the contract owner can change balances — it could zero a holder out holder distribution
thin liquidity — fragile, easy to move liquidity locks

What the data says about KNC

KNC at 0xa00e3a3511aac35ca78530c85007afcd31753819 — Kyber Network Crystal v2 — is the bridged Optimism deployment of the Kyber protocol's governance asset, 1,030 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot. The asset-wide $30.0 million market cap towers over a $61.2 thousand fully-diluted figure priced on 427.1 thousand local units.

The local book is thin to the point of nominal: $47.8 thousand of tracked depth on $406 of 24-hour volume — a slice that sees almost no trading on this chain. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.

Graded B. Kyber's token lives on Ethereum — this page's honest function is pinning the exact Optimism contract and printing just how small the local slice is, so the thirty-million headline is never mistaken for local depth.

Figures dated October 6, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.

Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 91.38% of KNC'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 KNC a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, KNC scores 40/100 (grade D) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $47.84K and 2,280 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 KNC, or is it a honeypot?

The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on KNC — 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 $47.84K of measured depth.

Who holds most of KNC?

The wallet that created KNC 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 2,280; 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 KNC'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 KNC contract address?

The KNC contract address on Optimism is 0xa00e3a3511aac35ca78530c85007afcd31753819. 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 KNC safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if KNC clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xa00e3a3511aac35ca78530c85007afcd31753819) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
