What the data says about VELO
VELO at 0x9560e827af36c94d2ac33a39bce1fe78631088db is Velodrome's exchange token — the emissions engine of the vote-escrow DEX that routes a large share of Optimism's stable-asset flow. This row is the VelodromeV2 deployment, 132 days into its record at the October 9, 2026 snapshot.
The figure carrying the analysis is the supply gap: a $47.5 million market cap against a $93.0 million fully-diluted read on 2.6 billion units — the distance between the two is the unemitted allocation the emissions schedule still holds, which is how a ve-model token is designed to work. Tracked depth of $1.6 million is workable for the size on $224.7 thousand of 24-hour volume.
Graded B. On an emissions asset the number a holder prices first is the gap between circulating and fully-diluted — it is the scheduled supply still ahead — and this page prints it measured rather than modeled.
Figures dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 79.95% of VELO'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.

Is VELO a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, VELO 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 $1.64M and 55,920 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 VELO, or is it a honeypot?
The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on VELO — 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 $1.64M of measured depth.
Who holds most of VELO?
The wallet that created VELO 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 55,920; 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 VELO'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 VELO contract address?
The VELO contract address on Optimism is 0x9560e827af36c94d2ac33a39bce1fe78631088db. 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 VELO safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if VELO clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x9560e827af36c94d2ac33a39bce1fe78631088db) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
