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 October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $48.3 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.
SURPLUS
SURPLUS at 0xc52aedec3374422d7510e294cfaa90799595cba3 — styled Surplus Intelligence — is a young Base asset just 128 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot, priced at a $10.7 million market cap across a 100.0 billion supply.
What separates this row from the average young Base book is the pool: $2.5 million of tracked depth is deep relative to a $10.7 million cap — nearly a quarter of the valuation is matched by the exit book — on $912.4 thousand of 24-hour volume, an unusually busy tape for the age. The contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot; the authority posture is a live-scan question, not an assumption here.

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.
