Many people think address poisoning is simple, but this is what really matters:
Checking only the beginning and end of an address won't protect you from address poisoning, because it's not difficult to generate addresses with the same first and last few characters.
Once an on-chain transfer is confirmed, it can't be reversed. Assets sent to a similar-looking address usually can't be recovered.
Before making a payment, compare the entire address. Don't just check the first and last few characters—make sure the characters in the middle match too.
Addresses that frequently transfer stablecoins and $ETH are more likely to be targeted by address poisoning.
