I've sent my funds to XYZ other chain account accidentally, and I want to recover the funds on Aptos

Note and WARNING

No one will send you an email address to recover your funds, people will not ask you to DM them, and they will not ask you to message them otherwise. Please be wary of scammers on the forum.

Describe your question in detail.

Say I've sent the wrong funds (APT, USDC, USDT, etc.) to another chain's address, whether it is one of the following:

• EVM address
• Sui address
• Public Key (and not an address I control on Aptos)
• Private Key (and not an address I control on Aptos)
• Other address that you do not control the private key for on Aptos

Answer

This means I cannot recover the funds unfortunately, and there is no way to recover the funds. Please be careful in where you send your funds, and verify that it is an address on the chain that you control.

All of these have different address schemes, and unfortunately are not compatible.

Examples

Missing the last character in an address

The below are different addresses.

• 0x131436f7fb0213b4e0460822f858e5385a086ea992bca58ee78784e858879610
• 0x131436f7fb0213b4e0460822f858e5385a086ea992bca58ee78784e85887961

The first one maps to address 0x131436f7fb0213b4e0460822f858e5385a086ea992bca58ee78784e858879610.

The second one maps to address 0x0131436f7fb0213b4e0460822f858e5385a086ea992bca58ee78784e85887961
