Welcome to the **BGA Token community on Hive!** This is where we’ll share short tutorials, explain how BGAT works on Waves, and post announcements about what’s live and what we’re building next.
What is BGA Token?
**BGA Token (BGAT)** is the utility token for the BlockGators Army Advertising Network. The network connects three sites that accept BGAT for supported features:
BlockGators Army — advertising, community activities, and BGA SportsCenter.
BGA Exchange — exchange features and information about BGAT staking.
BGA Poker — poker games that use BGAT as the play currency.
How BGAT works on Waves
BGAT is an issued asset on **Waves Mainnet**. You can hold it in a compatible Waves wallet and transfer it to another Waves address. Your wallet signs the transfer, and you can look up the transaction on Waves Explorer after it’s confirmed. **WAVES** is the blockchain’s native currency. **BGAT** is a separate asset with its own ID.
The original issuance created **50,000,000 BGAT**, with **8 decimal places**. The asset is **non-reissuable**, so the issuer cannot mint more units of that asset. See the original issuance on Waves Explorer.
How to identify the correct token
**Waves Mainnet asset ID**

Open Waves Explorer and select **Mainnet**.
Paste the full asset ID into the search bar. For BGAT, the asset ID is also the ID of its original issuance transaction.
Before trading or transferring, match the **entire asset ID** in your wallet or exchange. Use the full ID to distinguish BGAT from assets with similar names or logos.
