I sent crypto to the wrong address. How can I get it back?

Unfortunately due to the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency protocols, sending cryptocurrency to the wrong address can neither be cancelled nor received once it has been initiated.

 

In this case, it would be necessary for you to contact the receiving party and ask for their cooperation in returning your cryptocurrency. If you, however, do not know the owner of the wallet address, there is no possible action you can take to retrieve the cryptocurrency.

 

It is absolutely vital to exercise caution when sending cryptocurrencies. We strongly recommend that you double-check the address you are sending cryptocurrency to and that the address exactly matches the address of the receive before sending.

 

As a precaution, you could also try sending a test amount of cryptocurrency to the receiver to ensure you have all the correct information.
