Can msUSD be sold? What we measured

BlazePhoenix's Quoter measured a live exit route for 1 msUSD0.658836 USDC at build time (2026-08-28) — the sell path existed when this page was generated. A route that exists today can still close tomorrow; re-run the check live before trading.

24h trade shape: 609 buys / 709 sells (54% sells). A near-zero sell share over many trades is the honeypot shape — tokens with that shape are refused a listing here outright.

Snapshot at the indexer read above — a spot rate, not a fill promise: large sizes move the price (the measured 1-token exit above is the honest anchor). For the live on-chain rate, open the swap: the quote there is computed by the Quoter contract, reproducible by anyone.

How to swap msUSD on Optimism

  1. Open the swap with msUSD pre-filled. Go to blazephoenix.xyz/?tab=swap&chain=10&out=0x9dabae7274d28a45f0b65bf8ed201a5731492ca0 — the Optimism chain and msUSD as the output token are already selected.
  2. Connect a wallet and enter the amount. Connect any wallet (no sign-up). Type the amount to spend; the quote is computed on-chain by the Quoter contract, so the number you see is reproducible by anyone.
  3. Set your own slippage and review. Choose a slippage limit — it becomes the on-chain minimum output the Router enforces. Review the route and the Phoenix Check verdicts.
  4. Sign and verify the fill. Sign in your wallet. The swap settles atomically under your minimum; the fill appears on the block explorer, verifiable against the quote.

msUSD on Optimism — questions people ask

How do I buy msUSD on Optimism?
Connect any wallet and paste the msUSD contract address (0x9dabae7274d28a45f0b65bf8ed201a5731492ca0) into BlazePhoenix on Optimism. The Quoter contract computes the quote on-chain, clamped to real pool depth; you set your own slippage and review before signing. No account, no KYC, no allowlist.
Is msUSD a honeypot or a scam?
BlazePhoenix does not label any token safe or scam. Instead you measure it: compare the advertised depth of each msUSD pool against its on-chain balanceOf, and test the sell path with a dust-sized trade before committing real size — a honeypot cannot deliver on the way out. Read the contract on the block explorer too. The facts are reproducible; the judgement is yours.
How much liquidity does msUSD have on Optimism?
As of 2026-08-28, msUSD shows $977,641 of real pool liquidity and $124,775 of 24h volume across 4 pool(s), read from DexScreener. Confirm it yourself by calling balanceOf on each pool address listed on this page.
Can I sell msUSD after buying it?
Test it before you need it: buy a dust-sized amount and sell it straight back, and measure what actually comes home. A token that blocks selling fails that round trip while the stake is still trivial. Never assume a sell will work — verify the round trip first.

Turnover (24h volume ÷ liquidity): 24h volume is 13% of pooled liquidity — a normally active market for its size.
