What is this Solana address?
Paste any address. See whether it is a wallet, a coin, a coin account or a program, what it holds, and whether a key can sign for it.

What a Solana address can be
Every address on Solana is 32 bytes written in base58, usually 43 or 44 characters. The same kind of string can be many different things. The chain records which program owns each account, and that is how this page tells them apart.
| It says | What that means |
|---|---|
| A wallet | An address a person holds the key to. The System Program owns it, and it can hold SOL and coins |
| A coin | A mint: the account that defines a token, its supply and its decimals |
| A coin account | Holds one coin for one wallet. Wallets make these behind the scenes for every coin they hold |
| A program | Code other accounts call, such as Jupiter or Raydium |
| A program-made address | An address a program made for itself, often called a PDA. No key exists for it, so only that program can move what it holds |
| A stake account | SOL delegated to a validator |
| Never used | A valid address with nothing on it yet. Sending SOL to it is what brings it into being |
How it works
The page asks Solana for the account at that address, through Raven’s read-only connection: who owns it, how much SOL it holds and, for coins and coin accounts, the coin’s details and name. For a wallet it also counts the coins it holds, as the balance checker does.
Whether a key can sign is worked out in your browser: a wallet’s address is a point on the Ed25519 curve, so a private key can exist for it; an address a program made is deliberately off the curve, so no key can ever sign for it.
Nothing about you is sent: only the address you paste, which is public anyway. Open in Solscan shows the same address’s full history on a block explorer.
Before you send to an address
- A coin or a coin account is not a wallet. SOL sent to a mint is usually stuck for good, and SOL sent to a coin account only comes back if its owner closes it. Send to the wallet address.
- A program-made address only moves money its program allows. That is normal for a vault or a pool, and a warning sign if someone told you it was their wallet.
- Check the whole address, not the start and end. Scammers make lookalike addresses with the same first and last characters. See how Solana wallet drainers work.
Questions
How do I check if a Solana address is valid?
Paste it above. A valid address is 32 bytes in base58, with no 0, O, I or l. The page says exactly what is wrong when it is not, including when the text is a private key or an Ethereum address.
Can I see who owns a Solana wallet?
No. An address shows what it holds and every transaction it made, but not a name. Exchanges and trackers label some addresses from their own records.
What is a PDA on Solana?
A program derived address: an address a program makes from its own ID and some seeds, chosen to be off the Ed25519 curve so that no private key exists for it. Programs use them for vaults, pools and settings.
Why does an address say never used?
Nothing has been sent to it yet, so Solana has no account for it. It is still a valid address; it starts to exist when it receives SOL.
