Check Crypto Claims Without Connecting a Wallet
Learn how read-only crypto claim checks work with a public wallet address, why allocation proofs matter, and how to interpret unknown eligibility.

Browsing claims does not require a wallet
You can browse possible contract leads and inspect their public functions without entering an address. On supported Ethereum-compatible networks, a public wallet address can be supplied for wallet-specific read-only checks. ClaimScanHQ does not need a recovery phrase, private key or transaction signature for these checks.
A public address is not a secret, but it has privacy implications
An address can reveal balances and transaction history, and someone who knows who owns it may link that activity to a person. Only supply an address when you want wallet-specific results. Never paste a recovery phrase or private key into an address field.
A claim function does not prove an allocation
A function called claim may distribute rewards only to a defined group, return a deposit, or serve a project operator. The contract name and function names are clues. Eligibility requires the actual project rules and evidence tying an allocation to the address.
Why a wallet address may not be enough
Some distributions use a Merkle tree and require an allocation index, token amount and proof supplied by the project. The function isClaimed(index) checks one allocation number. It cannot substitute for a wallet lookup. A false response means only that the supplied index has not been marked claimed, not that a particular wallet is entitled.
Treat unavailable checks as unknown
A missing allocation, unsupported function or failed provider response is not a zero entitlement result. Keep the outcome unknown until the project provides the necessary evidence. A successful balance query establishes holdings at that time; it does not discover a separate unclaimed reward.
Verify the project before taking action
Compare the network and full contract address with official project documentation and an independent explorer. Check deadlines and distribution rules. Do not assume that a site linked from a token name is authentic. A high contract signal does not prove project safety or wallet entitlement.
