TL;DR

• We could not verify a live, recognized token contract for 0xead9489adbff7f2c2c0c163f7de33916a0fffc30 on BNB Chain via public explorers.
• “ETHAI” is a crowded ticker used by different projects (and even non-crypto initiatives), which creates serious name-collision risk.
• Media pieces claim an “Etherchain Ai” project with Proof-of-Intelligence, an AI Virtual Machine, 50M supply, and audits—but these claims are unverified for this specific address.
• Before interacting with any ETHAI token, verify the exact contract on a trusted explorer and confirm official links. Treat presale or listing claims as unverified until you see on-chain proof.
• If/when liquidity exists and you choose to proceed, research and trade via reputable tools, including GMGN.AI’s token page: https://gmgn.ai/eth/token/fV1R5sZ5_0xead9489adbff7f2c2c0c163f7de33916a0fffc30

What we were asked to look into

We investigated the token symbol “ETHAI” at address 0xead9489adbff7f2c2c0c163f7de33916a0fffc30, reported to be on BNB Chain. The goal was to compile a clean, practical brief for practitioners who need clear signals on what’s real, what’s rumor, and how to proceed safely.

On-chain verification: what’s missing right now

• A search on BNB Chain explorers (for example, start from BscScan) did not surface a standard token page for this address. You can also try a direct lookup at this token URL format.
• Without a verifiable contract page, we cannot confirm fundamentals such as token name, symbol, total supply, holders, or transaction history.
• No official website, whitepaper, or socials tied to this exact address were discoverable via reputable sources at the time of writing.

Bottom line: there isn’t sufficient on-chain evidence to confirm that this address corresponds to an active, legitimate BNB Chain token.

Why “ETHAI” is confusing: name collisions across chains

Multiple unrelated projects (and even non-crypto initiatives) use the “ETHAI” or similar name, including:

• Variants on Ethereum or Solana claiming “AI + blockchain” narratives.
• A BNB Smart Chain token with the same ticker but a different address, referenced by outlets like Coinranking.
• Non-crypto projects (e.g., ethical AI in tourism, architectural projects) that also use “Ethai/Eth AI” branding.

This is a classic case of ticker collision. Always anchor your research to the exact contract address, not just the name.

What media outlets claim about “Etherchain Ai” (unverified for this address)

Several articles describe an “Etherchain Ai (ETHAI)” concept. Treat the following as claims, not confirmations for 0xead9…:

• Proof-of-Intelligence (PoI): A proposed consensus where AI agents validate transactions and contribute useful AI computation.
• AI Virtual Machine (AIVM): “Adaptive” smart contracts that process real-time data and evolve behavior.
• Cross-chain design: Targeting Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.
• Tokenomics: Fixed 50 million supply; ~50% presale allocation; buyback-and-burn.
• Audits: Mentions of SolidProof and SpyWolf.

References:

• CoinCentral coverage
• CoinCentral presale report
• FinanceFeeds overview

Important: These are secondary sources and do not prove that the address 0xead9… corresponds to the described project. Until you can match an official website/social announcement to a verified contract on a reputable explorer, treat all such details as marketing claims.

How to verify before you send a penny

1. Pin down the official contract:
   • Find the project’s official website and socials (Twitter/X, Telegram, GitHub). Cross-check that all channels post the same exact contract address.
   • Confirm the token on a reputable explorer: BscScan for BNB Chain. Look for verified source code, holders, and transaction history.
2. Validate audits:
   • If audits by SolidProof or SpyWolf are claimed, locate the actual PDF/report on the auditor’s official site. Ensure the report explicitly names the same contract address and version.
3. Check liquidity and taxes:
   • Inspect the token’s liquidity pool (LP) on the relevant DEX. Verify LP lock duration and owner privileges (e.g., can they remove liquidity or change fees?).
   • Use safety tools (as a starting point, not a guarantee): Token Sniffer, GoPlus Security, or Honeypot.is.
4. Watch for name collisions:
   • If you see multiple “ETHAI” tokens, confirm which one the official channels endorse. Never assume the first result is the right one.
5. Follow the money and activity:
   • Look at holder distribution. Excessive concentration in a few wallets can be a risk.
   • Review contract permissions (e.g., trading pause, mint, blacklist). High-control functions raise risk.

Research and trading tools (proceed only if verified)

If/when you verify a legitimate listing and there is real liquidity for this address:

• GMGN.AI token page: track, analyze, and, where supported, trade via GMGN’s interface: https://gmgn.ai/eth/token/fV1R5sZ5_0xead9489adbff7f2c2c0c163f7de33916a0fffc30
• PancakeSwap (BNB Chain DEX): you can attempt to swap by pasting the contract in the output field; example swap URL format: PancakeSwap. Only proceed if the contract has been verified and the pool shows healthy, locked liquidity.
• 1inch Aggregator: set network to BNB Chain and paste the contract to compare routes and fees: 1inch.

Note: If the contract is unverified or flagged by security tools, do not trade. Scammers often spin up fake pools to trap buyers who paste tickers instead of addresses.

Red flags to watch

• No verified token page on BscScan for the advertised address.
• Audits that don’t list the exact contract or are hosted on non-official domains.
• Social accounts that avoid posting the contract address or frequently change it.
• Trading taxes above industry norms or stealth changes to fees.
• Recently created deployer with no history, or deployer retaining upgrade rights over critical functions.
• Hype-heavy presale promises without escrow, vesting disclosures, or transparent fund use.

Bottom line

Right now, we cannot verify that 0xead9489adbff7f2c2c0c163f7de33916a0fffc30 corresponds to a live, legitimate ETHAI token on BNB Chain. Meanwhile, “ETHAI” is a crowded ticker across multiple chains and even outside crypto, which raises the odds of confusion or impersonation.

If you’re interested in the “Etherchain Ai” concept (PoI, AIVM, 50M supply, audits), treat those details as unverified until they map cleanly to a contract you can confirm on-chain via reputable explorers and official channels. If/when verification and liquidity exist, consider using trusted tools—including GMGN.AI’s dedicated token page—while applying strict risk management.
