Flags to weigh
  • the contract can mint new supply — holders can be diluted at will contract red flags
  • the contract owner can change balances — it could zero a holder out holder distribution
  • the contract owner is hidden — control exists but is obscured
  • the pool is large in dollars but thin against this token's own market cap — size an exit against the pool, not the cap
Clean checks
  • the contract cannot pause or blacklist transfers
  • contract source code is verified
  • the creator wallet holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) dev-wallet flags

What the data says about AAVE

There's one detail worth understanding before anything else on AAVE. As of 2026-10-09, AAVE's contract still holds a mint function, which means the team can still create new supply. It's the main reason the read sits at 49/100 (grade D) today — and the clearest path to a higher grade is simply removing it.

Looking at the market data, AAVE shows $1.27M of on-chain liquidity, 136,676 holders and an established record at 608 days as of 2026-10-09. The number worth sitting with is that $1.27M of depth against a market cap of about $2.79B — a thin pool for a token this size, which means a position that feels small to you can still be large for the pool: AAVE reprices on relatively little flow, and a sizable exit will slip. A holder base of 136,676 is reassuring too — counts like that are difficult to fake and point to real, spread-out ownership rather than a few concentrated hands. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of AAVE as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.

The nice thing about a read like this is that it isn't fixed. It strengthens as soon as the authority is renounced and depth keeps growing past $1.27M; and a thinner pool or a tighter spread among the 136,676 holders would nudge it down. On-chain data shifts week to week, so it's always worth a quick live check on AAVE before trading.

FAQ

Is AAVE a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, AAVE scores 49/100 (grade D) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $1.27M and 136,676 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 AAVE, or is it a honeypot?

The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on AAVE — 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 $1.27M of measured depth.

Who holds most of AAVE?

The wallet that created AAVE 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 136,676; 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 AAVE's supply be inflated?

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.

What is the AAVE contract address?

The AAVE contract address on Base is 0x63706e401c06ac8513145b7687a14804d17f814b. 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 AAVE safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if AAVE clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x63706e401c06ac8513145b7687a14804d17f814b) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
