The Fork-Mirror
Detector
A number on-chain isn't real just because it's there. See whether a token is real value — or an echo of the 2023 fork.
Paste a token. The Detector reads its live supply on PulseChain and on real Ethereum — three RPCs each — and tells you whether you're looking at value or a mirror. Facts, not signals.
PulseChain copied all of Ethereum in 2023. Most “balances” are echoes.
When PulseChain launched in May 2023 it forked Ethereum's entire state — every token, every balance, copied onto a new chain. So a token can show a big, real-looking number on PulseChain that is really just a snapshot of Ethereum, with its own separate reality since. Worse: some forked tokens were then minted far past their real counterpart. Forked DAI reads about 44 billion on PulseChain against only ~4.65 billion of real DAI on Ethereum — a “live” number that is roughly 9.5× inflated and economically empty at face value.
This is the single mistake that fools people worst on PulseChain — and it's invisible unless you check both chains at once. The Fork-Mirror Detector does exactly that: it reads a token's live supply on PulseChain and on real Ethereum, three independent RPCs each, and tells you the relationship — native, frozen mirror, or inflated fork. It is the one-click version of the core lesson from the On-Chain Analyst's Path: follow the money — real value, not mirror value.
Like every tool here, it states facts and gives no advice. It won't tell you to buy or sell. It tells you whether the number in front of you is real — so you can never again mistake a fork echo for value.
Real value, or a fork echo?
Two chains, three RPCs each, one verdict — the token's own supply on PulseChain vs real Ethereum, side by side.
Four verdicts, one honest question
The Detector compares the token's totalSupply() and contract presence on both chains, each read triple-verified against three independent RPCs of that chain. From the two states it returns one of four verdicts:
