How It Works

What this tool checks

This tool checks whether a wallet address matches common structural patterns used by major crypto networks. It analyzes the prefix, length, and character patterns to identify likely address types.

What the result means

A valid result means the address looks structurally correct. An invalid result means the address does not match recognized patterns. An uncertain result means the format may be incomplete, ambiguous, or shared by multiple compatible networks.

What it cannot confirm

This checker does not verify whether the address is active, controlled by the intended recipient, or compatible with every token you want to send. Always perform additional verification before transferring funds.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Assuming a valid address means the transfer is safe

Many users think a valid-looking address guarantees a successful transfer.

Solution

Always verify the address with the recipient through a separate channel, and confirm they support the token and network you plan to use.

Sending tokens on the wrong network

EVM addresses work across multiple chains, leading users to assume any EVM address accepts any token.

Solution

Confirm the specific network the recipient expects. Do not assume EVM address = universal compatibility.

Ignoring memo/tag requirements

Some exchange deposits require a memo or destination tag in addition to the address.

Solution

Always check if the receiving platform requires additional information beyond the wallet address.

Copying only part of an address

Users sometimes accidentally copy truncated addresses from messages or screenshots.

Solution

Double-check the full address character by character. Use copy-paste rather than manual typing when possible.

Trusting screenshots instead of copying the actual address

Scammers may provide screenshots with slightly altered addresses.

Solution

Always copy addresses directly from the official source, never from screenshots or images.

Confusing EVM-compatible chains with native chain support

Users may send tokens to an EVM address on a chain the recipient does not support.

Solution

Verify which specific chains the receiving platform supports before sending.
