- Dec 16, 2021 · 3 years agoYes, AVAX addresses are case-sensitive. This means that using uppercase or lowercase letters in the address can result in different addresses. It is important to double-check the case of the address before sending any transactions to ensure they are going to the intended recipient. Failure to do so may result in the loss of funds. Always copy and paste the address or use a QR code to avoid any manual input errors.
- Dec 16, 2021 · 3 years agoAbsolutely! AVAX addresses are case-sensitive, so you need to be careful when entering the address to avoid any mistakes. Even a single letter in the wrong case can lead to the funds being sent to the wrong address. It's always a good practice to double-check the address before confirming the transaction. One way to minimize the risk of errors is to use the copy and paste function instead of manually typing the address.
- Dec 16, 2021 · 3 years agoYes, AVAX addresses are indeed case-sensitive. This means that '0xabc' and '0xABC' would be considered two different addresses. It is crucial to pay attention to the case when inputting or sharing an AVAX address. A small mistake in the case can result in the funds being sent to the wrong address, and once the transaction is confirmed, it is irreversible. To ensure the accuracy of AVAX addresses, it is recommended to use the copy and paste function or scan QR codes when dealing with transactions.
