What the data says
STLINK
Staked LINK is LINK deposited into Chainlink's native staking — the token that secures the oracle network's economic guarantees and earns emissions for doing it. The deployment 0xb8b295df2cd735b15be5eb419517aa626fc43cd5 is the staking receipt; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $5.4 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest shape: stLINK trades LINK's oracle-usage thesis with a staking yield on top and a liquidity discount underneath — the staked form exits slower than the base asset, and the yield is emissions-funded rather than fee-funded, which makes it a bet on the network's token economics holding their value, not on fees it collects.
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, 2026-09-14→2026-09-26T21:07:21; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
