Category

When searching for specific categories, use “;;” to narrow down and specify your potential query of category. E.g. If you are querying addresses related to NFTs, and possible hacking, the search query would be: “nft ;; hackers” (without the quotation marks).

Don’t forget to leave spaces before, and after the semicolons.

While every attempt has been made to standardize categorization, please note there currently exists no standardized definitions for many categories and tags are provided on a “best efforts” basis. Many addresses, whether contract or wallet, fall into several categories separated by semicolons.
