What the data says about DAI

DAI at 0xda10009cbd5d07dd0cecc66161fc93d7c9000da1 is the canonical-bridge deployment of MakerDAO's collateral-backed dollar on Optimism — the decentralized stablecoin the ecosystem was built around before the native dollar issuers arrived. The October 9, 2026 snapshot prices 13.6 million units at a $13.6 million market cap — the parity a dollar claim should print when the float and the price are both honest.

Tracked depth of $540.1 thousand is workable for the size on $26.6 thousand of 24-hour volume — a quiet tape that is the point rather than a warning: DAI's role in a layer-two book is collateral that sits, not an asset that churns. The deployment is 1,518 days into its record, one of the earliest bridged books this index carries for the chain.

Graded B. One identity note worth keeping: this index's Arbitrum row for DAI carries the same contract address — the canonical bridge deployed it deterministically on both chains — so the address alone does not settle which claim a holder is looking at; the chain in the URL does.

Figures dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.

Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 82.89% of DAI'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 DAI a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, DAI scores 75/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $540.05K and 121,658 holders. 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 DAI, or is it a honeypot?

The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on DAI — 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 $540.05K of measured depth.

Who holds most of DAI?

DAI has 121,658 holders as of 2026-10-09. A headline count doesn't reveal how much the largest wallets control, so read it with the concentration figure on this page — broad distribution is a good sign, a few wallets owning most of the supply is not.

Can DAI'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 DAI contract address?

The DAI contract address on Optimism is 0xda10009cbd5d07dd0cecc66161fc93d7c9000da1. 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 DAI safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if DAI clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xda10009cbd5d07dd0cecc66161fc93d7c9000da1) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
