The official PYTH token address on Solana is HZ1JovNiVvGrGNiiYvEozEVgZ58xaU3RKwX8eACQBCt3. Pyth Network's documentation describes PYTH as "a native Solana token following the SPL model". Every PYTH token on another chain is a wrapped representation created through a bridge. Anyone can launch a token called PYTH with the same logo. The address is the one thing a copy cannot fake, so before you send, swap or approve anything, compare the full address with the official list below.

Native and wrapped: why the difference matters
The documentation says that "through the use of permissionless bridges like Wormhole, (wrapped) PYTH tokens may exist on various other chains". The NEAR entry, a portalbridge.near account, shows that the bridge itself issued that version. Two practical points follow:
- A wrapped token is only as safe as the bridge contract behind it. It has its own risks on top of PYTH's own.
- Sending a token to the wrong network, for example a Solana-native token to an EVM address, can lose funds with no scammer involved. Check the network before you check the amount.
If a token on a chain claims to be PYTH but its address is not in the table above, the official list does not recognise it.
How to check any "PYTH" token in under a minute
- Compare the whole address. Look-alike addresses are often generated to share the first and last few characters with the real one. Read the middle too, or paste both into a text search and check for an exact match.
- Get the reference from the source. Take the address from Pyth's documentation page (linked below), not from a chat message, a reply on social media or a search ad.
- Open the mint in a block explorer. On a Solana explorer, look at the token's creation date, its holder count and whether the mint authority is still active. A "PYTH" created last week with a few hundred holders is not the token that launched in November 2023.
- Read what a wallet approval actually grants. A signature request that asks for unlimited spending or account control has nothing to do with a price check or a claim.
Is this PYTH token the real one?
Answer a few questions about the token, or the offer, in front of you to see whether it matches Pyth's official address list.
Which network is the token on?
- Solana → next question
- Another network on Pyth's official list, such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, Aptos, Sui or NEAR → next question
- A network that is not on Pyth's official list → Not recognised by the official list
Does the full mint address, middle characters included, exactly match HZ1JovNiVvGrGNiiYvEozEVgZ58xaU3RKwX8eACQBCt3?
- Yes, an exact match → next question
- No, or only the first and last characters match → Likely a look-alike
Does the full address, middle characters included, exactly match that network's entry in the official table?
- Yes, an exact match → next question
- No, or only the first and last characters match → Likely a look-alike
Are you being asked to claim an airdrop, swap into a 'new', 'v2' or 'migration' PYTH, or sign an approval for unlimited spending or account control?
- Yes → Treat the offer as a scam
- No → next question
Did you take the reference address from Pyth's own documentation under pyth.network, not from a chat message, a social media reply or a search ad?
- Yes, from Pyth's documentation → The address matches the official list
- No, from somewhere else → Check the reference again first
Pyth's official list does not recognise a token called PYTH on this network. Anyone can launch a token with the PYTH name and logo, so treat it as unofficial.
Look-alike addresses are often generated to share the first and last few characters with the real one. If the whole address does not match exactly, the official list does not recognise this token.
Pyth's official list has no second-version or migration token, and security sites have documented a fake 'PYTH Retrospective Airdrop' page that drains connected wallets. A price check or a claim never needs unlimited spending or account control.
An address passed on in a chat, a reply or an ad can itself be fake. Take the reference from Pyth's documentation page and compare the whole address again before you send, swap or approve anything.
The address matches Pyth's official list. On Solana it is the native token. On any other network it is a wrapped version created through a bridge, which carries that bridge's risks too. Check that you are sending on the right network before you check the amount.
This checks a token only against Pyth's official address list and the scam patterns described in the article: it does not verify on-chain details such as decimals, holder count or mint authority, and it does not judge whether PYTH is worth holding.
Common PYTH impersonation patterns
- Same name, different mint. New tokens copy the PYTH ticker and logo. The address is the only reliable difference.
- Fake airdrop pages. The security site PCRisk has documented a fake "PYTH Retrospective Airdrop" page that imitates Pyth and drains wallets once they are connected. The real retrospective airdrop was announced in October 2023, and The Block reported that its claims opened on 20 November 2023.
- Look-alike domains. PhishDestroy flagged
pythsnetwork.org, which adds one letter to the real name, as a phishing domain. Pyth's own pages sit underpyth.network. - "Migration" or "v2" offers. Pyth's official address list contains no second-version or migration token. An offer to swap your PYTH for a "new" PYTH should be treated as a scam unless Pyth's own documentation says otherwise.
Background: what PYTH is and how its supply unlocks
Pyth's documentation calls PYTH "the governance token of the Pyth Network". Holders can stake it to vote under a "1:1 coin-voting system, where each staked token confers one vote".
According to the official distribution page:
- Total supply is 10,000,000,000 PYTH.
- Initial circulating supply in November 2023 was 1,500,000,000 PYTH (15%).
- Locked tokens unlock "6, 18, 30 and 42 months after the initial token launch". With a November 2023 launch, the last scheduled unlock falls around May 2027.
- Allocation: Ecosystem Growth 52% (5.2 billion), Publisher Rewards 22% (2.2 billion), Protocol Development 10% (1 billion), Private Sales 10% (1 billion), Community and Launch 6% (600 million).
Limitations: all addresses come from one source, Pyth's own documentation. The scam examples come from third-party security sites, and on-chain details such as decimals, holder counts and mint authority were not independently checked here.
Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose your capital. Nothing here is investment advice.
