KOGE wallet

What is KOGE (KOGE)?

The KOGE that Tangem supports is the token of 48 Club, a long-standing community on BNB Smart Chain whose members also run a validator node on that chain. The token started life as the BNB48 Club Token and works as the club's transferable membership: holding it is what marks an address as part of 48 Club and lets the holder take part in the club's internal decisions. It is a plain BEP-20 token, so it sits at your BNB Smart Chain address like any other asset there, and every transfer is paid for with BNB. Keep a little BNB alongside it or the token will simply stay put.

One ticker, two unrelated tokens

The main thing a KOGE holder trips over is the name. A separate project on Polygon issued its own KOGE token, and search results, price trackers and even some wallet token lists mix the two up. They share nothing but the letters: different chain, different contract, different team. If a KOGE shows up on Polygon, it is not the 48 Club asset. When adding the token or checking a balance, go by the network first and the ticker second.

Because KOGE lives on one network but has a namesake elsewhere, the useful thing a wallet can do is show plainly which one you hold. Tangem shows the network a transfer will go out on before the card signs, so you can check where the KOGE you are moving actually lives. For a token whose only real hazard is being confused with something else, that clarity is the point of keeping it in Tangem.
