Frequently asked questions

Quick doubts, direct answers.

If your question isn't here, use the feedback form inside any analysis.

Does Inception replace my bank or an exchange?

No. Inception doesn't hold, send or exchange money: it only analyzes a transaction or address that already exists on the blockchain and returns a risk verdict. You still receive and move the funds yourself, in your own wallet or exchange.

Do I need to create an account to use it?

No. Just paste the hash, the address, or the receipt link. No sign-up, no login.

Do you store my personal data?

We don't ask for any personal data to analyze a payment. If you use the feedback form, the email you provide is only used to confirm that your message was sent.

Does it work with any cryptocurrency?

We cover 8 major blockchains: Tron, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain (BSC), Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism. Our official registry tracks over 180 stablecoin and digital currency issuances (such as USDT, USDC, USDS, BRLA, and BRZ) across a database of more than 16,500 mapped tokens and contracts, with real-time on-chain decimal verification and liquidity checks.

What is the payment comparison tool (/compare)?

Inception's comparison tool audits two receipts or payment intents side-by-side. It verifies whether both operations use the same network, ensures tokens are not counterfeit clones, and verifies that received amounts match agreed values before you deliver goods or services.

How does token and currency search work?

You can look up any crypto asset by ticker symbol (e.g., BRLA, USDT, PYUSD) or smart contract address. Inception resolves the asset against audited registries, checking live prices and trading liquidity across centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges.

How long does the analysis take?

Analyzing a single transaction takes a few seconds. Analyzing an address's full history may take a bit longer, with a progress bar tracking it in real time.

What does it mean when the result is "needs attention"?

It means we found something that deserves extra caution, but not necessarily a confirmed scam, such as a very new address or one without enough history. We recommend double-checking before proceeding.

Is it really free?

Yes, for now analyzing a payment on Inception is free. It's worth taking advantage of while that lasts.

I disagree with the analysis result, what do I do?

Every analysis includes a feedback form. Your note is recorded and used to review and improve our evaluation criteria.

Still unsure? Try it with a real payment or compare two receipts.
