Common questions

Can a BNB Smart Chain address be distinguished from Ethereum by format?

No. Both use the same 0x EVM address structure. The selected network, chain ID, and on-chain state must be checked separately.

Are BEP-2 addresses still active receiving addresses?

BNB Beacon Chain was shut down in December 2024. HexoRama retains BEP-2 decoding for historical inspection, not as confirmation that the retired network can receive funds.
