VLX contract address: Ethereum and BNB Chain

The addresses above come from CoinGecko's VLX page. Cross-check them with the official site and a block explorer before you use them. The native VLX coin on the Velas chain itself has no contract address: it is the base asset, like ETH on Ethereum.

Which address do I need?

It depends on where you hold the token. If an exchange offers withdrawals on the Ethereum network, you need the ERC-20 address. If it offers BNB Smart Chain, you need the BEP-20 one. Importing the wrong contract into a wallet will show a zero balance or a different token.

How to verify a contract

1. Paste the address into the chain explorer (Etherscan for Ethereum, BscScan for BNB Chain).
2. Check the token name, symbol, holder count and age.
3. Compare with the listing on CoinGecko and the official site.

Common ways people get the address wrong

The most frequent error is copying an address from a social post, a chat message or a search ad instead of from a source you can verify. Attackers rely on people not checking more than the first few characters, and some generate addresses that begin and end like the real one. Compare the whole string, or better, paste it into the explorer and confirm that the page shows the expected token name, symbol and a long transaction history. A brand new contract with few holders that claims to be VLX is a warning sign.

Another common slip is mixing networks. An address that looks identical on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain can refer to entirely different contracts, because both use the same address format. Always confirm the network selected in your wallet before you paste a contract or approve a swap. When a decentralised exchange asks for approval to spend your token, read the spender and the amount, and prefer limited approvals over unlimited ones.
