What the data says
ZORA
ZORA at 0x1111111111166b7fe7bd91427724b487980afc69 is the Zora creator-network token on Base, 516 days into its record at the October 9, 2026 snapshot. The $31.1 million market cap prices under half of the $69.7 million fully-diluted figure on 10.0 billion units.
The book is thin for the cap but the tape is the busiest in this slice of the corpus: $5.5 million of tracked depth on $416.4 thousand of 24-hour volume — turnover several times the pool daily, a heavily routed book. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
BASE
BASE is a memecoin trading on Base — and the single most important fact about it is what it is not: the Base network has no native token, Coinbase has said so repeatedly, and every "BASE" token on any chain is a community meme trading on the brand confusion. The contract 0xa342ddcd9348fcb57aaf4cc686989f8498183b07 is the largest of several such pools our scan tracks, at $4.9 million of liquidity as of October 6, 2026.
The honest shape: as memecoins go it carries one structural hazard most don't — its entire demand depends on buyers believing, or joking about, an official-token story that is explicitly false. That confusion is the demand. There is no protocol, revenue, or claim behind it, and there cannot be.

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