What the data says
ZEC
ZEC on Solana is a bridged representation of Zcash — the 2016-born privacy coin whose shielded transactions use zk-SNARKs to hide sender, receiver and amount. The October 6, 2026 snapshot values this deployment at roughly $153.8 million held by 109,600 wallets on mint A7bdiYdS5GjqGFtxf17ppRHtDKPkkRqbKtR27dxvQXaS.
The essential caveat is trust topology: native ZEC's privacy properties live on the Zcash chain; a wrapped unit on Solana inherits whatever the bridge custodies, not what the shielded pool guarantees. Holders here are trading ZEC's price exposure with Solana settlement speed — a different product from holding shielded ZEC itself.
BANANA
$BANANA at 0x3d4f0513e8a29669b960f9dbca61861548a9a760 — Banana For Scale — is a BNB Chain community token 672 days into its record at the October 9, 2026 snapshot, priced at a $67.3 million market cap across a 10.0 billion supply.
The book is workable but not the deep kind: $2.2 million of tracked pool depth on $1.8 million of 24-hour volume — a tape that nearly cycles the pool daily. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot, so the authority posture is a live-scan question rather than a claim this page makes.
FAQ
Which is bigger, ZEC or BANANA?
By tracked market cap: ZEC (Solana) measures $153.76M and BANANA (BNB Chain) measures $67.33M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, ZEC or BANANA?
On the contract checks we publish: ZEC (Solana) grades A and BANANA (BNB Chain) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have ZEC and BANANA performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show ZEC at −21.4% and BANANA at −15.4%.
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→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
