## What HOME is

HOME is a cryptocurrency / digital asset — the token of **defi.app**, positioned as "Crypto's Everything App." Per the project's self-description and CoinGecko data cited in [[1]](https://www.ainvest.com/news/home-token-research-june-16-2026-2606/), HOME runs on Base, BNB Smart Chain, and Solana, sits in the DeFi / account-abstraction / DEX-aggregator category, and trades across 42 exchanges (45 markets), including Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, Gate, KuCoin, MEXC, and Bitget, plus DEXs like PancakeSwap, Aerodrome, and Meteora, with the **Binance HOME/USDT** pair as the top venue.

Two critical caveats on identity:
- **[[1]](https://www.ainvest.com/news/home-token-research-june-16-2026-2606/) warns of a copycat:** a separate micro-cap **"OtterHome (HOME)"** on Arbitrum with a ~$1M market cap and near-zero price. The report covers the defi.app token on Binance/Coinbase/Base, and contract address verification is advised.
- HOME is a token, **not a security** — no company filings, earnings, or share fundamentals apply.
