Token trust
Anyone can deploy a token called TSLA. The registry does not decide what may exist; it decides what Fletch will vouch for, and every surface renders the same verdict.
The five levels
- verifiedRobinhood lists this address, and the contract answers with the listed symbol and decimals.
- listedRobinhood lists this address. Fletch has not confirmed the contract against the listing yet.
- lookalikeNot listed, and its symbol or name folds to a verified asset's. The answer names the real one and its address.
- communityFound on chain, not listed. Everything shown is read from its own contract; nobody has verified it.
- unknownNothing answered at this address: no name, no symbol, no decimals.
How a lookalike is caught
Symbols are compared with homoglyphs folded and invisible characters stripped, so a Cyrillic Т, a Greek Τ and the Latin T are one letter, and so are 0 and O. L and I are deliberately left apart: folding them together would make TSLA and TSIA the same word and label unrelated tickers as impostors.
A second source is the lookalike scan, which reads each candidate's EIP-1967 beacon slot. A contract whose beacon is the issuer's registry was deployed by the issuer, so it is recorded as unlisted rather than called an impostor.

The answer carries the level, a sentence explaining it, what the token says about itself, where those facts came from, and for a lookalike the symbol and address of the asset it is imitating. The same verdict appears on the market table, on the token's page, and on every Telegram alert about it.
