For the public
Check a wallet before you send money
Paste the address you were given. You will see whether it is linked to sanctions, fraud reports or an unregistered provider.

Free, no account needed. Examples
How it works
Step 1
Paste the address
Copy the wallet address you were given and paste it in the box. Nothing is stored against your name.
Step 2
Read the result
You get a plain risk rating, whether the address appears on a sanctions list, and whether it is linked to an unregistered provider.
Step 3
Decide, then keep the proof
If the result looks bad, do not send. You can download the result as a PDF and give it to your bank or the police.
Before you send
Nobody legitimate rushes you
Pressure to send within minutes is the most common sign of a scam. A real provider will wait.
Guaranteed returns do not exist
Crypto-assets are largely unregulated as investments. Promised profits are a warning, not a feature.
Check the firm, not the website
A polished site proves nothing. Only the register tells you whether a firm is authorised in the EU.
Transfers cannot be reversed
Once a transfer is confirmed on a network, no authority can undo it for you.
Is the provider authorised?
Firms offering crypto-asset services in the EU need an authorisation from a national competent authority. Search the register before you hand over money or documents.
Search the MiCA registerWhat the rules give you
A white paper with the information you need before buying a crypto-asset
A 14-day right of withdrawal on some offers to the public
Clear warnings about risk, and marketing that must be fair and not misleading
A complaints procedure at the provider, and at your national competent authority
Rules on how providers hold your assets separately from their own
Questions
No. The wallet check is free and does not require an account. Full exposure graphs and case files are the part reserved for verified institutions.
