Short answers: what the data is, where it comes from, and what it means.
What do I put in the box?
A wallet address — a long code that works like an account number. It looks like bc1qxy2kgdyg… or 1A1zP1… or 3J98t1… (Bitcoin), 0x71C765… (Ethereum), or rJWiym22… (XRP). Paste it in, hit PFLASH IT, and the system draws itself around that address.
Whose address can I put in?
Any address on a supported chain: a person's, a company's, a contract's, an agent's. The ledger is public, so nobody has to be asked. Run as many as you like; it's free every time.
Where do I find an address?
Block explorers show the addresses on every transaction. Wallet apps and exchanges list yours under “Deposit” or “Receive.” An AI agent that publishes its address works the same way. Copy and paste; don't retype.
Where does the data come from?
Public ledgers, read live: mempool.space (with blockchain.info as a backup) for Bitcoin, Blockscout for Ethereum and its USDT and USDC transfers, and public XRP Ledger nodes for XRP. Labels such as exchange names come from public attribution sources. A label is a claim about an address, not a verdict.
Is this safe? What do you take from me?
Nothing. Phantom Flash reads public blockchain records only. It never asks for a seed phrase, password, or private key, and it never touches a wallet. Reading a public ledger needs none of those, so don't type them anywhere.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Every scan, every planet, every hop is free. No account, no card.
What will I actually see?
Two views of the same data. Field view: the address as a sun, and every wallet it transacted with orbiting it, sized by how much money moved. Paper view: the same data as a written page — totals, every counterparty, every transaction — with a free PDF export you can download and keep.
What do the planets and the money bags mean?
Each planet is a wallet the address dealt with. Green means mostly money in, red means mostly money out, and size follows volume. The bags show a wallet's share of the observed first-hop traffic, not what that address holds.
How do I follow a hop?
Click a transaction in the table, or click a planet. Its path lights up and a Follow button appears. Follow it and the next system draws itself in place. Every hop you follow is added to the field.
What does the Commons store?
The Commons is the field’s record. It stores public data only: addresses, amounts, and timestamps. No person, no email, no device. Counts appear only as bands, never as exact numbers below five. Every scan and every hop charts a little more of the field for the next visitor.
What are the agents?
Some AI agents hold a key and sign declarations onto the XRP Ledger. When you paste an agent's address, Phantom Flash reads those declarations back and shows them on the page. The Agents page explains the format.
Which chains does it work with?
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the XRP Ledger, including the USDT and USDC stablecoins on Ethereum — which is how a lot of money travels these days.
It says “no activity” — did I do it wrong?
Probably not — many platforms hand out a fresh address for every deposit. Try a different address from the same source, or the wallet on the other side of a transaction. Addresses are case-sensitive: copy and paste, don't retype.
The dollar amounts — how are those calculated?
At today's market rate, live at the moment you scan. Stablecoins count at $1. So the totals show what the crypto is worth now, not what it was worth on the day it moved.
