What the data says about DRV
DRV is the token of Derive — the on-chain options and perpetuals protocol that grew out of Lyra, one of crypto's oldest options venues. The contract 0x9d0e8f5b25384c7310cb8c6ae32c8fbeb645d083 is what our scan tracks: $428 thousand of pool liquidity as of August 17, 2026 on Base.
The honest framing: Derive is a real protocol with real derivatives volume, and the token's case ties to that usage — but on-chain options remain a niche that has repeatedly grown slower than its builders projected. DRV is a bet on the venue's volumes compounding, and the pool depth here is functional rather than deep, so size accordingly.
Figures are HostDeFi's read dated August 17, 2026; the scan refreshes them. Verify the contract address through the project's official channels before trading — ticker collisions are the corpus's most common trap.

Is DRV a safe token?
As of the 2026-08-17 snapshot, DRV scores 80/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, unconfirmed freeze authority, liquidity of $427.77K. 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 DRV, or is it a honeypot?
Our Base read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-08-17. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.
Who holds most of DRV?
Per-wallet distribution for DRV wasn't resolved in the 2026-08-17 snapshot. Run the live scan, which reads holder concentration directly from the chain.
Can DRV's supply be inflated?
This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Base aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.
What is the DRV contract address?
The DRV contract address on Base is 0x9d0e8f5b25384c7310cb8c6ae32c8fbeb645d083. 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 DRV safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if DRV clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x9d0e8f5b25384c7310cb8c6ae32c8fbeb645d083) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
