Etherscan Information Center (2024)

Users can bring up any address page on Etherscan by searching for an address using the search bar that is present on every page of our website. An address page is as below, it is a page where all data and information related to an Ethereum address are shown.

For this breakdown, we will be looking through a contract address page in 3 different sections, namely General Information, Contract Details, and Activity.

Section A: General Information

1. Contract: This shows the contract address that you are currently viewing.
2. Copy: Clicking on this button will copy the address into your clipboard.
3. View QR Code: Clicking on this button will show you the QR code for the address you are viewing.
4. Public Note: This banner shows important announcements related to the address (if any). This could be for a number of cases such as token migration (for contract address), suspicious activity, inactivity (for contract address), etc.
5. Public Name Tag: This shows the Name Tag that is attached to the address. The Name Tag would usually be linked to the address' official website.
6. Source Code: This shows the contract's source code has been verified to match its on-chain bytecode. Source code verification does not imply the contract is safe to interact with.
7. Owner: This label shows the owner of the address and clicking this label will direct you to a list of other addresses owned by the owner. Kindly take note that this label is usually placed for addresses and contracts associated to major exchanges, projects or public figures of public interest.
8. Public Label: This label shows the sector/industry/service that the address is in. Examples of other categories for the label are Exchange, Old Contract, DeFi, and Stablecoin. For the full list of all available labels, visit here.
9. Add Address to Watch List: By clicking this button, the address will be added into your personal watchlist. To fully explore this feature, please go the Watch List tab of your profile setting in which you can toggle turning on/off notification for ingoing and outgoing transactions of the address.
10. Additional Tools: Quick access for tools related to this token including:

a. Token Approvals: Contract addresses are not currently supported by the Token Approval tool.
b. Print Account Report: A printable summary of the address with all its important data and record will be prepared according to your selected range of time (with a maximum of 365 days range).
c. Validate Account Balance: Clicking this will open a new tab to a feature (called EthValidate) to validate the balance of the address against Infura, MyEtherWallet, Chainstack, and Cloudflare's nodes. You can also copy and paste other addresses into the EthValidate's input box.
d. Check Previous Balance: Clicking this will redirect you to a feature to check/lookup the last balance of the address at a custom specified time or block number.
e. Update Name Tag: This will open up a form to submit a Public Name Tag suggestion to us. If you think an address belongs to a public interest project, an exchange or any major organisation, submitting this form will help us identify the address and put a Public Name Tag to it accordingly for the information of other users.
f. Remove Name Tag: This will open up a form to submit a request for Removal of Public Name Tag. You would have to submit a verifiable proof that you are the contract owner for us to process the removal.
g. Submit Label: If you believe that the address belongs to a certain category or a specific industry, click here to submit your Public Label suggestion to us (Please refer here for a list of the labels that we use on our platform).

Also, clicking here will direct you to the Token's page where all on-chain and off-chain data of the token are available (kindly take note that off-chain data such as price, official website, social media, etc. are only available if the token creator has submitted them to us).
