What the data says about LINK
One detail on LINK didn't fully resolve in the 2026-08-10 snapshot: its authority state. So it's best treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed clean, and the scanner above reads it live in a couple of seconds before you trade.
On the market side, LINK brings deep liquidity of $21.00M and an established record at 1,685 days as of 2026-08-10. Read $21.00M of depth against the size you intend to trade rather than in isolation — it's the pool your exit has to pass through, so it doubles as a sensible position ceiling.
Where does LINK go from here? Two things to watch. The upside is straightforward — deeper liquidity than $21.00M and a healthy spread of holders; and it would slip if concentration crept up among the holders or depth faded. Since this can move any block, a quick live scan gives you LINK's up-to-the-moment picture.

FAQ
Is LINK a safe token?
As of the 2026-08-10 snapshot, LINK scores 80/100 (grade B) on TrustDex's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, unconfirmed freeze authority, liquidity of $21.00M. 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 LINK, or is it a honeypot?
Our Ethereum read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-08-10. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.
Who holds most of LINK?
Per-wallet distribution for LINK wasn't resolved in the 2026-08-10 snapshot. Run the live scan, which reads holder concentration directly from the chain.
Can LINK's supply be inflated?
This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Ethereum aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.
What is the LINK contract address?
The LINK contract address on Ethereum is 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca. 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 LINK safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if LINK clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
