FAQ
Is MKR a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, MKR scores 49/100 (grade D) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, can freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $1.31M and 75,008 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 MKR, or is it a honeypot?
Careful here: MKR's contract can pause transfers or blacklist wallets as of 2026-10-09 — the EVM lever that can trap a sale is present. The power existing doesn't mean it will be used, but verify the current state with the live scan before trading.
Who holds most of MKR?
The wallet that created MKR 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 75,008; 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 MKR'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 MKR contract address?
The MKR contract address on Ethereum is 0x9f8f72aa9304c8b593d555f12ef6589cc3a579a2. 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 MKR safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if MKR clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x9f8f72aa9304c8b593d555f12ef6589cc3a579a2) 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 MKR — written from the stored snapshot, figures re-rendered at each refresh.
MKR — 0x9f8f72aa9304c8b593d555f12ef6589cc3a579a2 — is MakerDAO's governance token, caught mid-story: the protocol rebranded to Sky and re-denominated its governance asset (MKR → SKY at 1:24,000) while both tickers trade. This row tracks the original MKR contract — still live, still convertible — which makes its snapshot numbers read strange to anyone who doesn't know the migration is running.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads an $146.8 million fully-diluted value and $1.3 million of tracked depth against 75,008 holders — and a top-10 concentration of 197%, a number that is impossible on its face. Concentration over 100% is not a hidden whale; it is the snapshot double-counting supply that is mid-migration between the two tickers, an honest artifact of measuring a token that is half-converted.
The scan flags that matter are real, though: mint and freeze authorities are both active on this contract — Maker's governance genuinely can issue new MKR and pause transfers, powers it has used (the freeze lever exists for Dai's emergency design). Graded D at 49/100 on the flags alone. The context that keeps it from reading as a scam is eight years of that governance operating in public — but the powers are live, the migration splits its liquidity with SKY, and anyone buying MKR today is buying the predecessor of a token the protocol itself is replacing.
