Is DAI safe?

As of the 2026-09-27 snapshot, DAI scores 75/100 (grade B) on NexFlow's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $2.10M and 178,669 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.

The 2026-09-27 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on DAI — 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 $2.10M of measured depth.

The wallet that created DAI holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-09-27 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 178,669; 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.

Yes — the contract can still mint new supply as of the 2026-09-27 snapshot, so the deployer or a minter role can dilute holders. Treat the circulating figure as a floor, not a cap.
