What the data says
CBZEC
cbZEC at 0xb2000000000000000000008501b13360000cb2ec — Coinbase Wrapped ZEC — is the exchange-issued wrapped claim on Zcash on Base, just 20 days into its record at the September 27, 2026 snapshot and priced at a $4.5 million market cap across 2.9 thousand units.
The launch book is workable and the tape is hot: $213.7 thousand of tracked depth on $1.7 million of 24-hour volume — the pool cycling eight times daily, a real trading book under a young float. What the snapshot cannot say is what the custody is worth: a wrapped claim's backing lives in the issuer's reserve, not on-chain at this address.
LINK
LINK is Chainlink's token — the asset that pays the oracle network most of DeFi runs on, making it one of the few crypto tokens tied to infrastructure the market actually uses every block. The deployment 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $24.0 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — a fraction of a float spread across every venue that lists it.
The honest shape: LINK's value thesis is payment for oracle services plus stake in the network's security model, so it carries a real-usage floor most tokens lack — and a valuation that has always run ahead of the fees the network actually collects. It is infrastructure exposure, not a cashflow claim, and the gap between "most-used oracle" and "token captures that usage" is the open question its holders are betting on.

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.
