How to identify a copy-paste shitcoin

What's that? A day-old coin with moonshot potential? You son of a bitch, I'm in.

I just wish I could easily determine whether or not the entire project was copy-pasted from DOGESAFEMARS or some other such trash. Checking diffs manually is such a pain, though… what to do…

  1. Navigate to TokenSniffer
  2. Copy and paste the contract address into the search bar
  3. Scroll down to the section titled 'Similar Token Contracts' and see if there are a multitude of similar projects

Arbitrary Example

Wow, this 'project' has a bunch of copycats!

The red numbers in the Deployed column indicate similar projects deployed before the given project. You can easily view the diffs as well by clicking the View button. If you only see individual fields changed, and very little actual work done, you can conclude that minimal work was done on the 'project', and it probably exists solely to pump and dump on retail 🙂
