The official contract address for MEW (cat in a dogs world) is the Solana mint MEW1gQWJ3nEXg2qgERiKu7FAFj79PHvQVREQUzScPP5. The project's own site, mew.xyz, links to this mint, and CoinGecko lists the same address with 5 decimals as of 25 October 2026. On Solana a token is identified by its mint address, not by its name or ticker. Any token called "MEW" with a different address is a different token.
The official address
| Field | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Solana | mew.xyz ("Powered by Solana") |
| Mint address | MEW1gQWJ3nEXg2qgERiKu7FAFj79PHvQVREQUzScPP5 | mew.xyz token links, CoinGecko |
| Decimals | 5 | CoinGecko; Rugcheck on-chain report |
| Token program | Standard SPL Token program (TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA) | Rugcheck |
| Mint authority | None (revoked) | Rugcheck |
| Freeze authority | None (revoked) | Rugcheck |
| Metadata | Name "cat in a dogs world", symbol "MEW", marked immutable | Rugcheck |
| Stated total supply | 88,888,888,888 | mew.xyz |
Don't confuse the mint with the pool. mew.xyz also links to a liquidity pool at 879F697iuDJGMevRkRcnW21fcXiAeLJK1ffsw2ATebce. That is a trading pool, not the token. Do not paste it into a wallet as the token address.
What the revoked authorities mean
Solana's documentation defines the mint authority as the address allowed to create new units of a token, which increases its supply. The freeze authority can freeze balances so they cannot be transferred or burned. For MEW, both fields read null in the on-chain report, so no one can mint more MEW or freeze holders' tokens. The metadata is also flagged as non-mutable, so the name and symbol cannot be changed.
Supply and concentration
mew.xyz gives a total supply of 88,888,888,888. Its stated distribution is 90% to liquidity whose LP tokens were burned and 10% as an airdrop to the Solana community. As of 25 October 2026, Rugcheck's on-chain report shows a raw supply of 8,888,544,401,774,295 base units, or about 88.885 billion MEW at 5 decimals. That is slightly below the stated figure. The same report flags two concentration warnings:
- one account holds about 37.46% of the supply;
- the top 10 holders together hold more than 50%.
Rugcheck does not mark that account as an insider, and the report does not say who controls it.
MEW on other networks
On 6 July 2025, Chainlink's changelog added MEW to its Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard under CCIP, and Chainlink's CCIP token directory has a MEW entry. If you hold or receive MEW on a network other than Solana, get the address from that directory and check it in that network's block explorer. Do not rely on an address posted in a chat or a reply. CoinGecko lists only the Solana address.
Is the MEW in front of you the original token?
Answer four quick questions about the token or link you have to see whether it matches the official MEW mint on Solana.
Which network is the MEW token or address you were given on?
- Solana → next question
- Another network (for example an EVM address starting with 0x) → Check the cross-chain directory first
Does the full address match MEW1gQWJ3nEXg2qgERiKu7FAFj79PHvQVREQUzScPP5 character by character, not just the first and last few characters?
- Yes, every character matches → next question
- No, it differs somewhere → Treat this as a different token
- It is 879F697iuDJGMevRkRcnW21fcXiAeLJK1ffsw2ATebce → That is the liquidity pool, not the token
Open the mint in a Solana explorer. Are the decimals 5, the mint and freeze authorities empty, and the name "cat in a dogs world"?
- Yes, all of these match → next question
- No, at least one differs → Treat this as a different token
Is a site or message asking you to connect a wallet to claim, migrate or upgrade MEW?
The address, decimals, revoked mint and freeze authorities and the token name all match the official Solana mint that mew.xyz links to. Before sending anything, check once more that you are on the Solana network.
Anyone can create a Solana token called "MEW" with the same logo. Only the mint address tells it apart, and a token with the MEW name and an active mint authority is not the original.
mew.xyz links to this address as a trading pool. Do not paste it into a wallet as the token address; use the mint address instead.
CoinGecko lists only the Solana address. Get the address for other networks from Chainlink's CCIP token directory, check it in that network's block explorer, and do not rely on an address posted in a chat or a reply. Solana and EVM addresses are not interchangeable.
mew.xyz describes no migration or new claim. Unless the project's official channels confirm it, do not connect a wallet, and never share a seed phrase with anyone.
This checks only whether a token matches the official MEW mint and common misuse patterns; it does not judge holder concentration, the token's value or whether to buy, hold or sell it.
How to check a MEW token in under a minute
- Compare the full mint address. Check it character by character against the one above, or open mew.xyz and follow its Solscan link. Fake addresses often copy the first and last few characters so that a shortened version looks the same.
- Open the mint in a Solana explorer (Solscan or Solana Explorer). Confirm the decimals are 5, the mint and freeze authorities are empty, and the name is "cat in a dogs world".
- Run a token report. A checker such as Rugcheck shows mint and freeze authority, holder concentration and LP status in one place. A token with the MEW name and an active mint authority is not the original.
- Check the network before you send anything. Solana addresses and EVM addresses (which start with
0x) are not interchangeable. If you treat a bridged version as native MEW, or send it to the wrong network, you can lose funds even when no one is trying to scam you.
Common ways the MEW name is misused
- Copycat tokens. Anyone can create a Solana token called "MEW" with the same logo. Only the mint address tells it apart.
- "Claim" or "migration" sites. mew.xyz describes no migration or new claim. Treat a site asking you to connect a wallet to claim or upgrade MEW as hostile unless the project's official channels confirm it.
- Unsolicited contact. The US Federal Trade Commission warns against paying anyone who contacts you unexpectedly. It also warns against clicking links in unexpected texts, emails or social media messages, and says that "free money promises are always fake." Never share a seed phrase with anyone.
