What the data says
FLUID
FLUID is the token of Fluid — the DEX-and-lending protocol built by the Instadapp team, one of Ethereum DeFi's longest-running builders. The contract 0x6f40d4a6237c257fff2db00fa0510deeecd303eb is what our scan tracks: $475 thousand of pool liquidity as of October 6, 2026.
The honest read: Fluid is a working protocol with real lending and DEX volume, and the token is a governance-and-value-accrual claim on that activity — a cleaner fundamental story than most of the corpus carries. The caution is the usual one for mid-cap DeFi: liquidity on public pools is modest relative to the fully-diluted supply, and the token trades on sector sentiment at least as much as on protocol metrics.
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.

How have FLUID and ZC 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.
