Crypto address checker

Paste an address to see which network it belongs to and whether its built-in checksum is valid. Sending to the wrong network is one of the most common ways to lose funds. The check runs entirely in your browser.

An Ethereum-style address is valid on every EVM chain, but the funds only exist on the chain you sent them on. Always choose the same network in the sending app as the receiving wallet shows. See also the address poisoning check.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool send my address anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser.

Can a valid address still be wrong?

Yes. A checksum only catches typos. A scammer's address is also valid; compare it with the recipient and watch for address poisoning.
