Show HN: USDT Address Checker – Validate USDT addresses across multiple networks

3 points by moonbay42 2y ago

I've created a free online tool to validate USDT (Tether) addresses across major networks like ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20, Omni, and BEP-2. Key features: - Supports all major USDT networks - Quick and easy address validation - Free to use - Additional USDT tools like QR code generator and converter As cryptocurrencies become more mainstream, it's crucial to have reliable ways to verify wallet addresses before transactions. This tool aims to improve security and reduce errors when dealing with USDT. I'd love to get feedback from the HN community on the tool's usefulness and any suggestions for improvement. Check it out: https://usdtqrtool.com/check-usdt-address https://usdtqrtool.com/check-usdt-address In addition to the address checker, the website offers other useful USDT tools: - [USDT QR Code Generator](https://usdtqrtool.com https://usdtqrtool.com): Generate QR codes for USDT addresses for easy transfers. - [USDT Converter](https://usdtqrtool.com/usdt-converter https://usdtqrtool.com/usdt-converter): Convert and calculate USDT to other currencies easily. - [Random Coin Generator](https://usdtqrtool.com/random-coin https://usdtqrtool.com/random-coin): Generate random cryptocurrency addresses and private keys. - [Top 100 Crypto Exchanges](https://usdtqrtool.com/top-crypto-exchanges https://usdtqrtool.com/top-crypto-exchanges): View information on the top 100 cryptocurrency exchanges. - [USDT QR Code API](https://usdtqrtool.com/api-docs https://usdtqrtool.com/api-docs): API documentation for displaying USDT QR codes in terminal. All these tools are free and designed to provide a comprehensive online toolkit for USDT users.

Looks like it works offline/client-side and doesn't perform any online/on-chain validation. Which is preferred if possible. Would be nice if the page explained what form of validation specifically is being performed. Currently it is not obvious what valid/invalid means in context. What is the source of the "scam reported" addresses currently? Are you planning to also publish sources?

  Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We completely agree with your point that providing more information about the validation process is indeed important. We plan to write a detailed article explaining our validation logic and display it prominently on the website. This will help users better understand what specifically "valid" and "invalid" mean in our context. I'd like to clarify our approach to determining valid and invalid addresses. Our validation mechanism is primarily based on checking the legitimacy of addresses according to the specific rules of each blockchain network. Every blockchain has its own unique address format and validation rules. Currently, we have implemented address validation for several major blockchain networks, including: 1. Ethereum (ETH) 2. TRON (TRX) 3. Binance Smart Chain (BSC) 4. Omni Layer 5. BEP-2 Regarding the source of "scam reported" addresses, we currently rely on a limited dataset from user feedback. However, we are actively expanding our data sources. In the near future, we plan to integrate multiple reliable APIs such as the scamsearch API and chainabuse API. This will significantly increase the comprehensiveness and accuracy of our data. Thank you again for your feedback. Your opinions are invaluable for our continuous product improvement.

Why do you rank exchanges by volume when many of them fake their volume / allow wash trading?

  I apologize, but we don't have access to the real volume data. What we present is based on publicly available information.

    Why not rank based on figures not easily manipulated like assets held by platforms?
