On-chain transfers lost 220k U by entering the wrong amount and can't be recovered!


Recently, I saw two mistakes in on-chain transfer operations,
leading to huge losses, regret is too late,
Wallet usage and on-chain transfers both have thresholds,
Improper operation can cause significant losses,
and there is no way to recover them.
When a player transferred to someone else,
originally intended to send 22,000 U, but
accidentally added an extra zero and sent 220,000 U,
After the transfer succeeded, it couldn't be recovered,
The recipient is overseas,
Facing a lucky break from the sky, they might not return it,
Now I can't contact the other party, can't intercept or recover,
There is no effective method at all.
If the other party doesn't voluntarily refund,
you can only accept bad luck,
This lesson is worth over 220k RMB.
Another player, during a transfer,
first sent a small amount, which arrived successfully,
When entering 60,000 U the second time,
they didn't check carefully and chose the most recent address,
but the recipient's wallet didn't receive the funds for a long time,
Careful verification revealed it wasn't the address from the first transfer,
but an address previously used to send to someone else,
Fortunately, the owner of that address is known,
The other party is trustworthy and returned the 60,000 U,
It was a close call,
avoiding a loss of 400k yuan.
If the other party doesn't return it, there's nothing you can do.
Blockchain is decentralized and anonymous,
Entering the wrong address or transferring on the wrong network, almost no way to recover,
If the other party is someone you know,
whether they will return depends on their character and whether they are short of money at the moment,
Returning is their conscience; not returning is the tuition fee you pay,
Don't blame others,
Operators must pay for their mistakes.
When transferring on-chain, also pay attention to choosing the correct network,
For example, transferring out from the ETH network can only be received on the ETH network,
TRON, SOL, and other networks won't receive it,
The sending and receiving networks must be the same,
There are many public chains and Layer 2 solutions,
such as common ones like BTC, ETH, BSC, TRX, APT, ARB, TON, etc.,
If you transfer on the wrong network,
your wallet might also export to other networks,
platform addresses may not assist.
On-chain usage also requires the corresponding network tokens for GAS,
Without the appropriate tokens, the wallet can't be used;
Cross-network transfers require cross-chain platforms,
which also have thresholds and fees.
Additionally, when downloading wallet apps,
be sure to download from official sources,
do not disclose wallet mnemonic phrases, etc.,
Your key, your money.
Keep your wallet mnemonic phrases safe; they are the key to your assets.
First learn how to use the wallet,
to avoid regretting paying tuition fees later.
On-chain transfers, once confirmed, there's no turning back,
Be extremely cautious when sending!
