FAQ
Is DAI a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, DAI scores 75/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $53.63M and 710,510 holders, with the creator wallet holding <0.01% of supply. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell DAI, or is it a honeypot?
The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on DAI — no honeypot flag, no transfer pause, no blacklist — and every honeypot GoPlus positively flags is dropped from this index outright. That clears the contract side; how cleanly an exit fills still depends on your size against the $53.63M of measured depth.
Who holds most of DAI?
The wallet that created DAI holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-10-09 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 710,510; a broad base lowers the odds that any one seller can steer the price, but the creator's share is the number to watch first.
Can DAI's supply be inflated?
Yes — the contract can still mint new supply as of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, so the deployer or a minter role can dilute holders. Treat the circulating figure as a floor, not a cap.
What is the DAI contract address?
The DAI contract address on Ethereum is 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy DAI safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if DAI clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.

HostDeFi's generated read on DAI — written from the stored snapshot, figures re-rendered at each refresh.
DAI answered a question the other stablecoins on this site don't ask: can a dollar exist on-chain without a company behind it? Since 2019, the contract at 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f has held near a dollar not because anyone promises redemption at a bank, but because every DAI is minted against locked crypto collateral worth more than it, with interest rates and liquidations — governed by MakerDAO, now rebranded Sky — doing the work a treasurer would. No single company can freeze your DAI or pause the contract; that censorship-resistance is the property its holders are actually paying for.
The honest complications have grown over the years. A large share of DAI's backing has long included centralized stablecoins and real-world assets, which reimports a slice of the issuer risk the design was born to escape — the March 2023 weekend when USDC's depeg dragged DAI to roughly $0.89 alongside it made that dependency visible. And the 2024 rebrand to Sky, with its upgrade path to the newer USDS token, means DAI is now the legacy branch of its own ecosystem: still enormous, still redeemable through the same machinery, but no longer where its creators' roadmap points. Neither fact is a defect; both belong in the price of holding it.
One number on this page needs explicit deflation: our October 9, 2026 snapshot shows only about $53.6 million of tracked pool liquidity, which wildly underreads DAI's true market. DAI's multi-billion-dollar supply trades through Curve-style stable pools, aggregator routes, and CEX books our sample doesn't enumerate. Treat that figure as an artifact of sampling, not a liquidity warning — though for very large swaps, the quote is still the truth-teller.
Contract mechanics: no freeze authority over holders, supply governed by the protocol's vault system rather than a mint key. Verify the address — five-character lookalike tickers stalk every famous name. Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them in seconds.
