[Solved]Sent My XDC for a wrong address. Who can help me?

I sent my XDC tokens to a wrong address, I should have put 0x in the front of the address xdc, but I put 0x in the place of xdce, and because of that "e" I lost my XDC tokens. What can I do to recover my tokens?

Hello @emerson_ferreira_8180e389

It is important to be careful while entering the address for a transaction to avoid any mistakes. Could you please let us know which wallet you are using and provide the address of the sender for this transaction?

Addresses usually have a specific length, and if the length is incorrect, the transaction may not go through. However, if your transaction was successful, we would appreciate it if you could share the transaction hash with us for our records.

Thank you!

Morning My friends,

My Metamask Wallet address is:
0x5f510a0a33f78e22204e636afFdb0D2FB37a9619
and Txhash transaction is:
0xb92251ed55d1f59772a4488750853d23ec0400abdbc6cdac10771ee59894b47e
Thank you for now

Observe "Form:" and "To:"
"Form:" is your address
"To:" is the address you sent xdc to here
From the existence of a single transaction, for me it is a virgin address and, if you don't have the keys to access, you cannot recover the funds.

Now I don't know if the official team can do something but, being the main currency of the blockchain, nothing can be done.

Ok, little message for starters. You should study the crypto blockchain world and know that if you get it wrong, a transaction is lost forever. Today, with smart contracts, if the code provides for it, it is possible to recover the funds. What kind of token are you using and what kind of contract does it run? If you've used xdc coin I don't think there's much you can do.

For your mistake:
I don't quite understand your message but, if you entered the wrong prefix 0x/xdc it shouldn't send.
If, on the other hand, you entered "xdce" as a prefix, then the "e" should have become part of the wallet address by deleting the last character. Your tokens should be there.
You may have sent to a blank address that no one accesses, or you may have sent to another user who I think is unlikely to return your xdcs.

Hello,
I should have replaced the prefix xdc by 0x, instead I've replaced 0x0 in the place of xdce, it was the mistake I've done.
Exemple
I Should have replaced xdcenfa by 0xenfa but I've done 0x0nfa

Thank you
