If you send cryptocurrency to the wrong address or accidentally send too much to an unintended recipient, there’s a high chance that the funds are lost permanently. There’s usually no way to recover funds once they’ve been confirmed on the blockchain.
That’s why it’s extremely important to copy the entire string of characters of the address carefully and to double-check both the address and the amount before sending any payment.
Always verify that the first and last few characters of the address match exactly with the one you intend to send to or receive from.
Using QR codes or the Lightning Network (where supported) can reduce the risk of errors, but it’s still crucial to verify that the address scanned or pasted is correct before finalizing a transaction.
