What the data says about QI
QI at 0x8729438eb15e2c8b576fcc6aecda6a148776c0f5 is BENQI's governance token — Avalanche's original money-market protocol — 1,820 days into its record at the October 9, 2026 snapshot and priced at a $19.9 million market cap across a 7.2 billion supply.
The book is workable and the tape alive five years in: $232.4 thousand of tracked depth on $45.8 thousand of 24-hour volume — a real protocol-token pool, not a listing stub. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
Graded B. A native Avalanche protocol token with half a decade of record: the page prints the measured pool and tape on the contract that has answered to QI since the chain's first DeFi wave.
Figures dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 67.92% of QI'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 QI a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, QI scores 92/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $232.38K and 39,822 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 QI, or is it a honeypot?
The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on QI — 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 $232.38K of measured depth.
Who holds most of QI?
The wallet that created QI 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 39,822; 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 QI's supply be inflated?
No — the contract cannot mint new supply as of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, so the circulating figure is a ceiling.
What is the QI contract address?
The QI contract address on Avalanche is 0x8729438eb15e2c8b576fcc6aecda6a148776c0f5. 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 QI safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if QI clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x8729438eb15e2c8b576fcc6aecda6a148776c0f5) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
