Scan an X profile
This is the default mode and the reason most people install LENS. Open a profile and the verdict appears, you do nothing.
How it works
When you land on an x.com profile, LENS reads the bio for the things that map to an identity on-chain: a wallet address, a token contract, or a GitHub handle. It resolves whichever it finds to the deployer behind it, runs the full set of checks, and injects the verdict panel under the bio, all in about a second.
Because the read is automatic, you get the same scrutiny on every profile without ever deciding to investigate. The check you would normally skip happens by default.
Case-insensitive matching
Addresses get written into bios in all sorts of formats, fully checksummed, all lowercase, or somewhere in between. LENS matches them case-insensitively, so a checksummed address and its lowercase form resolve to the exact same dev. This sounds small, but a single mismatched character used to be the difference between a correct verdict and a false "not found".
You can also scan a handle directly through the API with ?username=, which resolves the bio to a wallet first, then runs the same checks the extension does.
