Flags to weigh
  • upgradeable proxy contract — the code behind the address can be swapped after you buy
  • contract-level controls not assessed in this snapshot — verify with a live scan
Clean checks
  • contract source code is verified
  • on a major token-security registry's trust list
  • liquidity depth is healthy liquidity locks
  • the creator wallet holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) dev-wallet flags

What the data says about WBTC

There's a small gap on this page — WBTC's contract flags weren't fully confirmed as of 2026-10-09. So rather than assume anything either way, it's worth a direct check, and the scanner above reads it live in a couple of seconds before you trade.

By the numbers, WBTC is showing a $328.24K pool, 4,015 holders and 1,736 days old as of 2026-10-09. Encouragingly, that $328.24K pool is deep relative to a market cap of about $1.81M — the kind of ratio that lets real size move in and out without much slippage. The 4,015-wallet base is a reasonable spread of ownership, though a headline count doesn't show whether a few wallets dominate — the concentration read on this page speaks to that. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of WBTC as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.

Nothing here is locked in, which is good news if the fundamentals keep improving. WBTC moves up as depth grows beyond today's $328.24K and ownership stays well spread; and a thinner pool or a tighter spread among the 4,015 holders would nudge it down. On-chain data shifts week to week, so it's always worth a quick live check on WBTC before trading.

FAQ

Is WBTC a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, WBTC 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 $328.24K and 4,015 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 WBTC, or is it a honeypot?

Our gnosis 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 WBTC?

The wallet that created WBTC 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 4,015; 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 WBTC's supply be inflated?

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

What is the WBTC contract address?

The WBTC contract address on gnosis is 0x8e5bbbb09ed1ebde8674cda39a0c169401db4252. 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 WBTC safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if WBTC clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x8e5bbbb09ed1ebde8674cda39a0c169401db4252) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
