Balance guide
Check an address, identify the network and read the result with confidence.
Check a wallet
Copy the full public address from your wallet and paste it into the balance check. It starts with 0x and has 40 hexadecimal characters after the prefix.
Else reads BNB Smart Chain (chain ID 56) and opBNB (chain ID 204) separately and displays the block used for each result. The block numbers belong to different networks.
If you’re investigating a transfer, confirm its destination address and network in the sender’s transaction details. Then look up that same address here.
Check a particular token
Open “Check a token too” and enter the verified token contract address on the relevant network. Else checks whether code exists at that address, reads balanceOf for the wallet and formats it using the contract’s decimals. Verify the network and the contract in the explorer. Token names and ticker symbols can be duplicated.
For example, to check a token on opBNB, use the opBNB token field. Fill both fields only if you have independently verified the contract on each chain. The lookup covers the contracts you enter.
Read the result
- 0 BNB
- The network returned a zero native balance for this address.
- Unavailable
- Else couldn’t read that balance. Retry or open the address in the explorer. The other chain’s result is still usable.
- No contract at this address
- The selected network returned no contract code at the block checked. Verify the contract and network.
- Token balance unavailable
- The chain returned no usable token balance or precision. Check the contract in the explorer.
When the headline BNB balance is shortened, the exact value is shown underneath.
BNB for gas
Native BNB pays for network fees on the chain where it’s held. A balance on BNB Smart Chain cannot pay an opBNB fee. The transaction fee itself is estimated by your wallet when you prepare a transaction.
Data sources
Queries go directly from the browser to public RPC providers, who receive the queried public wallet and contract addresses. Else validates each provider’s chain ID before reading balances and tries a second provider when necessary.
All calls are read-only. Open a result’s explorer link to verify the address or contract on that network.
