Provenance for Solana tokens
FIRST
Know who deployed it first.
Paste any contract address. In one trace, FIRST tells you whether you're looking at the original deploy — or copy #14 riding its name, ticker, and image.
FIRST
✓
ORIGINAL
The first deploy of this identity on Solana. Everything after it is a copy.
NOT
FIRST
COPY #14
Not the original. The real one shipped 62 days earlier — here's the link.
The problem
In the trenches, the original
rarely wins. The fastest copy does.
The moment a token catches attention, copycats re-deploy it — same name, same ticker, the exact same image — within minutes. The chart looks identical. The CA is different. And nobody can tell which one came first.

<5 min
typical gap before a trending token gets vamped by re-deploys
Traders become exit liquidity. You ape the CA at the top of the feed, certain it's the one — and it's a copy the deployer minted twenty minutes ago to catch the overflow. Creators get vamped. Your launch trends for an hour, then a dozen clones fragment your holders and your volume, and half your community is trading a fake. Every screener on the market shows you a chart. Not one of them tells you if you're looking at the original.
Ticker and image tell you what a token looks like.
They tell you nothing about who was first.
The product
FIRST resolves any CA
to its true origin.
Not by matching tickers — anyone can type $GORP. FIRST fingerprints the token itself, traces every mint that shares that identity, and orders them by block time. The earliest one is the answer.
01
Fingerprint
A perceptual hash of the image bytes — not the URL, not the ticker. A re-hosted logo with a two-pixel shift still resolves to the same identity.
02
Trace
Search a continuously-indexed corpus of every Solana mint that shares that fingerprint, ordered by deploy time. Position #1 is the origin.
03
Verdict
A clear call: ORIGINAL, or COPY #N with the real deploy linked, the full lineage, and the deployer's on-chain reputation.
For traders
Don't buy the copy.
One paste before you ape. FIRST tells you if the CA in front of you is the origin or one of a dozen re-deploys — before you become someone's exit liquidity.
For creators · Launch Dashboard
Defend your launch.
Register your mint and FIRST watches the chain for you. The instant a clone of your token hits, you get pinged in real time — with the copy's CA ready to call out.
Why it holds
The answer isn't on any
chart. It's in the corpus.
A verdict is easy to fake once. Being right on every CA, every time, is a data problem — and that's the moat.
01 · The index
Continuous ingest
Every mint and its image hash, streamed and stored the moment it lands. You can't scan Solana per request — so whoever has the deepest history wins the lookup. That compounds daily.
02 · Trust
Honest by default
When a ticker collides with hundreds of unrelated tokens, FIRST says "no clear origin" instead of inventing lineage. Being right about uncertainty is what makes the confident verdicts worth trusting.
03 · Distribution
An origin feed
A verified-origin signal that screeners, wallets, and bots can consume. FIRST becomes the layer everyone checks — and a B2B anti-vamp check launchpads embed at the source.
