Check the crypto address you copied from Telegram before you send.
Telegram is where many stablecoin, OTC, P2P, freelancer, and operator transfers begin. ZAFU helps verify that the address pasted into your wallet or exchange still matches the address recently copied from Telegram Web.
Why Telegram address checks matter
A common crypto operations workflow starts with a counterparty sending an address in Telegram. The next step is usually a browser wallet, exchange withdrawal form, or dapp. That copy-to-paste gap is where clipboard hijackers, malicious extensions, and manual mistakes can redirect funds.
How the Telegram Web check works
Copy an address from Telegram Web
ZAFU detects address-shaped copy events on web.telegram.org and stores recent source evidence locally.
Paste into a wallet, exchange, or dapp
The extension checks the pasted address before the destination field accepts it.
Review the result
If the pasted address differs from the Telegram-copied address, ZAFU shows a Possible Clipboard Mismatch review with the full address comparison.
What ZAFU checks and what it cannot know
ZAFU can check
- Copied address vs pasted address.
- Telegram Web source evidence age.
- Full segmented recipient address.
- Known warning signals where supported.
- Your local trusted contacts and protected wallets.
ZAFU cannot prove
- That the Telegram sender is the real counterparty.
- That a new unknown address is risk-free.
- That a group, bot, or account has not been compromised.
- That every chain-specific explorer signal is available.

FAQ
Does ZAFU scan Telegram chats?
No. ZAFU stores recent address-only copy context locally. It does not store chat text, sender identity, group names, message IDs, URLs, or full clipboard history.
Does this work for TRON and USDT TRC-20?
Yes. v1.1.7 supports local TRON address validation and copy-vs-paste comparison in the extension. The public checker can validate TRON format and community warnings, but does not query Tronscan.
What should I do if ZAFU shows a mismatch?
Cancel the paste, re-copy the address from the intended source, compare the full address with your counterparty through a second channel, and inspect your browser extensions and device for malware.
