Flags to weigh
  • upgradeable proxy contract — the code behind the address can be swapped after you buy
  • the pool is large in dollars but thin against this token's own market cap — size an exit against the pool, not the cap
  • contract-level controls not assessed in this snapshot — verify with a live scan
Clean checks
  • contract source code is verified
  • the creator wallet holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) dev-wallet flags

What the data says about USDG

USDG is the Global Dollar Network's stablecoin — the Paxos-issued dollar launched by a consortium (Anchorage, Bullish, Kraken, Robinhood among them) designed to share reserve yield with its distribution partners rather than keep it all at the issuer. The deployment 0xe343167631d89b6ffc58b88d6b7fb0228795491d is the Ethereum mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $13.8 million of tracked pool liquidity.

The honest mechanics: yield-sharing is the pitch — partners who distribute USDG get a cut of the reserve's T-bill income, which is why the consortium model exists. Paxos issuance means the regulatory shape is familiar (the same issuer behind PYUSD); the network's job is distribution, and the depth read here is the on-chain footprint of a coin whose real volume may live on partner exchanges.

Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them. A sibling USDG row exists on Solana in this index.

Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 78.14% of USDG'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 USDG a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, USDG 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 $13.83M and 9,343 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 USDG, or is it a honeypot?

Our Ethereum 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 USDG?

The wallet that created USDG 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 9,343; 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 USDG's supply be inflated?

This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Ethereum aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.

What is the USDG contract address?

The USDG contract address on Ethereum is 0xe343167631d89b6ffc58b88d6b7fb0228795491d. 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 USDG safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if USDG clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xe343167631d89b6ffc58b88d6b7fb0228795491d) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
