ScamLens

Is this crypto address safe?

Check wallet addresses and token contracts across Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin for scam indicators, sanctions, and security risks.

Quick Answer

Quick answer: if you are about to send funds to a wallet or buy an unfamiliar token, check the address or contract first. ScamLens highlights sanctions exposure, honeypots, rug pulls, hidden fees, and known scam links before you transact.

Check wallet and contract risk before you send, approve, or buy
Highlights honeypots, sanctions exposure, rug pulls, and hidden fees
High-risk results can move straight into tracing, reporting, and victim-help

Keep Verifying

After the Wallet or Contract Check, Review the Source and Fund Path

High-risk wallets often appear alongside pressure-filled chats, fake platforms, fake support, or recovery claims. Verify the rest of the case too.

Chat / DM

Review the Chat or Support Conversation

Use this for investment groups, fake support, airdrop scams, and social DMs.

Platform / Site

Check the Platform or Deposit Website

If the address came from an exchange, mining site, wallet portal, or deposit page, check that site next.

Fund Flow

Escalate to Fund Tracing

Use tracing when the loss is material, multiple wallets are involved, or you need a documented evidence path.

Already Affected

Move Into the Victim Action Plan

If the funds already moved or you approved the contract, switch into recovery and reporting immediately.

If Funds Moved or an Approval Happened, Start Here

Many users reaching this page are no longer in prevention mode. They have already transferred funds, approved a contract, bought a token, or hit a withdrawal problem.

Fund Flow

If funds already moved, trace the flow first

Use this to map intermediate wallets, exchange off-ramps, and the movement timeline.

Formal Report

Complete the crypto-scam report package

Submit the address, hashes, platforms, chat evidence, and loss details through the reporting flow.

Recovery

If you bought or sent funds, open the recovery guide

Useful for fake exchanges, fake wallets, token scams, and direct on-chain losses.

Freeze

If USDT Is Involved, Review the Freeze Guide

Use this when the fund path may still be eligible for a platform or issuer freeze request.

Continue With the Source Platform, Contract, and Chat Scenario

If you are still working out which platform, contract, or conversation led to the wallet or token, these are the better next reads.

Crypto Exchange

Is This Crypto Exchange Safe

Use this for fake exchanges, fake support, custody stories, and blocked-withdrawal cases.

Contract

Does This Contract Hide Dangerous Logic

Continue checking for honeypots, proxies, mintability, sell restrictions, and dangerous permissions.

Address Poisoning

Is This Address a Poisoned or Lookalike Address

Use this for copied addresses, transfer-history confusion, and lookalike recipient addresses.

Chat / Support

If a group chat or fake support led here, analyze the chat

Useful for trading groups, airdrop DMs, fake support, and social-media scam setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if a crypto address is safe?
Paste a wallet or contract address into the ScamLens search box. You will see whether the address or token shows signs that should stop you from sending funds, signing, or buying.
What blockchains does ScamLens support?
ScamLens supports the main chains most users rely on, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Solana, and Bitcoin.
Is crypto address checking free?
Yes, ScamLens crypto address security checks are completely free with no registration required. Wallet and contract addresses on all 8 supported blockchains can be checked at no cost.
What risks does a crypto address check detect?
Checks detect phishing addresses, fake token traps (tokens you can buy but never sell), exit scam projects, blacklisted addresses, sanctions associations, suspicious transaction patterns, and hidden excessive fees.
What is a honeypot token?
A honeypot token is a malicious smart contract that allows you to buy but prevents you from selling. The contract code contains hidden restrictions that let developers sell while blocking regular holders. ScamLens automatically detects honeypot mechanics and clearly flags them in the report.
How do I identify a rug pull project?
Common rug pull warning signs: unverified contract, unlocked liquidity, developer holding large token supply, abnormally high buy/sell taxes, very few holders, and no real social media activity. ScamLens checks all these factors and provides a comprehensive risk assessment.
Can I recover crypto sent to a scam address?
Blockchain transactions are irreversible, making recovery difficult but not impossible. Take immediate action: 1) Report the address on ScamLens; 2) Contact involved exchanges to request freezes; 3) File a report with local law enforcement; 4) Use our fund tracing tool to analyze fund flow; 5) Visit our Victim Help page for detailed recovery guidance.
What sanctions lists are checked?
ScamLens checks major global sanctions lists via OpenSanctions, including the US OFAC SDN list, EU sanctions list, UN sanctions list, UK HMT list, and more. Sanctioned addresses are prominently flagged in reports — transacting with these addresses may violate laws.
What is a normal buy/sell tax for a token?
Most legitimate tokens have buy/sell tax rates of 0–5%. Anything above 10% is suspicious, and rates of 50%+ are almost certainly scams. Always check a token's tax settings before trading.
How does ScamLens crypto checking differ from GoPlus?
ScamLens is built for the decision around the transaction. It helps you judge whether to send, sign, buy, or stop, and it connects suspicious cases to tracing, reporting, and recovery steps if funds already moved.
