Proof of Stock

Q&A

If a token is issuer-listed, is it safe to buy?

Listed means the contract address is on the issuer's published list, but it says nothing about price safety. Pools can trade several percent away from the issuer's price, particularly when markets are closed, so you should check the price gap and its age. Token entitlements and holding rights are set by the issuer's terms and your local laws, and this is not investment advice.

A token is not on the list. Is it fake?

Not necessarily. It may be from an issuer not yet covered, or an unrelated coin sharing a ticker. The service only flags it as an impostor when it copies a listed token's distinctive symbol or an issuer's naming style. A name or ticker alone does not make a token listed.

Where does the data come from?

Data comes from each issuer's public list of tokens and prices, and from public DEX pool data. Every answer names its source and time so you can verify it. Proof of Stock is independent with no issuer review or endorsement.

Is it safe to connect my agent?

Yes, it is safe. The service only reads data and has no wallet, key, sign-in, or tools that sign or send transactions. Token names are returned as short labels and never incorporated into service statements.

How old can an answer be, and what if a source is down?

Issuer lists are reread every 5 minutes and pool prices recorded every 15, so a reading is usually under 20 minutes old; past 30 minutes it is marked stale. The issuer's own price can be hours or days old while the market is closed, and that age is shown too. If an issuer's list cannot be read for more than 15 minutes, the address check answers that it cannot verify, never "not listed".
