Do not trust this page. Check the ledger.
Anyone can build a website claiming an asset, including a copy calling itself Trump Digital Gold. The checks below do not depend on this site being honest: every one of them reads from the Stellar network or from a third-party explorer. They work for any Stellar token, not just this one.

Compare the issuing account
Every check starts here. Asset codes on Stellar are not unique, so the issuing account is the only thing that identifies a specific token. Compare the first six and last six characters at minimum, and paste rather than retype.

Read the home domain off the ledger
Open the issuing account on Horizon and look at the home_domain field. It is stored on the account itself, not on any website, so it cannot be faked by whoever controls a domain. It must read exactly trumpdigitalgold.com.
View the issuing account on Horizon - 3
Fetch the stellar.toml that domain serves
Now go the other direction. The domain from step two must serve a SEP-1 file whose CURRENCIES section names the same issuing account you started with. That round trip is the proof: the ledger vouches for the domain, and the domain vouches for the asset.
Open the stellar.toml - 4
Confirm the supply and the lock
On Stellar.Expert, check that the total supply matches the published figure and that the issuing account shows no active signer. An account with a master key weight of zero and exactly one signer entry cannot issue anything further.
Open TDGOLD on Stellar.Expert
Why the round trip is the part that matters
A stellar.toml on its own proves nothing. It is a text file on a web server, and nothing stops someone publishing one that claims an asset they do not control. Plenty of scam tokens ship a perfectly valid one.
What makes it meaningful is the second direction. The issuing account carries a home domain written into the ledger, and only whoever holds the issuing key could have put it there. So if the ledger points at a domain, and that domain serves a file pointing back at the same account, the loop is closed by two independent parties. Check one direction only and you have checked nothing.
For TDGOLD the loop is permanent: the issuing account is locked, so its home domain can never be changed to point somewhere else.
Warning signs
- An issuing account that differs from the published one by even one character. This is the single most common way people are separated from their money.
- An issuing account with no home domain set, or one pointing at a domain that serves no stellar.toml.
- An unlocked issuer on a token advertised as fixed supply. If the master key still has weight, the supply is a promise, not a fact.
- Anyone asking you to send XLM first to receive tokens, or asking for your recovery phrase. There is no presale and no airdrop form.
If you arrived here looking for a token address to paste, the reason you cannot find one is explained in why a Stellar asset has an issuer instead. Verification tells you the asset is genuine, which is not the same as telling you it is a good idea, so read what can still go wrong afterwards and who publishes this site.
