# Pasting a contract address

# Pasting a contract address

Paste a contract address or a recognised link and the bot replies with the coin's card. There is no scanner command.

## How to use multi-chain scanner

- The scanner only answers when it's switched on for the bot. It's off by default.
- Message text and photo captions are both scanned, including hidden links — a word hyperlinked with no visible URL.
- An image-generation trigger word in the same message still produces an image.
- The card is sent as a reply to your message, without a notification.

> **Never scanned**
>
> A message starting with `/` is never scanned.

## Addresses that don't resolve

> **No reply at all**
>
> An address or link that doesn't resolve to a token gets no reply. A wallet address, a dead pair link and an unlisted token all fail the same way.

## No quantity caps

- Every address in a message gets its own card, in the order it appears.
