Crypto address validator

Paste a Bitcoin or Ethereum address and get a real verdict: the actual checksum is verified — Base58Check for legacy addresses, Bech32/Bech32m for SegWit and Taproot, EIP-55 for Ethereum — so a single mistyped character is caught, not just a wrong length. It reports the address type and network, and runs entirely in your browser.

Open Crypto address validator and you get an answer straight away, with no account to create. Its place is under Hashing & crypto; IP address lookup and JSON formatter, minifier and validator answer the questions closest to this one.

How to use it

  1. Open the tool — no signup or install needed.
  2. Enter your input or adjust the available options.
  3. Get your result instantly, then copy or download it.

Frequently asked questions

What does Crypto address validator do?

Paste a Bitcoin or Ethereum address and get a real verdict: the actual checksum is verified — Base58Check for legacy addresses, Bech32/Bech32m for SegWit and Taproot, EIP-55 for Ethereum — so a single mistyped character is caught, not just a wrong length. It reports the address type and network, and runs entirely in your browser.

When would I actually use this?

Verifying a download matches its published checksum, comparing two files without reading them, and generating a signature for an API request.

What is the most common mistake?

Hashing a password with a fast algorithm. MD5 and SHA are built to be quick, which is exactly wrong for passwords — those need a deliberately slow function like bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2.

What else is filed next to it?

IP address lookup, JSON formatter, minifier and validator and MAC Address Generator share its section. They are not variants of it — being filed together is not the same as being alike — but that is where to look if this turned out not to be the tool you wanted.

Where do the figures come from?

The digests follow their published specifications and are computed by the browser's own crypto implementation where one exists, so a value can be checked against any other conforming tool.

ExplainerXML to JSON: Attributes, Repetition, and the Single-Element Array TrapTwo documents that differ only in how many children exist produce two different JSON shapes, and no converter can tell them apart without a schema. Plus what this one really does with attributes, mixed content and whitespace — and the one thing it still cannot record.ExplainerYAML Looks Friendly and BitesYAML is JSON plus a type-inference layer, and the inference is the dangerous part. The same file run through a YAML 1.2 parser and a YAML 1.1 parser: no is a string in one and false in the other, 01234 is 1234 in one and 668 in the other, and 12:30:00 is a number in one of them.ComparisonChecksums Are Not Hashes: CRC-32, Adler-32 and What They Are ForA checksum catches accidents. A cryptographic hash resists an attacker. A hash-table hash spreads keys. Three different jobs, three different families — and here is a CRC-32 collision constructed by hand in 0.11 seconds to show exactly why you cannot substitute one for another.ExplainerEscaping a String for JSON: Three Characters Are Mandatory, and One Is a TrapRFC 8259 requires exactly three things to be escaped inside a JSON string. Everything else is optional. The one that actually breaks pipelines is a lone surrogate — legal in JSON text, impossible in UTF-8, and silently replaced the moment your data is written out.ComparisonJSON vs XML: What's the Difference?JSON and XML both store structured data as text, but they trade off differently.

Here's what it does, why it exists, why it isn't encryption, and the size cost it adds.
