Checking MD5 of blockchain contracts
MD5 (technically called MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function whose main purpose is to verify that a file has been unaltered. Instead of confirming that two sets of data are identical by comparing the raw data, MD5 does this by producing a checksum on both sets and then comparing the checksums to verify that they’re the same.
How to get the MD5 of a contract?
- Go to the contract on Etherscan or Bscscan.
In our tutorial https://etherscan.io/address/0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2#code
2. Press Contract Tab
3. Press this icon
4. Go to https://www.md5hashgenerator.com/
This website generates md5 hash of a string.
5. Paste the code (Ctrl + V) to the input box
6.
7. Press Generate
8. Get the hash!
