HostDeFi score: higher = safer (0–100)

Flags to weigh
  • the contract can mint new supply — holders can be diluted at will contract red flags
  • the contract can pause transfers or blacklist wallets — balances can be frozen
  • the contract owner can change balances — it could zero a holder out holder distribution
  • the contract owner is hidden — control exists but is obscured
  • thin liquidity — fragile, easy to move liquidity locks
Clean checks
  • contract source code is verified
  • on a major token-security registry's trust list
  • the creator wallet holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) dev-wallet flags

What the data says about LINK

LINK has one open item that shapes the whole read, so let's start there. As of the 2026-10-09 read, the contract's mint and freeze levers hasn't been removed, which keeps the option open for them to create new supply or freeze transfers. That's what's holding the score at 14/100 for now; it's a good thing to keep an eye on, and the grade would rise if it's removed.

On the trading data, LINK shows $10.51K of on-chain liquidity, 4,075 holders and 1,751 days old as of 2026-10-09. Depth like $10.51K matters most relative to your own trade size; it's what decides whether you exit at the price you see or slip on the way out. The 4,075-wallet base is a reasonable spread of ownership, though a headline count doesn't show whether a few wallets dominate — the concentration read on this page speaks to that. The creator's own position is small — <0.01% of supply as of 2026-10-09, comfortably under the 5% line the scanners flag — which is what you want to see.

Nothing here is locked in, which is good news if the fundamentals keep improving. It improves once that permission is handed back and depth builds on today's $10.51K; and a thinner pool or a tighter spread among the 4,075 holders would nudge it down.

FAQ

Is LINK a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, LINK scores 14/100 (grade E) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, can freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $10.51K and 4,075 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 LINK, or is it a honeypot?

Careful here: LINK's contract can pause transfers or blacklist wallets as of 2026-10-09 — the EVM lever that can trap a sale is present. The power existing doesn't mean it will be used, but verify the current state with the live scan before trading.

Who holds most of LINK?

The wallet that created LINK 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 4,075; 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 LINK'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 LINK contract address?

The LINK contract address on cronos is 0xbc6f24649ccd67ec42342accdceccb2efa27c9d9. 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 LINK safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if LINK clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xbc6f24649ccd67ec42342accdceccb2efa27c9d9) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
