Address Poisoning: The Crypto Trap Hiding in Your Wallet History

Address poisoning seeds a lookalike address into your transaction history so you copy the wrong one.

Wallets hide the middle of an address, so a scam address can match the first and last few characters perfectly.

Crypto transfers are final: no bank, no 1930 helpline, and no court can reverse an on-chain mistake.

USDT sent on the wrong network is sometimes recoverable from an exchange, but lost for good on a wallet that doesn't support that chain.

Always send a small test amount first, verify the full address, and never copy a wallet address from past transactions.
