See what anyone who gets your address learns, in 10 seconds.

Wallets guard keys, not identity. The moment you connect, a dApp's own code can send your address to analytics and ad companies. 0xRay watches every request, shows you exactly who got it, with proof, and blocks it in one click.

Same page. Different view.
