Is this token junk?

Paste a coin's address before you buy. In seconds you get a grade and the reasons why.

Check a token

Try one:
Where do I find a token's address?
  1. Open the coin's page on CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap. Look for Contract and tap the copy button.
  2. Or open your wallet app, tap the token, and look for Contract or Token address.
  3. Paste it in the box above. That's it.

Never copy an address someone sent you in a DM or a group chat. Scammers send fake ones.
