FAQ - Common Concerns
Q: Is it safe to enter my wallet address on TronScan?
A: Yes. Your public address is already public on the blockchain. Entering it into TronScan’s search bar is a read-only action and cannot compromise your funds.
Q: Why does a site asking for my "Seed Phrase" to check my balance?
A: WARNING: That is 100% a scam. A legitimate blockchain explorer like TronScan will never ask for your private keys or seed phrase.
Q: Can I see the sender's real-world identity?
A: No. TronScan shows wallet addresses (alphanumeric strings). Unless the owner has a “Public Tag,” the identity remains pseudonymous.
