How to use Under the Ticker

See what a token represents: what you get, who issues it, which chain it’s on and which rules apply. Each contract has its own page because the same product can work differently on another chain.

Start here
  1. 01Paste a ticker or a full contract.
  2. 02Read the one sentence at the top.
  3. 03Open the card for your chain.
The job is on the contract, not the ticker.Why Under the Ticker exists

Use the search box on the home page or in the header.

This won’t work

Paste the whole address. Shortened addresses such as 0x8ad3...7cf0 do not work. A mixed-case EVM address must use the correct capitalisation.

Do not paste a wallet address into search. Open the contract page and use its wallet check when one is available.

While you type
↑ ↓moveEnteropenEscclose

Suggestions appear as you type. Use the arrow keys to move, Enter to open one, and Escape to close them. A close spelling is marked “close match.”

When the empty box is focused, it shows recent searches from this device. They remain for 30 days. Use Clear to remove them all, or the Delete key to remove one.

Narrow it with chips

The Class, Form, Issuer, and Chain chips narrow your search. A chip appears when it has at least two choices. You can select several choices, clear one with its ×, or use Clear for all of them. Filters open a Search results page with All, Underlyings, and Forms views.

Same address, several chains

If an address is found on several chains, pick the chain you mean. Each chain has its own token and rules.

02

Reading a page

There are two kinds of pages. An asset page is about one asset. A contract page is about one token on one chain.

Asset pageunderticker.com/us.equity.tsla
  1. 01Name and tickerAn asset page starts with the asset name, ticker, exchange and ISIN when known.
  2. 02One-sentence summaryIts one-sentence summary compares the official onchain versions. Open Why we say that for the summary and its permanent link. Copy this copies both.
  3. 03Section chipsThe section chips show how many contracts sit in each section and which chains they use.
  4. 04CardsEach card shows what you get, your claim, votes, issuer, and chain. Select a card to open its details. There you can see What you get, Votes, Contract address, Everything else, and Evidence.
Contract pageunderticker.com/us.equity.tsla/ethereum/0x…
  1. 01TopAt the top you see its name, chain, standing, claim, issuer, product, full address, and a short summary. Copy contract copies the address.
  2. 02Checked on the chainShows facts visible on that chain.
  3. 03What it gives youExplains the holder’s rights.
  4. 04RulesCovers transfer rules and other controls.
  5. 05Further downLower down, you may find The same product on other chains, Every other token for the asset, Proof, Documents, What each value was checked against, Where sources disagree, and This record. Copy sentence and Copy JSON let you take the page’s summary or structured facts with you.

Searching for a token ticker used on several chains opens a page listing every version. The one you searched for is marked.

TipTap any answer to see where it comes from.
03

What the sections mean

Every token sits in one section. The section tells you what the token is or what is known about it.

The token is the registered share itself. For a fund, it is the fund’s own share. This contract, on this chain, is labelled Share. A contract with the same ticker on another chain is a different form. A bridged copy may sit beside a Share, but is labelled Bridged.

Claim

You have a claim rather than the asset itself. This may be an entitlement to an asset held in custody or an interest in a vehicle that holds it.

Tracker

The token follows the asset’s price. It may be a debt certificate, note, or price-only token. It is not the share or asset itself.

Claim not read yet

The token is official and issued on its own chain, but its legal documents have not yet established what kind of claim it gives. The page says only what is known.

Unconfirmed

Its official standing is not known. It may not yet have been checked against the issuer’s list, or it may be a name match not checked yet.

Not found on issuer list

The exact address was not found on any issuer’s list, or an issuer’s list excluded it. This describes the list result only.

Three labels that sound alike
Not found on issuer listWe checked issuer lists. This address wasn’t on the lists we checked, or one excluded it.
Flagged, not checked yetWe noticed it. We haven’t checked it yet.
UnconfirmedIts standing isn’t known yet.

Check a wallet

Some contract pages include Can my wallet hold it? Other contracts show no wallet box.

01Paste the full wallet address

Paste the full wallet address for that contract’s chain and press Check. You do not connect a wallet.

02Read the dated answer

The result is dated and says Yes, No, or Can’t tell. It may also say Allowed by the rule checked, Refused by the rule checked, or We couldn’t tell. The check changes nothing on the chain.

The result explains what was checked, for which wallet and contract, on which chain and when. An answer more than an hour old is marked as old.

03 · optionalShare this result

A result has no public link unless you choose Share this result. Anyone with that link can see the result and wallet address. After creating the link, use Copy link.

From the same browser, you can use Delete this result or Check another wallet. Your results shows checks made from that browser in the last 24 hours. After 24 hours, a check can’t be opened.

Never post a wallet address in public.

06

Make a graphic or post on X

Open Share on a contract page or token row. It offers Make a graphic and Post on X.

Make a graphic
1080×1080for an X post
1200×630for a link preview
1920×1080for X in 16:9
1080×1920for Story and Telegram

Make a graphic opens Graphics to take with the token selected. You can also type a ticker or paste a full contract address there. A ticker lets you pick from its official versions. An address can find a contract whatever its standing.

If a ticker has token versions on two chains, the page may offer a side-by-side graphic. Each contract card shows the token, chain, shortened contract and section.

The Graphics page also has The chart in five sizes.

Post on X

Post on X opens an editable post from your own account. It includes the ticker, chain, section, and a link to the contract page.

07

Put a chip or card on your own site

A chip and a rights card are small boxes you can place on another website.

Chip120 px tall · 320–600 px wide

The chip fits beside a buy button. It shows the token’s name, standing, section, one-sentence headline, and a link to its full page. It is 120 pixels tall and fits spaces from 320 to 600 pixels wide.

Get the chip code from Embed on the API page. Copy the example and change its chain and address.

Rights card360 × 160 px

The rights card shows the token’s name, what it is, two facts, its permanent link, and the small disclaimer. It is 360×160 and narrows for smaller spaces.

A rights card uses /embed/card?chain=...&address=... in a 360×160 frame.

Both support light, dark, and automatic themes. They need no key or sign-in, but use the same free allowance and per-minute limit.

Send a correction

Corrections are available for contracts shown under Flagged, not checked yet. Open the asset page and choose Send proof beside the relevant contract.

The page asks for
01A sentence or two saying whose token it is, or that it is a copy.
02An https:// proof link.
03Up to 40 words from that page.
04An email address or X handle.
Counts as proof

The proof can be an issuer page, filed document, regulator’s register, or chain explorer page for the contract.

Doesn’t count

A post, screenshot, or listing is not accepted as proof.

After you send proof, the page says: “Thanks. It’s not checked yet.” Sending proof doesn’t promise a response, change or other outcome.

Questions people ask

Is this advice?

Information only. Not advice, an offer or recommendation. Read Disclosures and check current issuer documents.

Why does a token say Claim not read yet?

It is official, but its legal documents haven’t yet established what kind of claim it gives.

Why is my token not listed?

An unknown address may show Not on our list yet and only the facts available from its chain. The site doesn’t promise that a missing token will be added.

How current is the information?

Each contract page says when its chain facts were checked. It also tells you when it shows an earlier check or has no earlier check.

What does Not found on issuer list mean?

The exact address was not found on any issuer’s list, or a list excluded it. This doesn’t describe anyone’s intent.

How do I report a mistake?

For a contract under Flagged, not checked yet, use its Send proof link.

Is it free?

Looking things up is free. The API and AI connection are also free, with request limits.

Do I need an account?

No. The website, API and AI connection need no sign-in.

Are there lookup limits?

Yes. If you send too many requests, the site shows a message and tells you when to try again.
