Is TUX safe?

Q: Is TUX a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, TUX scores 85/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $15.08K and 2,663 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.

Q: Can you sell TUX, or is it a honeypot?

The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on TUX — 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 $15.08K of measured depth.

Q: Who holds most of TUX?

The wallet that created TUX 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 2,663; 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.

Q: Can TUX'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.

Q: What is the TUX contract address?

The TUX contract address on Optimism is 0x17aabf6838a6303fc6e9c5a227dc1eb6d95c829a. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.

Q: Where can you buy TUX safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if TUX clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x17aabf6838a6303fc6e9c5a227dc1eb6d95c829a) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.

What the data says about TUX

TUX — MagicalTux, named for the Mt.Gox-era moniker — is a 1,008-day-old Optimism memecoin at 0x17aabf6838a6303fc6e9c5a227dc1eb6d95c829a, priced at a $50.2 thousand market cap across 2,663 wallets on the October 6, 2026 snapshot.

The contract is the locked set — no mint, no pause, no blacklist, verified source — and the float is moderately concentrated at 58.1% in the top ten. The venue is a vestige: $15.1 thousand of tracked liquidity on $523 of daily volume — nearly three years old and barely trading.

Grade A on contract flags, dormant on venue — an old meme name kept alive by a clean contract and a thin book.

Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 6, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.

Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 58.1% of TUX'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 TUX a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, TUX scores 85/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $15.08K and 2,663 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 TUX, or is it a honeypot?

The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on TUX — 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 $15.08K of measured depth.

Who holds most of TUX?

The wallet that created TUX 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 2,663; 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 TUX'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.

The TUX contract address on Optimism is 0x17aabf6838a6303fc6e9c5a227dc1eb6d95c829a. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
