Google now allows users to search wallet balances on the Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon, and Fantom blockchains. When you enter your wallet address, the search results will show you the remaining token balance in your wallet for each network and when the balance was last updated.
“The balance shows only the native tokens of each network. The last updated timestamp shows the balance at the time of the last external transaction. Updates are not immediate,” Google noted in its search results.
Earlier this month, Google Search results are starting to appear. Wallet balance for users searching for Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domains. ENS provides readable domain names for Ethereum wallet addresses, such as Vitalik.eth, the domain name of Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin.
This development expands on Google’s initial support for Ethereum wallet balance search, launched last May, which allowed users to search for specific public addresses and view wallet balances directly in the search results.
Google did not immediately respond to The Block’s request for more information.
