How safe is your setup?

If the score is high risk, start with account security, seed phrase storage, and a small withdrawal test.

Recommendation
Mobile hot wallet for small amounts.
Use a hot wallet only for spending balances. For savings, graduate to hardware or multisig.

BTC / Sats / USD Converter
Convert Bitcoin units without confusion.
One bitcoin equals 100,000,000 sats. USD estimates use the live BTC price when available.
Unit note
0.001 BTC equals 100,000 sats.
Sats are useful for small amounts because most people do not think naturally in decimals of one bitcoin.
Address Checker + Explainer
Check what kind of Bitcoin address this looks like.
This only checks format. It cannot prove ownership, safety, or whether an address belongs to the intended recipient.
Waiting
Paste a Bitcoin address.
Legacy, nested SegWit, native SegWit, and Taproot addresses are explained here.
Transaction Explainer
Paste a transaction ID and learn what to check.
This explains the transaction ID format and links to a public explorer. Live transaction lookup can be added later.
Waiting
Paste a transaction ID.
A TXID is usually a 64-character hexadecimal identifier for a Bitcoin transaction.
