Bitcoin transactions cannot be canceled or reversed once they are sent. This is due to the decentralized and irreversible nature of the Bitcoin network.
If you sent bitcoin to the wrong address
- If you know the recipient, contact them and ask if they can return the funds
- If you do not know the recipient, the bitcoin cannot be recovered
Tips to help avoid this in the future
- 💡Tip: Always double-check the address before sending bitcoin.
- 💡Tip: Consider sending a small test transaction first to confirm the address is correct.
