How Wallet Match works
A short tour of the resolver pipeline, confidence tiers and credit settlement.
The resolver pipeline
For every Twitter handle we run a layered set of resolvers in order from cheapest to most expensive, short-circuiting as soon as we find a high-confidence match:
- Local DB — our shared
wallet_matchestable from previous scans. - web3.bio — aggregates ENS, Farcaster, Lens, Ethereum addresses.
- Neynar — Farcaster connected addresses, verified Twitter accounts.
- ENS subgraph —
com.twittertext record owners. - Bio / URL parse — scans bio, display name, location, URL and pinned tweet for
0x…,.eth,.base.eth,.soladdresses. - OpenSea — link verification for users who added their handle on OpenSea.
Confidence tiers
- Verified — one of the resolvers returned an explicit verified link (ENS text record, Farcaster verification, Neynar verified Twitter). We trust these by default.
- Likely — match found by parsing or a single unverified source. Shown but flagged amber. Two independent likely sources automatically promote to verified.
- Community — three user confirms auto-promotes a match to verified; two rejects hide it.
Credit settlement
When a scan starts, we reserve the estimated credits up front. As each handle resolves, we debit the real cost and refund the difference if we served it from cache. If a scan runs out of credits mid-flight, the remaining resolves pause until you top up — nothing is lost.
FAQ
- Are my scan results private?
- The list of handles you scanned is. The resolved matches themselves enrich the shared
wallet_matchescache — that's what keeps repeat lookups free. - Can I request data deletion?
- Yes — email support. We'll remove your scans, ledger history and annotations on request within 30 days.
- Do I need a crypto wallet to pay?
- No — we use NOWPayments invoices, which generate a deposit address for a coin of your choice. Send funds from any exchange or wallet. No wallet connect required.
- What happens when a match is wrong?
- Click the thumb-down on the match — two community rejects hide it from everyone's scans. Thumb-up similarly promotes accurate matches.
