What the data says about HYPE
One detail on HYPE didn't fully resolve in the 2026-08-19 snapshot: its authority state. 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.
On the trading data, HYPE shows $2.86M of on-chain liquidity and a holder base of 21,369 as of 2026-08-19. The $2.86M pool stands up well to a ~$43.19M cap — depth like that means HYPE absorbs normal flow without the price lurching. A 21,369-holder base is a fair start, but distribution matters more than the count — check how much sits in the largest wallets before leaning on it.
A grade is a moment in time, and HYPE's has room to move either way. It climbs as liquidity keeps building past $2.86M and the holder base stays healthy; and a thinner pool or a tighter spread among the 21,369 holders would nudge it down. On-chain data shifts week to week, so it's always worth a quick live check on HYPE before trading.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 36.8% of HYPE's supply as of 2026-08-16 — a comparatively wide distribution for its size. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

FAQ
Is HYPE a safe token?
As of the 2026-08-19 snapshot, HYPE scores 100/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, renounced freeze authority, liquidity of $2.86M and 21,369 holders. 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 HYPE, or is it a honeypot?
On Solana, the lever that can block a sale is the freeze authority, and HYPE's is renounced as of 2026-08-19 — no one can freeze your balance to trap you in. With $2.86M of liquidity there's a pool to sell into, though how cleanly depends on your size against that depth.
Who holds most of HYPE?
HYPE has 21,369 holders as of 2026-08-19. A headline count doesn't reveal how much the largest wallets control, so read it with the concentration figure on this page — broad distribution is a good sign, a few wallets owning most of the supply is not.
Can HYPE's supply be inflated?
The mint authority state couldn't be confirmed from the 2026-08-19 snapshot — verify it with a live scan before relying on the supply being fixed.
What is the HYPE contract address?
The HYPE mint address on Solana is 98sMhvDwXj1RQi5c5Mndm3vPe9cBqPrbLaufMXFNMh5g. 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 HYPE safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if HYPE clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (98sMhvDwXj1RQi5c5Mndm3vPe9cBqPrbLaufMXFNMh5g) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
