How to check a crypto wallet address

1
Copy the wallet address
Long-press the address in the message or page you received it from, or copy it from your wallet's send dialog. Never re-type it by hand — clipboard hijackers swap addresses.
2
Paste it into the checker
Paste the address into the input above. Works for EVM (0x…), Bitcoin (bc1…, 1…, 3…), Solana (base58), and TRON (T…).
3
Read the verdict and risk score
You'll get a 0-100 risk score, a verdict (safe / caution / high risk / blacklisted), and the exact blacklist hits or heuristics behind it.
4
Act before you send
If the score is over 60 or the verdict is blacklisted: do not send. If you've already sent to a flagged address, open the panic guide for the recovery checklist.

Become a Certified Blockchain Investigator

The wallet checker shows the verdict. Our certifications teach you how to trace funds across chains, attribute clusters, and build evidence that holds up. The links below open GACS certification pages where you can enroll or read the full syllabus.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a crypto wallet is a scam?

Paste the address into the checker above. GACS looks it up against 137,000+ confirmed scam entries, community reports from the last 24 hours, known drainer-contract patterns, and chain-specific heuristics, then returns a 0-100 risk score with the exact reasons behind it.

Which blockchains does the wallet checker support?

Ethereum and all EVM chains (Polygon, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism), Bitcoin (legacy, segwit, taproot), Solana, and TRON (TRC-20). It auto-detects the chain from the address format.

Is the wallet checker really free? Does it connect to my wallet?

Yes, free — no account, no per-query limit. And no, it never connects to your wallet. You paste a public address; the checker is read-only and runs entirely on public on-chain and community data.

What makes a wallet address high-risk?

Common signals: appears in the community blacklist, received funds from a known drainer or mixer, is a freshly-created address being used to collect from many small senders (classic pig-butchering deposit pattern), or shares a transaction graph with already-reported scam contracts.

I already sent crypto to a flagged address. What now?

Follow the 15-minute panic guide at /panic-guide. The short version: revoke any open token approvals immediately, move remaining funds to a fresh wallet, file a report with chain analytics firms and your local police, and report the address to GACS so the next person who checks it sees your warning.

How is this different from Etherscan or chain explorers?

Explorers show you transactions; the wallet checker tells you whether to trust them. GACS adds the community blacklist, AI heuristics, drainer-pattern detection, and a one-line verdict — instead of asking you to interpret a transaction graph yourself.
