The official USELESS COIN (USELESS) token is a Solana SPL token. Its mint address is Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk, and it has 6 decimals. Only one other network has a cross-chain version listed in the Chainlink CCIP directory and on CoinGecko: BNB Chain, at 0xbA38B3C706f7A515Ff7C8Db04Daa0A134eC46D2b, also with 6 decimals. Anyone can deploy a token with the same name and ticker, so any other address calling itself USELESS should be treated as unverified. These details were checked on 25 October 2026.
The addresses at a glance
| Network | Address | Role | Decimals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solana | Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk | Native mint | 6 |
| BNB Chain | 0xbA38B3C706f7A515Ff7C8Db04Daa0A134eC46D2b | Cross-chain version via Chainlink CCIP | 6 |
Two independent sources list both addresses: the Chainlink CCIP token directory and CoinGecko's contract record for the coin (id useless-3). DexScreener's data puts the earliest Solana liquidity pool for this mint at 10 May 2025.
How the BNB Chain version works
The Chainlink CCIP directory lists a LockReleaseTokenPool on Solana and a BurnMintTokenPool on BNB Chain. Chainlink's documentation calls this combination "Lock and Mint": the native chain "locks" tokens and "remote chains mint synthetic representations." In practice:
- When USELESS moves from Solana to BNB Chain, the tokens are held in escrow on Solana and an equal amount is minted on BNB Chain.
- When tokens go back, the BNB Chain tokens are burned and the escrowed tokens on Solana are released.
So the BNB Chain token is a representation, not the original. Its value depends on the Solana escrow and on the CCIP setup working correctly. It is also a separate contract, so a wallet or app holding the BNB Chain token is not holding Solana USELESS.
Addresses that are not on either list
Some on-chain token trackers show Ethereum contracts labelled "USELESS" or "USELESS COIN", for example 0x6174aa667ffe3b43ba906afa69f8c5424fd7a9b2 and 0x888aa34bfcd15179a1d50765f60e733176c99ed2. Neither appears in the Chainlink CCIP directory or in CoinGecko's platform list for the coin. Nothing here links them to the project. Treat them as unrelated tokens unless the project itself announces otherwise.
Is this USELESS address the real one?
Answer a few questions about the address you were given to see whether it matches either listed USELESS contract.
Did the address come from an "airdrop", "claim" or "v2 migration" page, or from someone who messaged you first offering support?
- Yes → Not backed by the project
- No, I found it myself → next question
What does the address look like? Solana addresses are base58; BNB Chain addresses start with 0x.
- Base58, on Solana → next question
- 0x hex, on BNB Chain → next question
- 0x hex, on Ethereum → Not on either list
- Another network → Treat it as unverified
Does it match Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk in every character, not only the first and last few?
- Yes, every character → Matches the native Solana mint
- No, or only the ends match → Treat it as unverified
Does it match 0xbA38B3C706f7A515Ff7C8Db04Daa0A134eC46D2b in every character?
- Yes, every character → Matches the BNB Chain version
- No, or only the ends match → Treat it as unverified
This is the mint listed by the Chainlink CCIP directory and CoinGecko, with 6 decimals. Still read the mint and freeze authority fields on a Solana explorer yourself, and send it only on the Solana network.
This is the cross-chain version listed by the Chainlink CCIP directory and CoinGecko, with 6 decimals. It is a Lock and Mint representation backed by tokens held in escrow on Solana, not Solana USELESS itself, and it lives only on BNB Chain.
Ethereum contracts labelled "USELESS" appear on some token trackers, but none is in the Chainlink CCIP directory or CoinGecko's platform list. Treat it as an unrelated token unless the project itself announces otherwise.
Anyone can deploy a token with the same name and ticker. If the address matches neither CoinGecko nor the Chainlink CCIP directory, do not use it.
As of 25 October 2026 the project's site says nothing about an airdrop, a migration or a bridge claim, and it gives only a support email address. Do not connect a wallet or share a seed phrase; check the address against the listings yourself.
This only compares an address with the two listings as of 25 October 2026: it does not read on-chain mint or freeze authority, check holder distribution, or judge whether the token is worth holding.
How to check a USELESS address yourself
1. Start from the project's own site
The project's site, theuselesscoin.com, does not print the address as plain text. Its "Buy" link includes the parameter address=Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk, and its DexScreener link points to pool Q2sPHPdUWFMg7M7wwrQKLrn619cAucfRsmhVJffodSp. DexScreener's data gives that pool's base token as the same mint, which makes it a second check from the project's own links. Compare every character, not only the first and last few: lookalike addresses are often built to match at both ends.
2. Cross-check two independent listings
Open CoinGecko's USELESS page and the Chainlink CCIP directory entry. Both should show the same Solana mint and the same BNB Chain contract. If an address you were sent matches neither, do not use it.
3. Read the mint account on a Solana explorer
In Solana's documentation, the mint authority is "the account authorized to create new units of the token" and the freeze authority is "the account authorized to freeze tokens in a Token Account." Open the mint on a block explorer and check whether either authority is still set. HashEx's automated scan of this mint was last updated on 16 October 2025. It reports that no account can mint more tokens and that holders cannot be frozen. It also flags "high centralization risk" in how the token is distributed. That is a third-party scan. The authority fields on-chain are the primary record, so read them yourself.
4. Check the network before you send
Solana and BNB Chain addresses look completely different: base58 for Solana, 0x hex for BNB Chain. Sending a token to an address on the wrong network, or buying the BNB Chain version when you meant to buy the Solana one, can lose funds without any scam involved.
Common traps around the name
- Same name, new mint. Any wallet can create a token called USELESS with the same logo. The mint address is the only thing a copy cannot share.
- "Airdrop", "claim" or "v2 migration" pages. As of 25 October 2026, the project's site says nothing about an airdrop, a migration or a bridge claim. A page that asks you to connect a wallet to claim USELESS is not backed by anything the project has published.
- Unsolicited "support". The site gives only a support email address, with the note "(Don't expect a response.)". Anyone who messages you first or asks for a seed phrase is not official support.
What we could not confirm
Holder counts change all the time, and the explorer pages we tried did not load, so this article gives no holder figure. The project's site does not label any address as the official contract. The Solana address is confirmed through the site's own links, CoinGecko and the Chainlink CCIP directory, not through a direct statement from the project.
Limitations: the addresses come from the Chainlink CCIP directory, CoinGecko and the project's site as of 25 October 2026. Mint-authority status comes from a third-party automated scan. This is not investment advice.
