Questions tagged [cross-chain-recovery]

should be used for questions relating to recovery of funds sent from one blockchain to a different blockchain by mistake, such as Bitcoin sent to a Bitcoin Cash address.

Recovery of such funds relies upon several factors, assuming the transaction has been confirmed, including generally:

  1. the receiving address being in a valid format for the sending blockchain
  2. having or getting access to the private key for the receiving address (this may be difficult, for 3rd party services)
