What the data says
ZRO
ZRO at 0x6985884c4392d348587b19cb9eaaf157f13271cd — LayerZero — is the Base deployment, 158 days into its record at the October 9, 2026 snapshot and carrying a byte-identical address to the Optimism one — the same omnichain contract deployed deterministically on each chain. The asset-wide $815.2 million market cap towers over the $12.4 million fully-diluted figure on 6.1 million local units.
The local book is thin for the headline but the tape is the liveliest of the ZRO books: $302.9 thousand of tracked depth on $912.0 thousand of 24-hour volume — turnover three times the pool daily. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
GTC
GTC on Optimism at 0x1eba7a6a72c894026cd654ac5cdcf83a46445b08 wears the Gitcoin governance token's ticker, but the contract behind this address is the opposite of what that name implies: it can mint new supply, and — the power that earns the grade — the contract owner can change balances outright, meaning a holder's balance could be altered or zeroed without any transaction from that holder.
Everything else is secondary to that lever. A $17 thousand pool is thin and fragile; the ten largest wallets hold about 95.2% of supply; the book is 1,569 days old with 10,070 wallets and a $90 thousand cap at the October 9, 2026 snapshot.

How have ZRO and GTC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-26 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show ZRO at +12.7% and GTC at +139%.
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, 2026-09-26→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
