STBU · before you trade

Only one pool is ours. The others will not warn you.

Within minutes of our pool opening on 16 September 2026, other people created pools on Base carrying the STBU name. We did not create them and we do not operate them. The important part is that they do not fail with an error: a swap there completes normally, and you keep a small fraction of what you paid. This page is how you avoid that in three checks.

Our pool holds $30,306. The others hold $12.92 between them, which is roughly 2,346 times less. A pool can only pay you what it holds, so a hundred dollar trade in one of them is almost entirely your own money moving the price against you.

Nothing about those pools is broken. They carry very high fees and hold almost nothing, and together that means a trade there is mostly loss. A trade is as final as a burn. Read from the chain 2026-09-18 06:49 UTC and rewritten every day.

Three checks before you confirm

They take ten seconds and they catch every case on this page.

Do them in this order. The third one alone would have prevented every loss we have seen so far.

  1. The network says Base.

    Not Ethereum, not BNB Chain, not Polygon, not Arbitrum. The contracts on those four chains were discontinued on 15 September 2026. They still display a price in some interfaces, but that market is closed and nothing you buy there can be migrated.

  2. The contract address is exactly this.

    0xe0c0F44A84CC4a60206360006ebA237a5e8fC2dd. Compare the whole string, not the first four characters. Anyone can deploy a token called STBU.

  3. The amount you receive looks sensible.

    This is the check that catches everything else. At the price read for our pool today, 100 USDC should offer you roughly 92,435 STBU. If a screen offers you a small fraction of that, you are in a pool that is not ours. Stop and use the link above.

The pools that carry our name

Only the first row is ours.

Rebuilt from the chain every day, so this list follows whoever creates the next one. A pool with no trades yet may not appear until it has some, which is another reason to check the address rather than the table.

A pool is identified by its id, not by the ticker printed next to it. The first row is ours. The rest were created by third parties and appear here so you can recognise them, not so you can find them.

Compare the last two columns rather than the names. A pool quoting a price several times away from the first row, on a few dollars of depth, is not a market. The fee is charged on top of that.

This table is rebuilt from the chain every day. If someone creates another pool tomorrow, it appears here without anybody editing this page.

If your trade is rejected

That is usually the pool's depth, not a fault.

Worth understanding rather than retrying, because retrying does not help.

If a larger purchase is rejected, that is usually not a fault and not an attack. Our pool is young, so a trade moves its price, and the bigger the trade the more it moves. When that move is larger than the slippage tolerance, the interface refuses rather than filling you at a worse price. That refusal is the interface protecting you.

The tolerance is set by the interface, not by us. Uniswap sets it to Auto and prints the figure right above the confirm button, and it chooses a wider tolerance for a young pool than for a deep one. Read the number it shows you rather than assuming one.

The depth of the pool is on this page, in the row marked as ours. The larger your order is relative to that number, the more the price moves against you.

As a sense of scale at the depth read today, an order of about 400 USD moves the price roughly half a percent. An order several times that size will usually still go through, because the tolerance the interface picks is wider than that, but you pay the price impact either way. This figure is recomputed here every day, so it follows the pool rather than staying where it was written.

Two ways through if a trade is refused, both normal. Raise the tolerance in the interface's settings, which means accepting the worse price you are shown. Or buy in smaller amounts, which costs less in price impact overall.

The discontinued contracts

Names that look newer, and are not.

The names are written into those contracts and cannot be changed.

Searching for STBU by name may show you Stobox Token v.2 or Stobox Token v.3. Those names are written into the old contracts themselves and cannot be changed by anyone, including us. They look newer than the live token, which is named simply Stobox Token. They are not.

The four discontinued contracts, shown here so they can be recognised:

Ethereum · 0xa6422e3e219ee6d4c1b18895275fe43556fd50ed
BNB Chain · 0xb0c4080a8fa7afa11a09473f3be14d44af3f8743
Polygon · 0xcf403036bc139d30080d2cf0f5b48066f98191bb
Arbitrum · 0x1cb9bd2c6e7f4a7de3778547d46c8d4c22abc093

Buying any of those gets you a token that was switched off on 15 September 2026. It cannot be migrated and it is not the asset this site describes.

When a price site disagrees with this page

Judge by the contract address, not by the name at the top.

Records move between these sites by copying, so one out of date copy can surface in several places at once.

Price sites, portfolio trackers and wallets each keep their own record of a token, and several of them still hold the record of the legacy STBU rather than the one on Base. From the outside that looks like a discontinued contract address, a price or a market capitalisation of zero, an old logo, a description of products that no longer exist, or a note left over from before the migration.

None of that is a statement about the token on Base. It is a record that has not been updated yet, and those records are often copied between sites, so one stale copy can appear in several places at once.

One test settles it, and it does not go stale. Find the contract address on the page you are reading. If it is 0xe0c0F44A84CC4a60206360006ebA237a5e8fC2dd on Base, you are looking at the live token. If it is any other address, you are looking at the record of a contract that was switched off on 15 September 2026, and its price, its supply and its market capitalisation describe that contract rather than this one.

We have filed corrections with the sites that carry an out of date record, and each reviews on its own schedule. Until a site updates, the address test above is the reliable one, and the figures on /stbu are read from the chain on this site every day.

The rules that do not change

Short, and worth knowing before anything else.

None of this is specific to STBU. All of it is how people lose tokens.

Stobox will never message you first, and will never ask for your seed phrase or your private key. Anyone who does is not us, whatever name they use.

The only addresses we publish are on this site and on stbu.stobox.io. If you were sent an address anywhere else, check it against those two places before you send anything.

Burning is permanent and irreversible. So is a trade in the wrong pool. Neither of them can be undone by us or by anyone.

You can verify every claim on this page yourself: the contract source is published on BaseScan and independently in Sourcify, and a static analysis of it is at /stbu/security. The token page with live figures is at /stbu.

Straight answers

What people ask after they have lost something.

Which STBU contract and pool did Stobox deploy?

The contract is 0xe0c0F44A84CC4a60206360006ebA237a5e8fC2dd on Base, chain id 8453, which as a CAIP-19 asset id is eip155:8453/erc20:0xe0c0F44A84CC4a60206360006ebA237a5e8fC2dd. The pool is the Uniswap v4 pool on Base quoting STBU against USDC, pool id 0x28bd1d1afcc57d766c5d1c5c38bd8beb376a0c98de719460cdcef60900f7b8b5. Those two strings are the whole answer. Any other contract or pool carrying the STBU name was not deployed by Stobox Innovations Ltd.

How do I know I am in the right STBU pool?

Three checks, in this order. The network says Base, not Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon or Arbitrum. The contract address matches the whole string above, not just its first four characters. And the amount you are offered looks sensible: at the price on this page, 100 USDC should offer tens of thousands of STBU, so an offer of one or two thousand means the pool is not ours. The third check alone would have prevented every loss seen so far.

I received far less STBU than I expected. What happened?

Most likely the swap went through a pool that is not ours. Those pools do not fail with an error: a swap in them completes normally, and what comes back is a small fraction of what was paid, because they carry very high fees and hold almost nothing. A pool can only pay you what it holds. The depths of every pool carrying this name are in the table on this page, read from the chain, so the comparison needs no simulation.

Why was my STBU trade rejected?

Usually the pool’s depth rather than a fault. The pool is young, so a trade moves its price, and the bigger the trade the more it moves. When that move is larger than the slippage tolerance, the interface refuses rather than filling you at a worse price, which is it protecting you rather than something going wrong. The tolerance is set by the interface, not by Stobox: Uniswap sets it to Auto and prints the figure above the confirm button, and it picks a wider one for a young pool than for a deep one. Read that number rather than assuming one. Two normal ways through: raise the tolerance in the settings and accept the price shown, or buy in smaller amounts, which costs less in price impact overall.

Is Stobox Token v.2 or v.3 a newer version of STBU?

No, and the naming is the trap. Those names are written into the four discontinued contracts themselves and cannot be changed by anyone, Stobox included. The live token is named simply Stobox Token. Buying v.2 or v.3 gets you a token that was switched off on 15 September 2026: it cannot be migrated and it is not the asset this site describes.

Can Stobox reverse a trade made in the wrong pool?

No. Nobody can, Stobox included. A trade is as final as a burn, and both are permanent and irreversible. That is why the three checks on this page come before you confirm rather than after.
