FAQ

Is USDC a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, USDC scores 80/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that has unconfirmed mint controls, has unconfirmed freeze and blacklist controls, liquidity of $440.97M and 9,248,454 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 USDC, or is it a honeypot?

Our Ethereum read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-10-09. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.

Who holds most of USDC?

The wallet that created USDC 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 9,248,454; 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 USDC's supply be inflated?

This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Ethereum aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.

What is the USDC contract address?

The USDC contract address on Ethereum is 0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48. 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 USDC safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if USDC clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.

USD Coin intel

HostDeFi's generated read on USDC — written from the stored snapshot, figures re-rendered at each refresh.

This is the canonical USDC — Circle's dollar at the original Ethereum mint 0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48, the stablecoin institutional DeFi settles in, backed by cash and short-dated Treasuries with monthly Big-Four attestations. The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $441.0 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — a deliberate-looking small print for the most liquid digital dollar on earth, whose real depth spans every venue and chain.

That modest figure is the index's window, not the asset's reality — and worth contrasting with its sibling row: a second USDC-branded contract (0x26d2…) prints nearly a hundred times this depth in our data, which is exactly the shape that should trigger the verify-address reflex rather than the "bigger is better" one. This address is the one Circle actually operates; the other is whatever its deployer is.

Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them. When in doubt, the mint above is the identity.
