The FOMOEgg egg in the studio, illustrating: What is a contract address?
Short answer

The unique on-chain address of a token. Always copy it from an official source; lookalike tokens share names.

How to check it yourself

  1. Copy the address only from the project's official site or channel.
  2. Paste it into a block explorer and confirm the name, symbol and creation date match.
  3. Search the token name on a tracker. If several tokens share the name, check each address.
