Ask HN: Verifying a wallet before sending Funds in DeFi
I’ve been experimenting with some DeFi projects lately and am starting to get stressed about the risk around sending funds to the wrong wallet address or a malicious wallet address. With all of the scams happening I am curious about what practical steps people take to verify a wallet before sending funds.
Do you have any tools or methods you use to check the history or good standing of a crypto wallet address? I am hoping to find something lighter than a forensic wallet wrecker that would be reliable to use. Interested to see how others process this.
