Fake Tokens

[RussianEnglishTranslation]

Let's assume i have created a game, and then created ERC tokens (Example swords) so the player must buy a token to be able to play the game.
What if someone creates similar tokens in his wallet and injects them into my game as if they are bought from my tokens store

That's not possible. I think play to earn crypto games will be big though.

there are lots of fake tokens in the market be aware of these

This is not possible if you prepare a good security system, something that is made must be based on an integrated security system and is in direct contact with game or network makers.

If not, then the game we make is not the best solution for people to use, how can people trust the game, if we can't maximize security alone, this is why making games is not an easy thing and can be done by people.

There are might be imitators who will launch your ideas as if it is their own.  It might also be possible that someone will create a token and name it exactly as yours. What is not possible however is someone injecting their token in to yours or the services you provides. This is not technically possible!

[bison]

each token has a different contract address and it can't be copied, no matter how similar the name or even the logo used will still have a different contract address if it's a clone, so there's nothing you need to worry about, you just need to write down the contract address that original and if you find a similar token, you just have to check the contract address.

Contracts are different and if you do try to deposit out coins/tokens which are in different then it would be still useless since it wouldnt credit out and this is the beauty of blockchain technology.
You are just imagining too much or simply doesnt really have the slightest idea or knowledge on how blockchain works.If you do then you would say that this kind of question is a little
bit senseless but since its isnt really bad to ask then its still a considerable one.

[Luqman]

Each token has its own smart contract, it must be different between your token and another token. So, there is no chance for someone to create a similar token and use it to play your game. You can identify it easily by analyzing its smart contract. I think you don't need to worry about this because it is very clear that you are safe with your own token.

[konflikkastil]

In this present world that we are in presently, lot of things are happening and the cryptocurrencies has also open the eyes of so many to a lot of things. Token when accepted turned into a digital currency, and will have fake paper note so also will should expect something like fake token too. Some people are just somewhere always looking for opportunities to defraud other people of their hard earned money. But that is why the Blockchain is one of the most secure space, it is so safe that there is not space for an intruder. Each coin has its own unique contract address, which can never be bridge. They can develop another token with similar purpose and even look alike, but the contract address will always be different.

im about to say this . never saw the same contract address so every contract address should be unique .

. So, there is no chance for someone to create a similar token and use it to play your game. You can identify it easily by analyzing its smart contract. I think you don't need to worry about this because it is very clear that you are safe with your own token.

if we code the game well , it will be hard or its not possible for hackers to attack it and when theres someone attempting to mess up the game ,
 they will be punished accordingly . they will think twice if they will do such act or not

Each coin has its own contract, so it is impossible to create the same coin. I admit the possibility that someone will make a coin that has the same name and a participant in your game can buy it by mistake on a decentralized exchange. But he will not be able to introduce such a coin into your game later, since it will have a different contract.

I'm not an expert regarding the coding of smart contracts but to create a faked tokens base on the original name and Ticker is possible, but let us accept the fact that both tokens have run on different smart contacts that's why its not possible to bind them together and run both in one platform

[Jaered]

These games have tokens and each token is matched to a contract address. No two tokens have the same contract address. A contract address is like the address of the token on its own Blockchain. So its not a feasible act. I daresay 100% impossible. So try another exploit sir

[DonFacundo]

Well it will not detect the fake token of your game because the coin has own contract address and the fake token has also contract address so it will not determine as a coin of your game even both are very similar like the name and the logo but the contract address will not be copy, every coin has unique contract address.

First time when crypto comes in market so many traders takes advantage of that and market is going till now very well but there are some people who making fake token and sending to bsc, polygen wallet not in eth wallet. Please beware of these tokens. They are sending these tokens in large numbers. I don't understand that how these mens will survive in this world who are always others money, not looking to do a legitimate job.

Even you are expert but still you are not aware with this it's not possible to create fake tokens because if you are doing all things properly, and you are good at programming then no one can do this all. I am not expert, but I feel that never have any duplicate ticker because you need something difference, even just a smart word or anything.

Every ERC token is working with his own smart contract, so if someone tries to take control, then you will identify this all very quickly.

Those who are cought in those kind of scam are either gullible or they don't care to know more about scams. If you check carefully, most of those tokens are always given out inform of Airdrops but I detest anything that's free.
Those tokens are created to steal your bnb if it's bsc or Ether but mostly it used to be BSC since it's always cheap to transact. The moment they sent you those random token and you decide to swap them, the smart contract will make execution in a way that it will take all your bnb.

You can also check this thread for similar reports HERE

[asus09]

Easy for BSC, Polygon, HT network to get scam and fake token on every transaction, maybe with lower gas fees scammer not worry with how much fees pay for sending their fake or scam token. You can track with your bsc address every time after success make transaction for sending coin you will received new token and most probably with scam coin in your address.

Its very easy to verify the fake tokens. Just verify contract address of that token. Because two tokens can have the same symbol but not the same contract address.

[Bollexz1]

Once a contract address is assigned for your so called project, the same exact address can never be generated for another project. So that address is what you give out to anyone who wished to invest into your project.

[Tessnik]

Well it may be possible for a token to have a similar name or a fake version but the contract address can not be the same as one address can't be used for two versions of coins, it's technically impossible but we have seen cases of such incident but mostly on the uniswap chain.
