What the data says about UNI

UNI is Uniswap's governance token — the asset of the protocol that invented the automated market maker and still clears more DEX volume than the rest of the field combined. The deployment 0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $26.9 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.

The honest asymmetry is the governance-token shape: UNI's thesis is control over a fee-generating machine, but the "fee switch" — the mechanism that would route protocol revenue to holders — has been proposed and deferred for years, so the token trades on governance value and the perennial expectation rather than cashflow it actually pays. That makes its valuation more reflexive than a productive asset's.

Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.

Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 52.13% of UNI'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.

FAQ

Is UNI a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, UNI scores 100/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $26.90M and 383,059 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 UNI, or is it a honeypot?

The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on UNI — 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 $26.90M of measured depth.

Who holds most of UNI?

The wallet that created UNI 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 383,059; 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 UNI'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 UNI contract address?

The UNI contract address on Ethereum is 0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984. 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 UNI safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if UNI clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
