Check the network first
Crypto transfers are network-specific. Confirm the asset, recipient address, and chain before sending. A valid address on one network can be wrong for another transfer, and sending on the wrong network can cause permanent loss.
Verify the recipient address
Copy the full address rather than typing it, and confirm the first and last characters match what the recipient shared. Beware of clipboard malware that swaps addresses. When possible, send a small test amount first for a large or first-time transfer.
Use QR scanning carefully
Camera access helps scan QR codes for wallet addresses and wallet connections. Always review the destination shown after scanning before approving a transfer, since a QR code is just another way to enter an address.
Understand transaction status
After sending, the transaction moves from pending to confirmed. Pending transactions can be caused by network congestion, low fees, or indexing delays. Keep the transaction hash available so you or support can look it up on an explorer.
