AI16Z was the flagship token of the ai16z / ElizaOS movement — the late-2024 AI-agent wave's most-watched Solana project, whose token at one point carried a valuation in the billions. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads roughly $530 thousand of market capitalization with 97,388 holders on mint HeLp6NuQkmYB4pYWo2zYs22mESHXPQYzXbB8n4V98jwC — a collapse of more than three orders of magnitude from peak, with the holder base left standing as the record of how big the moment was.
What the snapshot resolves: the freeze authority is confirmed revoked, so no remaining balance can be frozen. The mint authority did not resolve and is recorded unconfirmed — at this valuation the flag changes little, but the honest statement is "unknown, verify live," never an assumed pass. The authority guide covers what each flag would mean.
The remaining market is small but proportionate: about $38 thousand of tracked liquidity against the $530 thousand cap — over six percent, enough that the token still trades rather than merely existing. Exits at realistic size clear; the depth for anything larger left with the narrative.
AI16Z is a useful cautionary exhibit for the whole AI-agent token class: a first-mover brand, six-figure distribution, and none of it durable once attention rotated. Figures are the October 6, 2026 snapshot; the live scan gives the current read in seconds.

FAQ
Is AI16Z a safe token?
As of the 2026-09-26 snapshot, AI16Z scores 85/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on unconfirmed mint authority, renounced freeze authority, liquidity of $38.50K and 97,388 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 AI16Z, or is it a honeypot?
On Solana, the lever that can block a sale is the freeze authority, and AI16Z's is renounced as of 2026-09-26 — no one can freeze your balance to trap you in. With $38.50K of liquidity there's a pool to sell into, though how cleanly depends on your size against that depth.
Who holds most of AI16Z?
AI16Z has 97,388 holders as of 2026-09-26. 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 AI16Z's supply be inflated?
The mint authority state couldn't be confirmed from the 2026-09-26 snapshot — verify it with a live scan before relying on the supply being fixed.
What is the AI16Z contract address?
The AI16Z mint address on Solana is HeLp6NuQkmYB4pYWo2zYs22mESHXPQYzXbB8n4V98jwC. 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 AI16Z safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if AI16Z clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (HeLp6NuQkmYB4pYWo2zYs22mESHXPQYzXbB8n4V98jwC) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
