What the data says
WLD
WLD — 0x163f8c2467924be0ae7b5347228cabf260318753 — is Worldcoin, the identity network's token distributed to people who let an orb scan their iris. Three years in, it remains one of the widest — and most divisive — distributions in crypto.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $1.9 billion market cap against a fully diluted valuation of $4.9 billion — only about a third of the eventual supply circulates, the rest still locked in the emissions schedule. Tracked on-chain depth is thin for the size at $135.2 thousand; WLD's real liquidity lives on centralized venues. Holders number 64,146, and the day prints -11.1%.
LUSD
LUSD at 0xc40f949f8a4e094d1b49a23ea9241d289b7b2819 is the Optimism-bridged deployment of Liquity's USD — the dollar whose Ethereum original is famously immutable, which makes the local contract posture here the detail that matters. The October 6, 2026 snapshot prices the 110.4 thousand local units at $109.9 thousand fully diluted, inside the asset-wide $26.0 million market cap.
Unlike the governance-free Ethereum contract, this bridged deployment — 1,566 days into its record — still holds an active mint authority and new supply can be minted. Freeze authority is revoked, and it is not a proxy. The book is nearly dormant: $95.8 thousand of thin tracked depth on $689 of 24-hour volume, with 6,714 holders whose ten largest wallets hold 82.0% of supply.
FAQ
Which is bigger, WLD or LUSD?
By tracked market cap: WLD (Ethereum) measures $1.86B and LUSD (Optimism) measures $26.02M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, WLD or LUSD?
On the contract checks we publish: WLD (Ethereum) grades C and LUSD (Optimism) grades D. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have WLD and LUSD performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-27 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show WLD at −13.2% and LUSD at −0.96%.
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, 2026-09-27→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
