What the data says
SDAI
sDAI is Savings Dai — DAI locked in Maker's DAI Savings Rate contract and returned as a share that appreciates against the stablecoin it wraps, DeFi's oldest "your dollar pays you" mechanism. The deployment 0x83f20f44975d03b1b09e64809b757c47f942beea is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $5.4 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest mechanics: sDAI's yield is Maker protocol revenue — real lending income distributed to savers, which is why the DSR survived when incentive-printed yields didn't — but the rate is governance-set, so the "savings rate" can be and has been dialed to near-zero when the DAO wanted it there. It is a policy rate, not a market one.
ZEC
ZEC on Solana is a bridged representation of Zcash — the 2016-born privacy coin whose shielded transactions use zk-SNARKs to hide sender, receiver and amount. The September 26, 2026 snapshot values this deployment at roughly $153.8 million held by 109,600 wallets on mint A7bdiYdS5GjqGFtxf17ppRHtDKPkkRqbKtR27dxvQXaS.
The essential caveat is trust topology: native ZEC's privacy properties live on the Zcash chain; a wrapped unit on Solana inherits whatever the bridge custodies, not what the shielded pool guarantees. Holders here are trading ZEC's price exposure with Solana settlement speed — a different product from holding shielded ZEC itself.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-26T21:07:21; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
