Hello:
I want to know some information about the native chain for BCH.
I can see in some exchanges, the deposit address of BCH have the following format.
Example: bitcoincash:qr7vry6mpswltull0stftshq3f960e9gqqg0q07n8x
I think it is native BCH chain, right?
But other exchanges have the deposit address for BCH, like the following:

9PtpMJ6TdfUWmzfwz3Np19o5n7t7F2Q1DFGsK6yi5wiv
18c16hUmzoeR1DVX563C7Nm6Uw8H5VgdKw
I want to know if all the above deposit addresses are in BCH native chain?
Do you have something like ether scan, so I can check if the addresses are in BCH chain?
Thanks,

The address that starts with "9" is not a BCH address. I do not know what it is.

The addresses that start with "1" are shared addresses that could be either BCH or BTC. BCH generally discourages use of these "legacy" addresses as people can deposit the wrong coin into them depending on exchange setup, making operations more complicated.

The addresses that start with "bitcoincash:" or "qxxx..." are BCH specific addresses and are generally safe to use as is.
