Crypto wallet address checker
Paste a wallet address to see which blockchain it belongs to and whether it has a typing mistake, before you send. It checks Bitcoin, TRON (TRC20), Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain (0x), Solana, Litecoin, Dogecoin, XRP, Bitcoin Cash and TON addresses.
Checked on your device. The address is never sent anywhere.
Why check an address before you send?
Crypto transfers can’t be reversed. Sending to an address on the wrong network, or to an address with a typo, is one of the most common ways people lose money. A quick check takes seconds.
Many address formats include a checksum: a few characters calculated from the rest. If one character is wrong, the checksum fails and the checker tells you. Bitcoin, TRON, Litecoin, Dogecoin and XRP addresses have one.
How to recognise an address
| Starts with | Network |
|---|---|
| bc1q, bc1p, 1 or 3 | Bitcoin |
| T | TRON (TRC20 USDT) |
| 0x | Ethereum (ERC20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), Polygon and other EVM networks |
| ltc1, L or M | Litecoin |
| D | Dogecoin |
| r | XRP Ledger |
| q or bitcoincash: | Bitcoin Cash |
| 32–44 letters and numbers | Often Solana |
The 0x trap
An address starting with 0x looks the same on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum and Base. The address can’t tell you which network to use, so always choose the network shown next to the address on the receiving app. Sending USDT on BEP20 to an address you were given for ERC20 is a classic way to lose it.

Safe sending checklist
- Copy and paste addresses. Never type them.
- Check the first and last 4–6 characters after you paste: some malware swaps copied addresses.
- Pick exactly the network the receiving app shows. On KWIQ, it’s shown next to each deposit address.
- Send a small test amount to a new address first.
- Add the memo or tag if the receiving app shows one (common with XRP and TON).
