ENS, .sol and other names
A name such as name.eth or name.sol is not an address. It points to one, and the pointer is stored on a blockchain.
Why the checker does not look names up
Finding the address behind a name means asking a node or an API — a request that contains the name. Every page with an input here is built so that it cannot make any request at all. Resolving names would break that, so it is not offered.
What to do instead
- Let the wallet resolve the name, then read the full address it shows before confirming.
- Paste that resolved address into the checker to see its format and network.
- Remember that the owner of a name can change the address it points to. A name that worked last month may point elsewhere now.
Common name systems
.eth— Ethereum Name Service (ENS), resolves to EVM and other addresses..sol— Solana Name Service..near— NEAR account names are accounts themselves, not pointers; the checker checks their form.- Others (
.crypto,.x,.bnb,.trx) are run by separate services.
FAQ
Can this site resolve an ENS name?
No. That needs a request containing the name, and the checker pages are not allowed to make requests.
Is a .near name an address?
Yes, on NEAR an account name is the account itself. The checker checks its form; whether it exists needs a lookup.
