Contract HQ — Hedera Smart Contract Inspector

Inspect any Hedera EVM contract: proxy pattern, admin keys, bytecode, event logs, read-only calls and HTS precompile usage — read straight from the Mirror Node.

The facts that matter before you interact

Whether a contract is upgradeable, who controls the admin key, how much it holds and what it emits are the things that decide risk. Contract HQ surfaces them first instead of burying them in a block explorer tab.

Read-only by design

View functions can be simulated against live state without a wallet. Nothing on the page signs or sends a transaction, so inspecting a contract never puts funds at risk.

Frequently asked questions

How do I inspect a Hedera smart contract?

Paste a contract ID (0.0.x) or its 0x EVM address. Contract HQ reads the bytecode, the admin key, the balance and the creation record from the Mirror Node, then shows what the contract can actually do.

What does proxy detection tell me?

Many Hedera contracts are upgradeable proxies. The inspector recognises the common proxy patterns and shows whether the logic behind the address can be swapped — the single most important fact about a contract you are about to trust.

Can I call a contract function without a wallet?

Yes, for read-only calls. The simulator executes view functions against current chain state and returns the result without signing anything. State-changing calls require a wallet and are not sent from here.

What are Hedera HTS precompiles?

Hedera exposes its native token service to EVM contracts through a fixed precompile address (0x167). The inspector flags contracts that use it, because those contracts can mint, burn, freeze or wipe HTS tokens directly.
