Search for a token by name and a bunch of coins with the same name pop up—which one is the real one?
When buying or selling on a centralized exchange, you select a trading pair, so you don’t need to enter a contract address yourself. When withdrawing to a blockchain, you need to check the network and token.
Key point: For new coins labeled “v2” or “upgraded,” first check the original project’s official channels to see whether they’re legitimate.
When trading on Binance $DOGE , you don’t need to worry about the contract address, but there are countless tokens called DOGE on-chain. Current price: 0.0802.
Don’t rush into a trade just because everyone else is doing it.
