The Tale of the Mistyped Wallet Address đđđ
Rajesh was thrilled. He had just made a tidy profit on his crypto trades and wanted to surprise his best friend, Arjun, with a gift of 1 BNB to celebrate.
Arjun had been helping Rajesh learn crypto trading, so Rajesh decided to send the BNB as a thank-you. Without thinking twice, Rajesh quickly copied Arjunâs wallet address from an old chat and pasted it into the transaction field on Binance.
Excited to see Arjunâs reaction, Rajesh hit âSendâ without double-checking the address. âDone! Check your wallet, bro!â
A few moments passed. Arjun replied, âUh⊠thereâs nothing here.â
Rajeshâs heart sank. He opened the transaction record to discover his worst nightmare: he had accidentally sent the BNB to a random wallet address one digit off. He had pasted the wrong address!
Panicking, Rajesh spent the next hour trying to figure out how to reverse the transaction. When he realized crypto transactions were irreversible, he had to break the news to Arjun.
âBro,â Rajesh said, sheepishly, âI just donated 1 BNB to some random stranger⊠or worse, a dead wallet.â
Arjun laughed. âLooks like you just made someoneâs day. Next time, double-check, man. Itâs called DeFi, not DeFree-for-all!â
From that day on, Rajesh became the self-proclaimed king of âCheck Twice, Click Once.â He even made it his trading mantra: âIf youâre fast, youâll lose cash!â
Moral of the story: Always double-check the recipientâs wallet address before sending crypto. One small mistake could cost you big!
