How to check a Blast address

  1. Get the public addressAsk your counterparty for the address they will send from — or copy it from the incoming transaction.
  2. Pick a service that covers BlastChoose one marked “Supported” in the list above. Only bridge out through the official Blast bridge linked from blast.io. Treat 'migration' or 'claim' links sent by DM or shown in ads as suspicious.
  3. Run the check and read itThe same 0x address has a separate history on Blast and on other EVM chains, so screen the Blast history on its own (for example on blastscan.io).
A real AML check needs only a public address. Never share a seed phrase or private key.

Blast specifics

  • Blast mainnet is an EVM network with chain ID 81457 that pays gas in ETH. Its official block explorer is blastscan.io.[1]
  • On Blast, ETH and USDB balances grow automatically ('rebase'). Blast's docs say the ETH yield came from staking on Ethereum (initially via Lido), and the USDB yield came from MakerDAO's on-chain T-bill protocol.[2]
  • Blast's docs say withdrawals from Blast to Ethereum through the official bridge take about 7 days.[3]
  • According to L2BEAT, a 3-of-5 multisig can upgrade Blast's core bridge contracts instantly, and users get no exit window before an unwanted upgrade takes effect. Blast's own governance docs describe a five-member Safety Committee multisig that can 'execute any software upgrade ... with no delay' in a security emergency.[4]
  • Uniswap ended support for Blast (chain ID 81457) in its bridging and cross-chain flows, saying demand for Blast had 'decreased significantly'.[5]
  • L2BEAT rates Blast below Stage 0 because its fraud-proof system is 'still under development'. Users have to trust the block proposer to post correct state to Ethereum.[6]
