What the data says about PAXG
PAXG is Paxos's tokenized gold — each token a claim on one fine troy ounce held in LBMA vaults in London, making it the most direct on-chain gold exposure in this index. The deployment 0x45804880de22913dafe09f4980848ece6ecbaf78 is the canonical mint; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $6.2 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest frame is the custodial one: a PAXG is only as good as Paxos's vault attestations and redemption rails — Paxos is a NYDFS-regulated trust, which puts this in the "institutional-grade claim" bucket alongside USDC rather than the commodity-fantasy bucket — but it is still a claim, and redemption has minimums most wallets will never meet. The token tracks spot gold minus the custody premium; what it cannot track is the deep liquidity of actual gold markets.

Is PAXG a safe token?
As of the 2026-09-14 snapshot, PAXG scores 80/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, unconfirmed freeze authority, liquidity of $6.17M. 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 PAXG, or is it a honeypot?
Our Ethereum read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-09-14. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.
Who holds most of PAXG?
Per-wallet distribution for PAXG wasn't resolved in the 2026-09-14 snapshot. Run the live scan, which reads holder concentration directly from the chain.
Can PAXG'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 PAXG contract address?
The PAXG contract address on Ethereum is 0x45804880de22913dafe09f4980848ece6ecbaf78. 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 PAXG safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if PAXG clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x45804880de22913dafe09f4980848ece6ecbaf78) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
