RETH?
By tracked market cap: VSN (Arbitrum) measures $165.24M and RETH (Ethereum) measures $1.00B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, VSN or RETH?
On the contract checks we publish: VSN (Arbitrum) grades B and RETH (Ethereum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have VSN and RETH performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show VSN at −2.91% and RETH at −9.02%.
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→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
