Why Security Is Important
Claiming a Bitcoin fork often involves proving ownership of a Bitcoin address. Because of this, scammers frequently create fake websites, fake wallets, and fake support channels to steal wallet credentials.
Before beginning the ECX claim process, take a moment to verify that you are using the official Claim eCash website and that you understand each step of the claim process.

Why the ECX Claim Checker Is Safe
The ECX Claim Checker only requires a public Bitcoin address. A public Bitcoin address cannot be used to spend your Bitcoin or access your wallet. It is intended solely to check your eligibility and estimated ECX allocation.
