TL;DR

• The contract 0xa92e525e032e867851d7c6539a0e330721f21b81 is a GOTCHI (“Tamagotchi”) meme token on Ethereum—not on BNB Chain.
• There are multiple “GOTCHI” tokens across chains. Don’t confuse Ethereum’s meme token with Solana’s GOTCHI or Aavegotchi’s in‑game token/GHST.
• As of Aug 18, 2025, on-chain data shows high volatility and “unverified” labels on some trackers. Proceed with caution.
• If you trade, verify the contract on Etherscan and use reputable venues like Uniswap. You can also analyze and track it on GMGN: https://gmgn.ai/eth/token/fV1R5sZ5_0xa92e525e032e867851d7c6539a0e330721f21b81

What is GOTCHI (Tamagotchi) on Ethereum?

• Symbol: GOTCHI
• Contract: 0xa92e525e032e867851d7c6539a0e330721f21b81
• Chain: Ethereum

This Ethereum deployment is a community-driven meme token inspired by the 90s digital pet craze, Tamagotchi. Like many meme coins, it blends nostalgia and internet culture with on-chain speculation. It is not affiliated with the original Tamagotchi IP or with Aavegotchi’s official economy.

Not on BNB Chain: clearing the confusion

Some third-party pages have mislabeled this contract as a BNB Chain token. A direct search shows this address is absent on BNB Chain explorers such as BscScan and present on Etherscan.
Tip: Always verify the blockchain and contract address on the correct explorer before you trade.

Look‑alikes you should know

• Solana’s GOTCHI (meme token)

  • Another Tamagotchi-themed meme coin exists on Solana. As of Aug 18, 2025, it reported around $702K market cap, ~1B supply, ~$1.7M 24h volume, and ~2,257 holders, with very high daily volatility and an “unverified” status on some trackers. Solana offers fast, low-cost transactions, which can amplify rapid meme flows.

• Aavegotchi ecosystem (different purpose)

  • Aavegotchi is a DeFi-NFT game inspired by Tamagotchi. Its main token is GHST, used for governance via AavegotchiDAO, in-game purchases, and staking.
  • A separate Aavegotchi “GOTCHI” culture token is used within the Gotchiverse for activities like crafting, tipping, and questing, native to its gaming-focused chain (Geist). This is unrelated to the Ethereum meme token at the address above.

Market snapshot for Ethereum GOTCHI (as of Aug 18, 2025)

• Approx. price: $0.0005617

Interpretation: Data inconsistencies and “unverified” labels are common with new or niche meme tokens. Double-check multiple sources before acting.

How to verify and trade safely

• Verify the contract

  • Cross-check the address on Etherscan. Confirm decimals, total supply, and recent transactions.
  • Be wary of tokens with identical tickers. Ticker collisions are common in meme markets.

• Where to trade

  • Uniswap (Ethereum): Use the exact contract address to avoid impostors.
  • GMGN.AI: Track, analyze, and access trading routes via the dedicated GOTCHI page: https://gmgn.ai/eth/token/fV1R5sZ5_0xa92e525e032e867851d7c6539a0e330721f21b81
  • Note: Always confirm you’re on the Ethereum version of the token.

• Practical tips

  • Slippage: Set conservative slippage. High slippage means you accept larger price movement during your swap—use cautiously.
  • Taxes/controls: Some meme tokens add transfer taxes or anti-bot rules; test with a tiny amount first.
  • Liquidity: Low liquidity can cause large price impact. Consider smaller orders and check pool sizes before trading.

Key risks

• Low liquidity and volume: Hard to enter/exit positions without moving the price.
• Volatility: Rapid swings can liquidate or whipsaw positions quickly.
• Contract risk: “Unverified” on trackers can mean limited audits or unknown code risks.
• Naming collisions: Multiple “GOTCHI” tokens (Ethereum, Solana, Aavegotchi ecosystem) increase the chance of buying the wrong asset.
• Rug-pull/scam patterns: Common in meme markets; watch for opaque ownership, paused trading, or sudden liquidity removals.

Due‑diligence checklist

• Confirm the chain and address on Etherscan.
• Review holders and recent transactions; look for concentrated ownership or suspicious moves.
• Inspect liquidity: Which pool, how deep, and who added/controls it?
• Cross-verify data on multiple trackers.
• Start small; treat early exposure like a test.
• Monitor the community and developer communication for consistency and transparency.
