How to Prove Your Ethereum (ETH) Balance Without Showing Your Wallet
Need to show that you hold Ethereum? Ethereum wallets often hold tokens and NFTs as well as ETH, so a public address shows far more than a balance. Here is how to prove a ETH balance and keep the wallet address private.
Why ETH holders get asked for proof
Whenever ETH is part of a deal, the other side wants to know the money is real. The usual options are a screenshot, which can be edited, or a wallet address, which reveals everything the wallet has done.
A receipt gives a third option: a verified balance with the address left out.
Making a ETH proof on pof.lol
- Go to pof.lol and choose ETH.
- Send 10¢ worth of ETH from the wallet you want to prove.
- Copy the receipt link and share it.
What the receipt shows
The receipt shows your name, the verified balance, the coin and the date it was checked. It does not show the wallet address.
Good habits
Prove from the wallet that actually holds the ETH, not from a different one.
Make a fresh proof right before a deal if the date matters.
Never share a seed phrase or private key. A proof does not need them.
The fine print
A pof.lol receipt is a snapshot of the balance at the moment you made the proof. It is not a live balance and it does not promise the funds are still there later.
FAQ
