I transferred USDT from my wallet to USDT contract

[huanvanto]

Due to negligence, I transferred my funds to the tether (usdt) contract. Can I get my money back? Has anyone had a similar situation as me?

You sure you copy pasted the right txid? Etherscan and Ethplorer aren't showing anything.

But yea, if you actually sent it to the contract, as far as I know your funds are gone. Unless you can actually Tether (the business).

The transaction hasn't been made on Ethereum blockchain. It has been made on Binance smart chain.

As already stated by mk4, no one has control over the tokens sent to a smart contract address and they are lost forever.

I'm feeling so sad. I took the contract of usdt and pasted it into the metamask to show the balance.  I copied the recipient's wallet address first, then copied the usdt contract.  and I pasted it in the recipient address.  There are no words to describe how I feel right now

Whoops. Saw the 0x and automatically assumed it was an Ethereum tx.

Welp, nothing really you can do right now can you, besides realizing that you can't be too careless when moving money in cryptocurrencies. Look at the bright side: that's a good amount of money, but probably not super life changing. Just make sure you don't make the same clumsy mistake. Best of luck.

you have two different address, one manged by private key and Smart contract address (no private key).

If the contract developer has added a function that enables it to re-send all the money that you sent, you may restore your money, but (AFAIK) this condition/function is not available in USDT smart contract , which means you have lost your money forever.

[rosenbauer02]

It is almost the same as exchanging from usdt to another usdt in different network much like binance and it's smart chain. Well, this should be a lesson learned. Just be careful next time and triple check.

Some may assume that it's ethereum just like you since bsc smart chain and other network like polygon have 0x at the start.

[pakhitheboss]

Nothing can be done now. Forget it and next time onwards do not be careless, as those are actually money that you were transferring. After seeing ox most of us will think of it as an Ethereum transaction, that is common. It is just we tend to forget the copied version of Ethereum known as the Binance smart chain.

Why did you even check the balance of USDT's contract address in your metamask? If you got the contract address from Etherscan, the balance is already there.

Anyway, this is another costly mistake. Well, the lesson is not that expensive, but a few hundred dollars is already a significant amount. I just hope it is not totally wasted and from now on you will check your transaction multiple times before confirming it.

[dansus021]

the money are gone when u transferred to contract, but like the other user says that ur tx id is not found.

i have same problem back month a go that my friend send me txid but the transcation is not found i dont know why but i think its because fee

[Yogee]

I made a similar mistake by sending ETH to an ERC20 token address on Shitbtc last time, and it was worth like $400

Thankfully the customer support could recover the funds but man, the fee was like more than 10%.

I think the fee was acceptable unless that's not what's on their terms and conditions but your case is different than the main post. Sending the token to their contract address is as good as burned.

You didn't read the other reply. Search it on bscscan https://bscscan.com/tx/0x57dce07a81e7dd0872b360782d051a216b1d414a67fcaa3b5a9f0c294f5498cd

That's probably because the transaction was never successful.

At that time, I had no other choice. After all, losing a portion was better than losing everything

[BayAngelo]

So sorry. we all made mistakes. i remember sending usdt token to ethereum wallet in a custodian wallet. i was told I will never get it back because it is coinbase own and I am only allowed to send ethereum to that address. i will never forget that day. it was so depressing and a sad day.my luck shined when uniswap did airdrop and I got over 3x the funds that I loss.

[khaled0111]

I am sorry to hear that and unfortunately there is nothing you can do to recover the lost money. Always double check all transaction information before clicking the send button.

It is almost the same as exchanging from usdt to another usdt in different network much like binance and it's smart chain.

No, it's not the same. When you mistakenly send tokens from erc20 to bep20 or vice versa, there is a chance to recover them if you own the private key for the receiving address (or the owner is willing to cooperate).

I can only imagine how you feel. I haven't been there and hope I don't too. The much, "you can't get it back'', 'it's lost forever', 'forget it' and replies of that nature coins up isn't much of the help you wanted but, the one you've got in this case and the sad truth with cryptos. One huge mistake and your most likely to sock it up and avoid making such mistakes again in the future. That's just what your left with now and at times, it doesn't end with the recipients address you copy as, a bugged device could always replace addreesee so, youve got a verifying job to do before transferring coins. Sock up this one and be careful in future transactions.

There is no way of how you can return your money. You were warned to be very careful all the time while working on the crypto market. Personally I am very afraid of losing my money by sending to a network or platform that doesn't support this token or for a wrong address that is why I do everything very carefully and slowly. You had better check all addresses, fees and networks at least twice.

[asus09]

Your fund gone when you sent USDT to USDT contract address and never can do again with your fund to get back, very sad bigger amount 385$ you sent to USDT contract address, ever I faced the same problem with you by sending coin BSC network to their contract address, but I ask help to their team and they return my coin back to my wallet, but I don't know with USDT and I think that stable coin and we don't know they have team or not.

[joniboini]

but I ask help to their team and they return my coin back to my wallet, but I don't know with USDT and I think that stable coin and we don't know they have team or not.

You mean the team has control over the smart contract or the address? It is quite dangerous if the team can simply execute a call to move tokens from one address to another. Even if OP can contact Tether, I doubt they'll help for such a "small" amount of money.

Your money has been permanently sitting on the contract's address and there's no way to get back your money. You must try to did the double check before try to send something.

Can I get my money back? Has anyone had a similar situation as me?

You can't get it back and im sorry for your lose. Keep in your mind to always check it first. The contract address would be similar like burn address and it will be impossible to recover your money. it has gone forever

I've been in a situation like this, unfortunately there is no other way when you have sent the coins/tokens you have to the wrong address.
this can only be a lesson so that before making a transaction, make sure correctly that the address you are going to is correct. if it's like this, no one can help you.
