Check a token's contract address for risks

Verifying a token's contract address (CA) helps you confirm you're viewing the correct token and avoid scams or copycats that reuse familiar names or logos.

Find the contract address

To find a token's contract address in Phantom, follow these steps:

1. Open the token.
2. Find the Mint or Contract field:
   • Mint is used for Solana-based tokens.
   • Contract is used for Ethereum, other EVM-compatible networks, and Sui.
3. Copy the address.

You can also select More → View on [explorer] to open the token directly in a blockchain explorer.

Do a quick check using third-party tools

After you copy the CA, you can check it for potential risks. These tools highlight common red flags such as unlocked liquidity, suspicious permissions, or patterns associated with scams.
