Check first. Then send.
Free tools from ChainWatch to help you spot a scam before you send or sign. No account, no cost.
Address Checker
Check a crypto address, payment QR code, link or message before you send money.
- Spots typos and addresses for the wrong network
- Flags lookalike addresses used in address-poisoning scams
- Checks public sanctions lists and stablecoin blacklists
- Reads payment QR codes from your camera or a screenshot
- Flags fake or disguised website links and common scam wording in messages
A clean result doesn’t mean an address is safe. Most scam addresses are new and on no list.
ChainWatch Guard
A free browser extension that warns you at the moment you could lose crypto.
- Warns you before you type a recovery phrase into a website
- Warns you about unlimited approvals and "permit" signatures, in plain English, before you sign
- Warns you about addresses swapped on your clipboard, and lookalikes
- Risky prompts default to Cancel, so a stray click can’t approve
For desktop Chrome, Edge and Brave.
Private by design. Both tools do their checks on your own device. The Address Checker doesn’t send the address, link or message you check to ChainWatch, and camera images and screenshots stay on your device. Guard sends nothing anywhere; see the Guard privacy policy.
