OG Checker Overview

When a token starts trending, copycats mint dozens of new tokens with the exact same symbol within minutes. By the time you find a contract address in a chat, you have no easy way to tell whether it’s the original or a five-minute-old impostor riding the name.

The OG Checker exists to answer one question: which contract was first?

How it works

Section titled “How it works”

You hand /og a chain and a symbol (or a contract — Prysm will figure out the chain). It searches every pair on that chain that matches the symbol exactly, picks the earliest pair per token, and shows you the top fifteen oldest, sorted by pair-creation timestamp.

The output is a single compact code block — no scrolling, no clicking through pages. The first row is the OG. Every other row tells you how much later that token launched relative to the OG.

Example

Section titled “Example”

SCRIBBLI — OG Checker

#  CA     MCAP     VOL24H   DATE  AFTER
1. 2P9L4  $11.3K   $19.3K   30/04 OG
2. 8c3Jd  $1.23M   $4.7M    01/05 +188m
3. Fx3Xh  $95.9K   $573K    01/05 +266m
4. EMVy6  $272K    $7.6K    01/05 +6h
5. Zp2NS  $99.2K   $0       01/05 +17h
OG launched: 30/04/26

Reading top to bottom:

  • Row 1 is the OG — the first SCRIBBLI pair ever created on Solana. It launched on 30/04, and even though its market cap is small, it still has $19.3K of 24h volume — somebody’s still trading it.
  • Row 2 appeared 188 minutes later. It now sits at $1.23M market cap with $4.7M volume — clearly the one that took off, but not the OG.
  • Rows 3–5 are progressively later. Some still have liquidity, some are abandoned. Volume tells you whether anyone is actively trading them right now.

The footer shows the OG’s full launch date, since per-row dates only include day and month.

What you can spot

Section titled “What you can spot”

The columns make a few things obvious at a glance:

  • The actual OG. Row 1 is always the earliest pair. If a friend pasted you a contract that ends in something other than the row-1 CA tail, you’re probably looking at a clone.
  • Which clone trended. The token with the biggest VOL24H is the active one — usually not row 1, often somewhere in the middle.
  • Dead clones. A $0 in VOL24H means nobody traded it in 24 hours. Combined with a tiny MCAP, it’s a clone that fizzled.
  • Coordinated launches. When rows 2–5 all show +3h or +5h, someone batched a wave of clones right after the OG to harvest search traffic.

Filtering and scam detection

Section titled “Filtering and scam detection”

/og doesn’t show you every match it finds. Pairs are filtered to qualify on real liquidity OR meaningful 24h activity, and obvious scam patterns are stripped out before the list is rendered:

  • Honeypots — pairs with many buys but zero sells (you can buy but not sell).
  • Inflated FDV — pairs where the claimed market cap is more than 500× the available liquidity, the signature of a fake price propped up by a thin pool.

Pre-migration pumpfun pairs (which run on a bonding curve, not a traditional LP) are exempt from the liquidity rule — they’re real even when DexScreener reports null liquidity.

Filtering rules in detail Exactly which pairs qualify, which get rejected, and why.

When to use it

Section titled “When to use it”

Reach for /og whenever you see a symbol but don’t trust the address:

  • Someone pastes a contract for a coin you’ve heard of — /og <ca> lets you confirm whether it’s the original.
  • A symbol is trending and you want to see the full clone family before deciding which one is real.
  • You’re investigating a token’s history — the row-1 launch date is the symbol’s true age on that chain.
Using /og Command syntax — chain plus symbol, contract auto-detect, or both.
