FAQs

What is this site?

This site looks up the OpenAlias record on a domain, extracts the cryptocurrency address it points to, and turns it into a payment URI and scannable QR code, all in your browser.

What is OpenAlias?

OpenAlias is a DNS TXT record that maps a human-friendly name (like [email protected]) to a cryptocurrency address plus optional metadata such as a recipient name. Learn more in the OpenAlias implementation guide.

Which coins are supported?

Monero, Bitcoin, and Litecoin get fully standard payment URIs. Other OpenAlias assets are still resolved and shown, using a best-effort URI format that not every wallet will recognize.

I already have the address. Can I just make a QR?

Yes. Use the Crypto Payment QR Generator to build a payment URI and QR from an address you already have, with no DNS lookup.

Should I trust the resolved address?

OpenAlias relies on DNSSEC for integrity. This tool reports whether the record was DNSSEC-authenticated. If it was not, be cautious, as the result could have been tampered with in transit. You can also inspect a domain's records with the OpenAlias checker.

Do you log the addresses I look up?

No. This site is hosted on GitHub Pages and runs entirely client-side. The DNS lookup is sent directly from your browser to the chosen resolver (Cloudflare or Google), which may log it per their policies; nothing is sent to this site.

Is this site open source?

Yes! You can find the full source code on GitHub. QR codes are rendered with the open-source qrcode-generator library (MIT), self-hosted on this site.
