# Contract address

## Definition

A contract address is the blockchain address at which a smart contract's code and persistent state are associated.

## What it means in practice

For tokens, the contract address is often the most reliable way to distinguish one asset implementation from another on the same network.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

When Terenval presents or interacts with contract-based assets on supported EVM networks, the contract address is part of the asset's network identity.

**Important:** Verify contract addresses from authoritative project or explorer sources before approving interactions.
