What the data says
HLX
HLX — Helix Token on Ethereum, 0x28d4e499c4cde621e1cea7c9cbf9d43bf75a9525 — is a two-month-old token holding $345 thousand of liquidity in the October 6, 2026 snapshot, with roughly $764 thousand of daily volume.
Helix is a recycled name in crypto — it has served as the ticker for a DEX, an exchange, and several unrelated tokens across cycles. On Ethereum the collision matters less than on-chain identity: the contract above is the asset this page tracks, and any other "Helix" is a different instrument.
ZC
There's a lot to like about how ZC's contract is set up. Nobody can print fresh supply, which keeps every holder's share intact, and the contract can't pause or block transfers, leaving you free to trade on your own terms. Neither lever existing is the main reason ZC's 90/100 comes down to market factors, not contract ones (2026-10-09).
By the numbers, ZC is showing workable liquidity of $326.97K, 5,596 holders and a brand-new record at 6 days as of 2026-10-09. Against a market cap of about $17.94M, the $326.97K pool is workable rather than deep — fine for ordinary size to move in and out, though a larger position would start to feel the pool's edges. The 5,596-wallet base is a reasonable spread of ownership, though a headline count doesn't show whether a few wallets dominate — the concentration read on this page speaks to that. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just 0.73% of ZC as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.

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, 2026-10-06→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
