Prove which donation address is official

Fundraisers attract copycats within hours. WalletOrigin ties your donation wallets to the domain donors already recognise, so a fake address can be spotted instead of funded.

The risk

Copycat appeals collect real money

A donation address spreads far beyond your own channels — screenshots, reposts, forums. Every hop is a chance for someone to substitute their own wallet, and donors have no way to check.

  • Cloned campaign pages on lookalike domains.
  • Reposted appeals where only the address has been changed.
  • Impersonation accounts replying under your announcements.
A concrete example

An emergency appeal shared across social platforms

You post an appeal with a wallet address. Within a day, the same text circulates with a different address attached.

  1. 01

    You verify your domain and sign the donation wallet before publishing the appeal.

  2. 02

    Every post points to your verified entry rather than a bare address.

  3. 03

    A donor checks the address they were sent; the copy resolves to nothing and the donation is not lost.

What the proof guarantees

Checkable by anyone

  • The donation address is cryptographically linked to your organisation's domain.
  • Anyone can verify it without an account or an API key.
  • The public directory shows your domain and how many wallets you verified, never the addresses themselves.
  • You can add, rotate, or remove wallets as your campaign changes.
