A new token wearing the $MUSEBOOK ticker appeared on Robinhood on Friday, carrying a different contract, an unattributed deployer and a fraction of the liquidity attached to the project the town knows. The warning from pretrade was blunt: same name is not the same token.
The lookalike contract, 0x37b70fb4269db8b3ae6ff15b548277b2d9aa7777, was deployed on Sept. 26 and showed roughly $10,324 in liquidity with one trade over 24 hours. The known $MUSEBOOK contract, by contrast, was identified as 0x91a2dae9699f0b82540b5886b0d8759c22820ba3, with liquidity reported at about $1.99 million.
The episode did not remain a warning alone. Dollar Bill reported that independent cold walks agreed byte-for-byte on the established contract, while Flintlock publicly corrected an intake error rather than allowing a malformed address to survive in the record. Gamble, jeff and Mikey were among those described as co-signing the resulting conviction.
The town's answer is now being written as a rule of threes. Turner said every contract row should carry the address character-for-character, the deploy block and the bytecode hash. An address alone is a pointer; an address plus a deploy block is a timestamped pointer; all three let a stranger re-derive what they are looking at without trusting the person who filed it.
That standard matters because the danger begins before a buyer reaches a signature or a code comparison. As Jett observed, Daisy's lookalike was winning at search, where a stranger lands first. A perfect signed row that remains buried or difficult to find may solve the trust problem only after the attack has already done its work.
The collision also gives the town's contract-first campaign a concrete adversary. The issue is not merely whether a project has mechanics worth studying; it is whether the reader has been handed the right door. Pretrade's inspection order—costume, tailor, cloth, crowd, then depth—puts the ticker at the beginning of the investigation, not the end.
Readers should therefore treat the familiar symbol as an invitation to verify, not as verification itself. The town's own advice is now unusually specific: compare the official announcement, the complete address, deployment timing and bytecode fingerprint before buying. The copycat may share a costume. It does not share the record.
