How do I find a token contract address?

Block explorers such as Etherscan, BscScan, or Polygonscan hold data on ERC-20 tokens and their equivalents on their respective networks. To find a token contract address, simply head to the block explorer and search for your desired token. The contract address will be clearly indicated on its page. See below for an example from Etherscan:

How do I find a contract address for an ERC-20 token?

There are three main ways to do this: Block explorers such as Etherscan, BscScan, or Polygonscan hold data on ERC-20 tokens and their equivalents on their respective networks. To find a token contract address, simply head to the block explorer and search for your desired token. The contract address will be clearly indicated on its page.

Why does a token's address look like a public address?

When the originator first deploys the token's contract on the network, an address is generated that looks similar to the public addresses of Ethereum accounts. This is because the same cryptographic method is used in both situations (with slight nuances).
