TL;DR

• We searched for COOLCAT on the Base chain at address 0x46cff47fefdb720c41d067ea1df8f2f4039972a1 and could not verify an active token or live trading pairs at the time of writing.
• Before interacting, verify the contract on BaseScan, confirm liquidity on reputable DEXes, and watch out for similarly named projects on other chains.
• If/when liquidity appears, you can monitor and trade on platforms like Uniswap, Aerodrome, DEXTools, and GMGN.AI for fast discovery and analytics.

What we checked and what it means

Our research focused on the COOLCAT token reportedly on Base at contract address 0x46cff47fefdb720c41d067ea1df8f2f4039972a1.

• BaseScan: A direct search on BaseScan for this address did not return a verified token contract or standard token details. This typically means the contract is not deployed on Base, is unverified, or is too new to be indexed.
• DEX aggregators: We looked across major venues that index Base tokens, including Uniswap and DEXTools. No active trading pairs or liquidity pools for COOLCAT at this address were found during review.

This does not guarantee the token will never exist—it only reflects the current on-chain and market indexing status. New meme tokens can appear rapidly; proper verification protects you from imposters and liquidity traps.

Step-by-step: How to verify a Base token safely

Use this checklist before you buy any meme token, including COOLCAT:

1. Confirm the exact contract on Base

   • Paste the address into BaseScan.
   • Check contract verification status, total supply, decimals, holders, and recent transactions.

2. Validate official sources match the contract

   • Cross-check the contract posted on the project’s official website or social channels.
   • Beware screenshots; rely on clickable links to explorers.

3. Inspect liquidity and trading

   • On Uniswap or Aerodrome, confirm:
     • A real pool exists with non-trivial TVL.
     • Trades are happening and swapping works with normal gas/fees.
   • On DEXTools, review the pair page for price impact, taxes, and recent activity.

4. Assess contract and ownership risks

   • Look for renounced ownership or a trustworthy multisig.
   • Check if minting is disabled or limited (to avoid supply inflation).
   • Inspect buy/sell taxes; extreme or changeable taxes are a red flag.

5. Review LP safety

   • Is the liquidity locked? For how long, and with which locker?
   • Unlock dates that are too soon can signal potential rug pulls.

6. Scan community and comms

   • Do announcements clearly reference the same Base contract address?
   • Are there reputable collaborators or audits?

Avoiding name confusion: COOLCAT vs. other “Cool Cats”

• Ethereum NFTs: The well-known Cool Cats NFT collection on Ethereum is an NFT brand, not a Base fungible token. It previously used a token called $MILK that was sunset in 2023. Do not assume any NFT brand is linked to a new meme coin unless officially confirmed.
• Solana tokens: Various “coolcat” tokens exist on Solana and are unrelated to a Base deployment. Always match the exact chain and contract.

Risk checklist for meme tokens

• Unverified or proxy contracts with upgradeability and no safeguards.
• High or changeable taxes; transfer pauses; blacklist functions.
• No locked liquidity or very short lock timers.
• Inconsistent or missing links across social channels.
• Aggressive “buy now” pressure without documentation.
• Contract address only shown in images or third-party tweets.

If multiple red flags appear, consider avoiding the token entirely.
