Why each check matters
| Check | What it prevents |
|---|---|
| Official app and link | Fake apps and phishing pages |
| Phrase kept private | Wallet takeover. Phantom says it will never ask for your recovery phrase. |
| Full address match | Buying a copycat token |
| Authorities | New tokens or frozen accounts. The Solana docs describe both as optional authorities. |
| Liquidity | Being unable to sell at a fair price |
| Spare SOL | Failed transactions. Base fee is small, 0.000005 SOL per signature. |
| Loss tolerance | Harm from a total loss |
Worked example of sizing
Suppose your monthly spare money is 200 dollars. A cautious rule is to put in a small slice, say 10 dollars, and treat it as already spent. If it falls to zero you lost 10 dollars, not rent money. If it rises, you learned how the process works. The sizes here are examples, not advice. See how to set a memecoin budget.
Before you click confirm, one last read
- Does the wallet or app show the exact amount you intended?
- Is the site address the one you bookmarked?
- Are there any extra permissions requested? If yes, stop.
Common mistakes
- Skipping the checklist because the token is trending.
- Checking name and ticker but not the full address.
- Believing someone who promises profit. The FTC says only scammers guarantee profits.
- Not testing with a small amount first.
After buying, verify your purchase on Solscan and secure your holdings with safe storage. Not financial advice.
How to use this list
Print it or keep it in a note, and tick each line before every first time action with a new app, site or wallet. If you cannot tick a line honestly, stop and learn the step first. The related guides cover the details: wallet setup, verification, slippage and scams.
Nothing here is a recommendation to buy. The QNT memecoin is independent of Quantinuum Ltd, prices are volatile, and this site never predicts them.

Frequently asked questions
Why use a checklist?
Most memecoin losses come from avoidable mistakes such as wrong addresses and fake links.
How much should I spend first?
Start with a small amount you could lose entirely.
Do I need to run all 12 checks every time?
Run the full list for your first purchase and whenever you use a new app or site. A short version suffices for repeats.
What if one check fails?
Stop. Do not buy until you understand why.
Does passing the checklist mean QNT will go up?
No. The list reduces avoidable mistakes. It says nothing about price.
Where do I find the right address?
On this site and the team's official channels. Compare it in full.
