A little while ago, I sent some USDC to a friend at a wallet address he’d just switched to. After copying and pasting the address, I checked the first and last few characters three times, but still didn’t dare hit send right away. I sent a small amount first, waited for him to confirm he’d received it, and only then sent the rest.
It wasn’t that I didn’t trust him. It’s just that on-chain transfers have no undo button. Get one character of the address wrong, and who knows where the money will end up. Since then, I’ve made it a habit: whenever I send money to a new address for the first time, no matter how well I know the person, I send a small test amount first and wait for confirmation before sending the bulk of it. Paying one extra transaction fee buys me peace of mind—and saves me from crawling out of bed in the middle of the night to dig through transaction records.
Some friends say I’m being too cautious. They say addresses are copied and pasted, so there’s no way to get them wrong. When you send money to a new address, do you send a small test amount first, or send it all at once?
