Tether USD (USDT)

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, USDT scores 55/100 (grade C) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $4.48M and 826,963 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.

The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on USDT — 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 $4.48M of measured depth.

USDT has 826,963 holders as of 2026-10-09. 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.

Yes — the contract can still mint new supply as of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, so the deployer or a minter role can dilute holders. Treat the circulating figure as a floor, not a cap.

The USDT contract address on Optimism is 0x94b008aa00579c1307b0ef2c499ad98a8ce58e58. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if USDT clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x94b008aa00579c1307b0ef2c499ad98a8ce58e58) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
