Transitioning to Contract Deployer on Etherscan
When searching for a specific Ethereum smart contract on Etherscan, it is common to come across an unfamiliar address. Fortunately, there are several ways to find the owner of the contract deployer, making it easier to understand their roles and responsibilities.
Step 1. Open Etherscan

The Contract Details section will display detailed information about the contract you selected, including the address of its owner. By examining this information, you can determine who is responsible for deploying the contract and what their role might be.
Identifying the Deployer

However, if you expand the “Deployers” tab on the contract details page, you will see a list of people who have deployed contracts similar to 0x6cfa7561bbf940ab4b5c0507d4c9e45c68552b1b
