What the data says about LINK
LINK on BNB Chain at 0xf8a0bf9cf54bb92f17374d9e9a321e6a111a51bd is the Binance-Peg representation of Chainlink — a claim on LINK value issued under Binance's peg system rather than the original Ethereum contract. What the wrapper buys is cheap, fast trading on BSC; what it adds is a second party whose backing has to be trusted.
The measured read: this contract can still mint new supply — a lever the peg operator keeps by design, so dilution risk lives with the operator rather than the code — while pausing and blacklisting are disabled, source is verified, a major security registry lists it, and the creator wallet holds under 0.01% of supply. 201,975 wallets carry the book.
The thin spot is depth: $1.7 million of tracked liquidity is real money in isolation but slim against a $10.6 billion market cap — exits route through a much smaller door than the headline implies.
Figures dated September 27, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 41.44% of LINK's supply as of 2026-09-27 — meaningful concentration; watch whether the large accounts are pools and lockers or free wallets. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

Is LINK a safe token?
As of the 2026-09-27 snapshot, LINK 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 $1.73M and 201,975 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 LINK, or is it a honeypot?
The 2026-09-27 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on LINK — 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 $1.73M of measured depth.
Who holds most of LINK?
The wallet that created LINK holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-09-27 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 201,975; 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 LINK's supply be inflated?
Yes — the contract can still mint new supply as of the 2026-09-27 snapshot, so the deployer or a minter role can dilute holders. Treat the circulating figure as a floor, not a cap.
What is the LINK contract address?
The LINK contract address on BNB Chain is 0xf8a0bf9cf54bb92f17374d9e9a321e6a111a51bd. 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 LINK safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if LINK clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xf8a0bf9cf54bb92f17374d9e9a321e6a111a51bd) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
