What the data says
ZEN
ZEN is Horizen's token — a veteran privacy-chain project that migrated its ecosystem onto a Base-settled architecture after years as a standalone chain. The contract 0xf43eb8de897fbc7f2502483b2bef7bb9ea179229 is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $1.4 million of pool liquidity as of September 26, 2026.
The honest read: ZEN is a legacy-network bet in a new wrapper — the zero-knowledge lineage and once-large validator base are real, and so is the migration risk: projects that replatform are simultaneously conceding the old home couldn't hold them and asking the new one to re-rate them. Watch whether Base-era usage actually follows the token.
TEL
TEL at 0xdf7837de1f2fa4631d716cf2502f8b230f1dcc32 is Telcoin's remittance asset in its PoS-bridged Polygon form — the payments token aimed at telecom corridors, carried to the chain where its retail flow actually trades. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices a $172.2 million asset-wide market cap against a $67.1 million fully-diluted read of the local float — 38.3 billion units sitting on this chain.
The book is honest mid-cap shape: $1.4 million of tracked pool depth is workable for the size, on $72.2 thousand of 24-hour volume — a working tape rather than a churn chart. The deployment is 327 days into this index's record.

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.
