Contract addresses can be cross-referenced to the blockchain specific block explorer to verify activity. For example, we can see that Ethereum user 0xngmi bridged some 500 USDC tokens via Hopper bridge [https://etherscan.io/tx/0x76a7dd6f3a666b7332a45d5660c0afe58a3e1061479f059675d9b1ac14e85000 using etherscan.] Contract addresses are a fundamental part of what makes DeFi so transparent and verifiable. The ability to simply [https://etherscan.io/address/0x165cd37b4c644c2921454429e7f9358d18a45e14 check how many dollars Ukraine has received] to their wallet via smart contracts is what separates DeFi from the traditional finance world.
