Check Your Eligibility Before the Snapshot

Why Check Your Eligibility Early?

Preparing before the Bitcoin snapshot can save time and reduce confusion later.

By checking your Bitcoin addresses in advance, you can:

• confirm which addresses you control;
• identify addresses that may qualify for an ECX allocation;
• prepare the correct wallet for the claim process;
• review wallet-specific instructions before the snapshot.

Checking early also gives you time to resolve wallet access issues, organize backups, and read the relevant guides.

Who May Be Eligible?

In general, Bitcoin addresses holding BTC at the official snapshot block may qualify for an ECX allocation, subject to the official distribution rules.

Eligibility depends on several factors, including:

• ownership of the Bitcoin address;
• Bitcoin balance at the snapshot;
• the official ECX allocation rules.

Final eligibility is determined using the official snapshot data.

Use the ECX Claim Checker

The easiest way to verify an address is with the Official ECX Claim Checker.

The checker allows you to:

• verify a public Bitcoin address;
• view its eligibility status;
• see the estimated ECX allocation (when available);
• repeat the process for multiple addresses.

The checker works entirely with public blockchain data.

What Information Do You Need?

To use the checker, you only need:

✅ Your public Bitcoin address.

Nothing else is required.

The ECX Claim Checker never asks for:

• Private Keys
• Recovery Phrases
• Wallet Passwords
• Hardware Wallet PINs

If any website requests this information while claiming to perform an eligibility check, do not proceed and verify that you are using the official Claim eCash website.

Can I Check More Than One Address?

Yes.

Many Bitcoin holders manage multiple addresses across one or more wallets.

The ECX Claim Checker allows you to verify each address individually, making it easier to understand your overall eligibility before the claim period begins.

What Happens If My Address Is Eligible?

If the checker indicates that an address is eligible, the next step is to complete the official ECX claim process.

Depending on your wallet, ownership verification may require:

• a Private Key; or
• a Recovery Phrase (Mnemonic).

The appropriate method depends on the wallet you used to store your Bitcoin at the time of the snapshot.

Detailed instructions are available in the Claim Center.

• confirm access to your wallet;
• securely back up your Recovery Phrase or Private Key;
• identify which wallet you will use during the claim process;
• read the wallet-specific instructions;

Good preparation now can make the claim process much smoother later.

Security Reminder

Remember:

The ECX Claim Checker only works with public Bitcoin addresses.

into an eligibility checker.

Only the official Claim Tool may require ownership verification as part of the claim process.
