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 $1.7 million of pool liquidity as of October 9, 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.
BSW
BSW (listed under the name Lydia) is a Base token tracked at 0x3c5cd672b204ba0fc48e93b98c0922920a87912d; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $1.7 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest note is the mismatch itself: a token whose symbol and display name disagree is the kind of row where the contract address does all the work — names can be anything a deployer types, while the mint above is the actual asset. Whatever Lydia or BSW claims to be, this page's figures describe this contract only.

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→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
