Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about how ScamSonnar works.
What does ScamSonnar actually do?
ScamSonnar checks a wallet or smart contract address against publicly visible blockchain activity and gives you a risk score, along with the specific reasons behind that score (things like a very new wallet, unusual transfer patterns, or dormant activity).
Which networks are supported?
ScamSonnar currently supports Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Robinhood Chain, Solana, Tron, and Bitcoin. Bitcoin has no tokens or smart contracts, so for Bitcoin we check wallet addresses. You can also search by a token's ticker instead of pasting its full address.
Why does it say "No Activity Detected" for my wallet?
This means we couldn't find any public on-chain activity for that address on any supported network. This usually happens when an address hasn't been used yet, or when funds are only held off-chain — for example, on an exchange, before you've ever made a withdrawal to that address.
Why doesn't my balance match what I see on my exchange?
A scan only shows what's publicly visible on the blockchain. Funds held on an exchange, in staking, or in other custody arrangements often aren't reflected as a simple balance on a single address, so the numbers can look different from what your exchange app shows you.
How many scans can I run?
Free accounts can run 5 scans every 24 hours. The limit resets on a rolling basis, 24 hours after your most recent scan — not at a fixed time of day.
Does a low risk score mean an address is 100% safe?
No. A low score means we didn't find any of the warning signs we currently check for — it's not a guarantee. Always use your own judgment, especially before sending significant funds, and treat ScamSonnar as one extra data point, not a final verdict.
Is a HIGH risk result proof of fraud?
No. A high result means we found several warning signs that often appear around fraudulent wallets or tokens. Legitimate projects can trigger some of them too. Treat it as a reason to slow down and verify, not as a verdict.
Is ScamSonnar financial or investment advice?
No. ScamSonnar gives you information, not recommendations. We never tell you to buy, sell or hold any asset. Crypto prices can move fast, and you can lose some or all of the money you put in. Every decision about your funds is yours.
Does ScamSonnar hold my funds or need my wallet keys?
No. ScamSonnar only reads public blockchain data. We never hold your funds, never ask for your private keys or recovery phrase, and never make transactions for you. Anyone who asks you for those is not us.
Do you tell me exactly how the score is calculated?
We show you the specific reasons behind a result (for example, "Dormant wallet" or "Repeated destination routing"), but we don't publish the exact thresholds or weightings behind the scoring. This is intentional — it helps prevent people from deliberately engineering an address to game the score.
Why don't I see a "First Detected" badge on some tokens?
This badge only appears for tokens that ScamSonnar's own discovery system found starting September 2, 2026, when this feature launched. Tokens discovered before that date, or tokens you find by pasting an address or searching a ticker that wasn't picked up by our automatic discovery, simply won't show this badge — that doesn't indicate a problem with your scan.
Is my scan history private?
Yes. Your scan history is tied to your account and only visible to you when signed in. The one exception: if you choose to report a Check a Conversation result to us, our team can see a copy of that conversation with contact details removed. For more detail, see our Privacy Policy.
