  One unconventional method to check the balance of a cryptocurrency wallet without making a transaction is by using a paper wallet. Paper wallets are physical copies of your wallet's public and private keys. By scanning the QR code of the public key with a blockchain explorer app, you can view the balance associated with that wallet without actually making a transaction.
