msUSD is Metronome Synth's synthetic dollar — you deposit volatile collateral (ETH, BTC wrappers) into the Synth engine and mint dollar-denominated synthetic positions against it. The contract 0x526728dbc96689597f85ae4cd716d4f7fccbae9d is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $5.2 million of pool liquidity as of October 6, 2026.
The honest note, stated plainly: a synthetic dollar is not a stablecoin — msUSD can and does trade off its one-dollar mark (our current read shows it well below), because its price is set by pool dynamics and mint-redemption incentives, not by an issuer redeeming at par. That is a different risk class from USDC or USDT — hold it as a leveraged-collateral instrument, not as cash.
Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 6, 2026; the scan refreshes them. Verify the contract on Metronome's official docs.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 95.93% of MSUSD's supply as of 2026-09-27 — a heavily concentrated distribution — a handful of accounts can move or exit this market at will. 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 MSUSD a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, MSUSD 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 $5.24M and 5,519 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 MSUSD, or is it a honeypot?
Our Base 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 MSUSD?
The wallet that created MSUSD 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 5,519; 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 MSUSD's supply be inflated?
This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Base aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.
What is the MSUSD contract address?
The MSUSD contract address on Base is 0x526728dbc96689597f85ae4cd716d4f7fccbae9d. 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 MSUSD safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if MSUSD clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x526728dbc96689597f85ae4cd716d4f7fccbae9d) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
