YZY wallet

What is YZY (YZY)?

The rapper and Yeezy founder Ye put his name on YZY, a Solana token pitched as the currency of "YZY Money", a planned payment layer for Yeezy merchandise and a branded spending card. In practice it trades and moves like any other meme coin on Solana: there is no privacy technology in it and no decentralized application platform behind it, whatever generic blurbs say. What you hold is an SPL token whose value rests on the Yeezy brand and the crowd around it.

What a holder actually deals with

YZY is an SPL token, so it lives in a token account attached to your Solana address. Creating that account costs a small one-time rent deposit in SOL, and every transfer of YZY is paid in SOL, never in YZY itself. Keep a little SOL next to it, since every transfer needs it for fees.

The bigger trap is the ticker. Before and during the launch, many tokens named YZY appeared on Solana, some of them pushed by hijacked or imitation accounts. The only thing that distinguishes the real one is its mint, not its name or logo. In Tangem the token is added as a line on the Solana network, and the mint of that line is what you compare against the one published by Ye's official channels. Because the key is generated and kept inside the card's secure element, the address does not change once the right line is set up. Supported networks in Tangem (1): Solana.

Most of the supply was allocated to Ye's own company rather than sold to the public, so large holder movements are a normal feature of this token, not a sign that something broke.
