Chainabuse

What it is

Chainabuse is a public scam-reporting platform backed by major blockchain security firms. It indexes reported scam addresses, websites and playbooks across multiple chains.

When you need it

• Before sending funds to an unfamiliar address — check whether it has been reported
• Vetting a suspicious "investment opportunity" or "airdrop claim" domain
• After being scammed: filing a report warns others and supports police reports in some jurisdictions

Quick start

1. Paste the wallet address or URL into the search box.
2. Existing reports → walk away. No reports → not proof of safety, just not reported yet.
3. When filing a report, include the TxID, screenshots and a timeline — completeness is what makes it useful.

Safety note

"No reports found" never equals safe. Scam addresses rotate constantly. The reliable rule remains: any profit opportunity that comes to you uninvited should be treated as a scam.
