  • contract-level controls not assessed in this snapshot — verify with a live scan
Clean checks
  • contract source code is verified
  • on a major token-security registry's trust list
  • liquidity is workable for the token's size liquidity locks
  • the creator wallet holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) dev-wallet flags

What the data says about USDC

One detail on USDC didn't fully resolve in the 2026-10-09 snapshot: its contract controls. So rather than assume anything either way, it's worth a direct check, and a quick live scan will confirm the current state for you.

On the trading data, USDC shows $321.06K of on-chain liquidity, 83,501 holders and 564 days old as of 2026-10-09. Against a market cap of about $14.16M, the $321.06K pool is workable rather than deep — fine for ordinary size to move in and out, though a larger position would start to feel the pool's edges. 83,501 holders is a decent base; just remember the number alone doesn't reveal how much the top wallets control, so weigh it with the concentration figure. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of USDC as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.

A grade is a moment in time, and USDC's has room to move either way. The upside is straightforward — deeper liquidity than $321.06K and a healthy spread of holders; and it dips if the pool shrinks or ownership bunches into fewer hands. It's a 2026-10-09 snapshot rather than a live feed, so give USDC a fresh scan before you commit.

FAQ

Is USDC a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, USDC 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 $321.06K and 83,501 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 USDC, or is it a honeypot?

Our gnosis 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 USDC?

The wallet that created USDC 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 83,501; 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 USDC's supply be inflated?

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

What is the USDC contract address?

The USDC contract address on gnosis is 0xddafbb505ad214d7b80b1f830fccc89b60fb7a83. 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 USDC safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if USDC clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xddafbb505ad214d7b80b1f830fccc89b60fb7a83) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
