A cryptocurrency payment can be difficult or impossible to recover once sent. Check the recipient, currency, and network before confirming any transfer.
Before making a contribution
- Check the address in the wallet directory. An address marked TBA is not available for donations.
- Match the currency and network. A Bitcoin address is not an Ethereum recipient, and an exchange may offer several withdrawal networks.
- Review the full recipient address on your wallet’s confirmation screen. Clipboard substitutions and impersonation can redirect a payment.
- Keep the transaction ID for your own records. Never share a wallet seed phrase, private key, or exchange password.
Questions about donations
Where can I check a transaction?
Use a block explorer for the network you sent on and search for the transaction ID. A public transaction shows an on-chain transfer; it does not by itself establish how a fund spent the contribution.
What does TBA mean?
The address has not been published. Do not substitute an address from a private message or another website.
Do contributions provide an investment return?
This page does not offer an investment product or promise a financial return.
Common warning signs
| Warning sign | Safe response |
|---|---|
| An address sent privately | Do not treat a direct message as an authorized donation address. Compare it with the published directory. |
| Guaranteed returns | This fund page promises no investment return. Treat payment-for-profit claims as a warning. |
| A request for recovery words | Never disclose your seed phrase or private key. Neither is needed to receive a donation. |
| Urgent payment demands | Pause and independently check the request; pressure is not evidence of authenticity. |
| A changed pasted address | Compare the complete recipient shown by your wallet with the original before signing. |
If something looks wrong
Stop before sending. If a transfer has already been made, keep the transaction ID and any public message references. Do not pay someone who promises guaranteed recovery of cryptocurrency.
Addresses marked TBA in the wallet directory are unavailable; there is no replacement address to use.
