Crypto Address Validator
A utility for identifying and validating cryptocurrency address formats
Overview
Crypto Address Validator is a Java-based forensic utility designed for law enforcement, investigators, and crypto users to ensure transaction integrity and verify crypto addresses quickly and accurately.
It validates address formats, verifies embedded checksum values, confirms cryptographic curve validity, and checks real-time balances for supported addresses, including native blockchain cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether, as well as common tokens such as USDT and USDC.
Supported blockchains include Bitcoin (WIF encoded private keys, P2PKH, P2WPKH, and P2TR addresses), Ethereum, Tron, Ripple, and Solana.

Validation Details
This tool performs a series of validation checks tailored to each address type and format:
- Bitcoin WIF Encoded Private Key: Checks the format and validates the checksum using double SHA-256 hashing to identify WIF encoded private keys.
- Bitcoin Compressed Public Key: Ensures the key is properly formatted, derives the y coordinate from the included x coordinate, and verifies that the derived (x, y) point lies on the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
- Bitcoin Uncompressed Public Key: Validates the format and confirms the included (x, y) coordinate pair is on the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
- Bitcoin P2PKH (Pay to Public Key Hash) Address: Validates the address format and the checksum via double SHA-256 hash.
- Bitcoin Bech32 P2WPKH (Pay to Witness Public Key Hash) Address: Uses Bech32 encoding rules and checksum calculated using bitwise operations (no hashing involved).
- Bitcoin Bech32m P2TR (Pay to Taproot) Address: Uses Bech32m encoding with a checksum derived through bitshifting logic and integrity checks (no hashing involved).
- Ethereum Address: Verifies address format and checks mixed-case capitalization checksum using Keccak-256 hash. If the address fails capitalization checksum, it corrects the capitalization using the checksum algorithm.
- Tron Address: Ensures proper base58 encoding and length, and validates checksum using double SHA-256 hashing.
- Ripple Address: Checks the format and verifies the checksum using double SHA-256.
- Solana Address: Validates base58-encoded format and confirms the key is on the Ed25519 elliptic curve. Returns as valid regardless of whether the point is on the curve because Solana uses cryptographically valid points on the curve for user accounts with signature authority and off the curve points for program derived addresses.
