Begin with the address and network

Use the full 0x address and select Ethereum. This version of Skooby queries Ethereum mainnet. The same address-shaped string may also appear on other EVM networks, so the address alone is not enough to identify where a payment happened.

Write down the network from the original withdrawal or sending record before you scan. If you are checking a transfer from an exchange, its withdrawal network is a better starting point than the coin’s ticker.

Turn a scan into a useful record

Read the scope notice next to the balance. Skooby currently shows native ETH, while ERC-20 tokens, NFTs, DeFi positions, and complete internal-call history are outside this scan. The explorer link gives you a next step when you need those other views.

  1. Paste the public address into Investigate and select Scan wallet.
  2. Use the date and direction filters to narrow the loaded movements.
  3. Open a transaction to inspect its hash, fee, block, and sender or recipient addresses.
  4. Choose Verify on explorer to compare the same transaction in Etherscan.
  5. Export the filtered rows if you need a copy of this particular view.

Explain gaps before making a conclusion

No rows in a filtered view means no matching rows in the data that was loaded. It does not prove that the address never transacted. Remove filters, check the recent-window notice, and inspect the full explorer history.

A token transfer can also happen without the native ETH movement you expected to see. Ethereum’s token documentation describes ERC-20 as a separate contract interface. For token questions, identify the contract and the network, then use a token-aware explorer view.

WORKING EXAMPLE

If you expected USDC but searched only the ETH timeline, record the result as “native ETH checked; token history still to review.” Do not label the payment missing yet.
