What we can and cannot do

Every feature on this site, classified honestly. If something is not connected and tested, it is not presented as working.

Last updated: 22 September 2026

Accounts and saved preflightsOperational

Email-and-password or Google sign-in is required to save a preflight. Each preflight, its checks, links, test transactions, acknowledgements and receipts belong to the account that created them, and database access rules block every other account from reading or changing them. We never ask for your wallet or exchange credentials — only for a CryptoPreflight sign-in.

Address format and checksum validationOperational

Real calculations, no lookup service: EIP-55 capitalisation checksums for Ethereum-style addresses, bech32 and Base58Check for Bitcoin, Base58Check for XRP Ledger and Tron, and 32-byte decoding for Solana. A valid format never means an address is legitimate.

Address-to-network compatibilityOperational

If an address belongs to a different chain family than the network you selected, the preflight reports Action required.

Sending network vs instructed network comparisonOperational

A direct comparison of the two answers you give. It is only as accurate as the deposit instructions you read.

Independent recipient confirmationOperational

The recipient opens a single-use link, types the asset, network, address and memo / tag from their own deposit screen, and our server compares the two entries. Your entries are never sent to their page or to its API response, before or after they answer. After they submit, they see only which fields matched. You see which fields matched and any note they wrote — not the raw values they typed, although those values are stored against your preflight. It does not verify anyone's identity.

Test-transfer lookup on public chain sourcesOperational

For Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Bitcoin, Solana and XRP Ledger we read a transaction hash from free public nodes and explorers and compare chain, asset, destination and success against your preflight. Tron is not covered. Any provider failure, timeout or unclear answer is reported as Unable to assess — never as a pass.

Preflight ReceiptOperational

A private record of the exact details reviewed, every check result with its source and timestamps, the unresolved items and your acknowledgements. It is a record of limited checks — not insurance, certification, or permission to send.

Memo / destination tag flaggingRule-based guidance

Rules based on the asset and destination type. CryptoPreflight cannot look up whether a specific account needs a tag and never generates one.

Destination-platform deposit rulesRule-based guidance

A small hand-curated table of platform deposit rules, each carrying the date it was recorded. Where a rule is missing, conflicting, or older than 90 days, the check reports Unable to assess rather than guessing. Recording a check today does not mean the platform's rules were re-read today.

Large first-time transfer and test-transfer promptsRule-based guidance

Thresholds and prompts based on your own answers, not on live prices or on-chain history.

First and last character confirmationRule-based guidance

A prompt to compare the address against the destination's page. Only you can complete it.

Homepage walkthroughSimulated demonstration

An animated recreation of the product screens with fictional transfer data and a narrated voice track. It is not a screen recording, and the transfer activity it shows never happened.

Demonstration scenariosSimulated demonstration

The four examples on the demo page run the real check engine against synthetic transfer details. The address and network findings are genuinely computed; the test-transfer facts shown there are synthetic and labelled as such. A saved preflight never uses simulated chain results.

Exchange or recipient credit confirmationNot currently available

An on-chain transaction is not proof that an exchange credited an account. We have no authorised exchange integration, so account credit is always reported as unavailable and must be confirmed by you or the recipient.

Scam-address detection and sanctions screeningNot currently available

Requires a licensed risk-data provider such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs or Elliptic. No such provider is connected.

Wallet ownership and identity verificationNot currently available

Proving control of an address requires a signed message from that wallet. Not implemented. A confirmation link proves only that whoever opened it typed matching details.

Transaction simulationNot currently available

Requires a simulation service. Not implemented.

AI risk analysisNot currently available

Nothing on this site uses a model to judge risk. Every result comes from explicit rules.

Application-level encryption and independent auditNot currently available

Data travels over HTTPS and is held by our managed database platform. We have not implemented encryption at rest beyond that platform's defaults, and no independent penetration test, audit or certification has been carried out.

Automated exchange deposit-rule feedPlanned integration

Confirming that a named exchange currently supports an asset on a given network needs a maintained data source or per-exchange integrations. Until then the curated table above is used, with its recorded dates shown.

PaymentsPlanned integration

No payment processor is connected and no card details are collected anywhere on this site. Prices shown on the pricing page are indicative only.

CryptoPreflight cannot execute, reverse, insure or guarantee a transaction, and never claims that a wallet, person, platform or transfer is safe.
