If you're looking for a token's official SPL contract address (like finding USDC or BONK's real address to avoid scams), here are the best methods:

Method 1: Use Solana Block Explorers
1. Solscan (Recommended)
1. Go to solscan.io
2. Search the token name (e.g., "USDC" or "BONK")
3. Look for the **verified checkmark (✓)** next to the correct token
4. The **Token Address** is the SPL contract address
2. SolanaFM
1. Visit https://solana.fm
2. Search the token name
3. Check the "Mint Address" (this is the SPL token address)
Method 2: Check Official Project Websites
- Stablecoins (USDC, USDT):**
- [Circle’s USDC page](https://www.circle.com/en/usdc-multichain/solana) → USDC: `EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v`
- [Tether’s official site](https://tether.to) → USDT: `Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB`
- Popular Tokens:
- [Bonk’s website](https://bonkdao.com) → BONK: `DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263`
- [Jupiter’s token list](https://station.jup.ag/docs/apis/tokens) → Verified tokens
Method 3: Use Jupiter’s Token List API
1. Visit https://token.jup.ag/strict
2. Search for your token (e.g., "RAY" for Raydium)
3. Copy the "address" field (this is the SPL token address)
Method 4: Find SPL Tokens in Your Wallet
Using Phantom Wallet
1. Open Phantom → Click the "Tokens" tab
2. Click on a token → See "Token Mint" (this is the SPL address)
Using Solana CLI
```bash
solana account --output json YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS | grep "mint"
```
This shows all SPL tokens in your wallet with their contract addresses.
How to Verify a Token is Legit?
✅ Check the mint authority (should be disabled for real tokens)
✅ Look for a verified checkmark on Solscan
✅ Compare with official project websites
❌ Avoid tokens with high supply & no liquidity

Final Tips
