Good for, and what to watch

Good for

  • The standard place to check any Ethereum address or transaction
  • Shows a contract's verified source code
  • Free, with no account needed to look anything up
  • Sister sites cover Base, BNB Chain and other networks

Watch out for

  • Look-alike addresses planted in your history are a common scam
  • Anyone can create a token and make it appear in your history
  • A verified contract means the code is published, not that it is safe
  • Sponsored banners are adverts, not recommendations
