Anyone can create a token called POPCAT. The only thing a scammer cannot copy is the contract address, so verifying it is the whole game. This guide gives you the official address, the bridged versions on other networks and a ten-second routine to check any token before you buy.

## The official POPCAT contract address on Solana

Mint address · Solana

7GCihgDB8fe6KNjn2MYtkzZcRjQy3t9GHdC8uHYmW2hr

Decimals 9 · on the Jupiter strict list · first liquidity pool 2024-03-25 · 142,022 holders

Bookmark it or copy it from the [POPCAT page on ZIPMEX](https://zipmex.com/tokens/popcat/), never from a chat message or a reply on X.

## Three ways to verify it

- **Jupiter strict list.** Verified tokens carry a check mark in the ZIPMEX terminal and on Jupiter. A token with the right name but no check mark is a copy until proven otherwise.
- **Solscan.** Open the mint on Solscan and look at three things: the holder count (142,022 for the real POPCAT), whether the mint authority is revoked, and the age of the token. A week-old POPCAT with 300 holders is not POPCAT.
- **The official site.** Compare the full address, character by character, with the one the project publishes. Look-alike addresses share the first and last characters on purpose.

## Four scams that borrow the POPCAT name

- **Same ticker, new mint.** Pump-and-dump tokens launch with the same name and logo every week. The address is different; the chart looks tempting for about an hour.
- **"Airdrop" and "v2 migration" sites.** POPCAT has no migration and does not ask you to connect a wallet to claim anything. A site that does is draining wallets.
- **Wrong network.** Sending Solana tokens to an Ethereum address, or buying a bridged version thinking it is native, are the two most common ways to lose money without being scammed by anyone.
- **Fake support.** Nobody from ZIPMEX or the project will message you first, ask for a seed phrase or offer to "verify" your wallet.
