What the data says about POL
POL — 0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 — is the Polygon Ecosystem Token, the successor asset that replaced MATIC as Polygon's gas and staking token in the network's 2024 upgrade.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $1.1 billion market cap, fully circulating against an equal FDV, with 105,309 holders. Tracked on-chain depth runs $49.8 thousand — POL's liquidity is overwhelmingly on centralized venues and its home chain, not the pools this ledger prices. The day prints -1.6%.
The grade is the honest surprise: D, 41/100. The contract sits behind a live admin surface — mint and freeze controls are not disabled — which for a major L2 gas token means the risk sits in the protocol's governance and key management rather than in a fixed, finished contract. That is a real trade-off, not a verdict: Polygon's upgrade path requires that flexibility, but the scan correctly prices what it sees — a billion-dollar asset whose contract can still be switched.
Figures dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 78.92% of POL'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.

Is POL a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, POL scores 34/100 (grade E) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, can freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $49.75K and 105,309 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 POL, or is it a honeypot?
Careful here: POL'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 POL?
The wallet that created POL 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 105,309; 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 POL'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 POL contract address?
The POL contract address on Ethereum is 0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6. 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 POL safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if POL clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
