What the data says
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.
APE
APE — ApeCoin at 0x4d224452801aced8b2f0aebe155379bb5d594381 — is the token of the Bored Ape ecosystem, issued to Yuga Labs' NFT holders at the 2022 peak and governing the APE DAO and its ApeChain ambitions since. It is a brand token of crypto's most famous NFT franchise, priced on what remains of that brand's gravity.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $141.9 million market cap — fully circulating at the one-billion supply — with $235.5 thousand of tracked on-chain depth and 189,618 holders. That on-chain book is thin for a cap this size: APE's real trading happens on centralized venues, so the price you see on-chain leans on them.

How have ZC and APE performed over the shared window?

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.
