Verify

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.

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 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. 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.
