Introduction
How to fix the Invalid Address error when sending XDC coins from MyEtherWallet is covered in this article.
The Not ETH network error that results from this problem also affects MetaMask.
Solution
Both these errors can be solved by replacing the prefix "xdc" with "0x" in the destination address.
For example:
xdc3d49D8A92274C5C7be99B331E05f3851eB51D234
becomes
0x3d49D8A92274C5C7be99B331E05f3851eB51D234
This will make it possible for MetaMask and MyEtherWallet to comprehend the destination address and send your coins on the XDC Network to the appropriate account without any problems.
We strongly advise sending a small test XDC amount first if this is the first time you are encountering this problem.

Thanks but how do you send XDC from wallet.xinfin.network/#/? When you put in the EVM address that begins “0x” it automatically changes it to one that begins “XDC”. I did three small payments and now I want to try to recover the money but I can’t seem to manage it. It doesn’t seem to be any way to change this. Any suggestions?
Could you send the transaction hashes?
Sure, here is one:
0xbde8da31029c879124e3135aaaa64bdcd1aac69da03da60dc97e4c3c49a167bd
Do you know if there’s any way that I can actually edit the address during the “send” process using this wallet? It seems strange that the address cannot be edited.
Many thanks for your help.
Here’s another one:
0x3bc014bc217344efe25c6313c2fe1be29aeacc1f2e6836bd6d23dbc0e8b96826
This is one I sent from X to my Nano Ledger which signed the txn.
0x28ae76feff9f028d427c05541da22737f87e28067f15a84e00d0a19bace588b0
Didn’t arrive, same as the others probably because I cannot edit the mandatory address (provided on wallet.xinfin.network) away from an XDC one to an EVM one e.g. beginning with “0x”.
It’s getting frustrating now :-)
Thank you for reporting the issue, Hopefully the issue has been resolved.
If the issue is still persist, then I would suggest you to raise the same issue on XDC Dev separately with the description.
