Which CCAT Is Costco Cat? How to Verify the Real Contract

Every warehouse has one cat. Crypto has a lot of CCATs. Several unrelated tokens use the CCAT ticker, and only one of them is Costco Cat ($CCAT), the community meme coin on Solana. This guide shows you how to check you have the real one before you buy, using Solscan and DexScreener.

Costco Cat ($CCAT) is a community meme coin. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Costco Wholesale Corporation.

The official Costco Cat ($CCAT) contract address

The only official Costco Cat ($CCAT) contract address on Solana is:

EYwSS8FoY6ifCjorwBrxPgEMwpZmh1xF47jofDwqEoJH

• On-chain name: Costco Pussy Cat (ticker CCAT)

• Blockchain: Solana (SPL token)

• Total supply: 1,000,000,000 CCAT

• Mint authority: disabled. Freeze authority: disabled.

If a token doesn't match this full address, character for character, it is not Costco Cat.

Why the ticker isn't enough

Tickers aren't unique. Anyone can launch a token called CCAT, or one with Costco Cat in its name, on Solana or any other chain in a few minutes. Searching a name or ticker on a DEX or in a wallet can show you a list of lookalikes, and some are made on purpose to catch people in a hurry. The contract address is the only thing that can't be copied.

How to verify Costco Cat on Solscan

1. Go to solscan.io and paste the full contract address into the search bar. Don't search by name or ticker.

2. Open the token page and check the name shows Costco Pussy Cat with the symbol CCAT.

3. Check the token address at the top of the page matches the official address above, every character.

4. Check the token details: mint authority and freeze authority should both be disabled, and total supply should be 1,000,000,000.

Shortcut: open Costco Cat ($CCAT) on Solscan.

How to verify Costco Cat on DexScreener

1. Go to dexscreener.com and paste the full contract address into the search. Again, use the address, not the ticker.

2. Make sure the result is on Solana. Tokens with the same ticker on other chains are not Costco Cat.

3. Open the pair and compare the token address shown on the pair page with the official address. Use the copy button and paste it next to the official one if you're unsure.

4. Ignore any pair whose token address is different, even if the name, ticker and logo look the same.

Shortcut: open Costco Cat ($CCAT) on DexScreener.

Red flags for lookalike tickers

• An address that starts and ends the same way but differs in the middle. Check every character, not just the first and last few.

• Messages or DMs offering a "new", "V2" or "migrated" CCAT, or an airdrop you need to claim through a link.

• Links that don't come from costcocat.com or the official Costco Cat channels.

• Anyone claiming a token is the official Costco token. Costco Cat ($CCAT) is not affiliated with Costco.

• Anyone asking for your recovery phrase or for you to sign a transaction you don't understand. The Costco Cat team will never ask for this.
