Address check · runs in your browser
Which network is this address on?
The single biggest way people lose stablecoins is sending on the wrong network. Paste the destination address; the page tells you what it is, whether its checksum holds, and what to confirm before you press send.
What the check covers
- Bitcoin: bech32 (bc1q…) and bech32m Taproot (bc1p…) with checksum; legacy 1… and 3… with base58check.
- Litecoin: ltc1…, L… and M… with checksum; notes the old 3… overlap with Bitcoin.
- Tron: T plus 33 base58 characters, base58check and the 0x41 version byte.
- Solana: base58 key that decodes to 32 bytes. No checksum exists, and the page says so.
- EVM: 0x plus 40 hex characters; EIP-55 mixed-case checksum verified when present. Flagged as ambiguous across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Base and Optimism.
- TON: 48-character user-friendly form (EQ…/UQ…) with CRC-16, bounceable flag and testnet flag.
A passing checksum means the string was not mistyped. It does not mean the address belongs to who you think, and it does not tell you which network the receiver is watching for a 0x address. The route planner shows what each rail costs once you know the network.
Questions
What is the most common way people lose USDT?
Sending it on the wrong network. USDT exists as separate tokens on Tron (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, TON and more. If the sender picks a network the receiver is not watching, the transfer succeeds on-chain but the receiver never sees it. On an exchange deposit address it may be unrecoverable, or recoverable only for a fee after a support ticket.
Can I tell the network from the address alone?
Partly. Tron addresses start with T, Bitcoin with 1, 3 or bc1, Litecoin with L, M or ltc1, TON with EQ or UQ, and Solana keys are 32-byte base58 strings. A 0x address is ambiguous: the same address exists on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Base, Optimism and every other EVM chain, so the receiver must say which one they expect.
What if I sent USDT on the wrong EVM chain?
The tokens sit at the same 0x address on the chain you used. If the receiver controls the private key (their own wallet), they can add that chain in the wallet and see the balance. If the address belongs to an exchange, contact its support: some recover cross-chain deposits for a fee, many do not.
What if I sent ERC-20 USDT to a TRC-20 address, or the reverse?
A Tron address (T…) is not valid on Ethereum and a 0x address is not valid on Tron, so a wallet or exchange form will normally refuse it. If a form did accept it, the funds went to an address nobody controls and are gone. That is why matching the network before sending matters more than any check after.
Does this page send my address anywhere?
No. The detection and the checksum arithmetic run in your browser. The page makes no network request when you paste; the site’s content-security policy only allows the page to talk to its own origin at all.
Do I need a memo or tag?
Not for a plain wallet on Bitcoin, Litecoin, Tron, Solana or an EVM chain. Exchanges and some services on TON, XRP, Stellar and Cosmos chains require one to identify your deposit; if the receiver gave you a memo, it is mandatory.
