A regex to search for would be even better Smiley

Don't hate me for using AI.  Sad

^(?:0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$|
   [13][a-km-zA-HJ-NP-Z1-9]{25,34}$|
   bc1[a-zA-HJ-NP-Z0-9]{25,90}$|
   [LM3][a-km-zA-HJ-NP-Z1-9]{25,34}$|
   r[0-9a-zA-Z]{24,34}$|
   (?:bitcoincash:)?(q|p)[a-z0-9]{41}$|
   X[1-9A-HJ-NP-Za-km-z]{33}$|
   D{1}[5-9A-HJ-NP-U]{25,34}$)

would work with Bitcoin Legacy, SegWit, Bech32, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, BCH and Monero.

This is great.

To reduce the workload, I would only include the following networks:

 - Bitcoin
 - Any network whose addresses start with "0x" (Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Polygon, etc.)
 - TRON

That covers 99.9% of contests, giveaways, bounties and signature campaigns.

Some block explorers allow you to have private address tags. To give you an idea of the popularity of each network, I have the following # of tagged addresses in each block explorer:

bscscan - 1105 addresses
etherscan - 486 addresses
tronscan - 42 addresses
