Check it yourself

  1. Open the contract address on the chain’s official block explorer (link above).
  2. Go to the "Contract" tab, then "Read Contract" (or "Read as Proxy" if the explorer shows one).
  3. Find the read function listed above.
  4. Paste the wallet address you want to check and click "Query".
  5. `true` means that address is currently frozen or blacklisted.

That only tells you the current status. It doesn't tell you where the funds came from, whether the counterparties are compromised, or how likely a future freeze is. That is the gap FreezeRadar's wallet scan fills.

Read it programmatically

Node.js (ethers v6)

import { ethers } from "ethers";

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider("https://your-rpc-url");
const abi = ["function getBlackListStatus(address) view returns (bool)"];
const contract = new ethers.Contract(
  "0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7",
  abi,
  provider
);

const isFlagged = await contract.getBlackListStatus("0xWalletAddressToCheck");
console.log(isFlagged); // true or false
