How to check a token is the real one
Anyone can make a token and give it any name, so two tokens can share a ticker. Before you buy, check you have the one you meant. It takes a minute.
1. Search the name
Type the name or ticker in the box on the home page. You see every token using that name, and the chain each one is on.
2. Look for Verified
Verified means the person running the page proved they made the token, or control it. No badge means nobody has proved it yet. The badge says who is behind the page. It doesn't say whether the token is a good buy.
3. Match the chain and the address
The same ticker can exist on several chains. The contract address is what tells tokens apart: a long code shown on the page. Compare it with the address the creator posts themselves. One different character means a different token.
4. Check the links
A link with its own check mark was proved too: the creator showed they own that X account, website or Discord. Open it and see that it points back to this page.
5. Watch for the copycat flag
Search marks a token that took another token's ticker, or one a letter or two off it. If the one you found is flagged, it isn't the original.
6. See whether the liquidity is locked
Liquidity is the money in the pool that lets people buy and sell. On a token launched with Chain Daddy the page shows it as Locked: nobody can withdraw it, the creator included. Other tokens show the figures they have.
7. Look at the health score
Every registered token has a health score from 0 to 100, updated daily. It measures activity: trading, holders, and how long it has been registered. It is not a prediction of its price.
