"The highest risk retail see is losing funds" From live EDCON broadcast https://www.youtube.com/live/7dPKrzSVUTs Big appreciation to all working on wallet security, account abstraction, dapp security, anti-fraud, etc The real alpha is not in getting 8% APR instead of 5% APR, it's making sure you don't get -100% APR.

Really sorry to hear that! Any chance you could share how specifically you ended up putting in the wrong address? Would be a good data point to help wallet designers design to avoid such situations in the future.

dust attacks are the worst, always copy wallet from your own app, not tx's list, sorry this happened to you jp. ENS should help here too, for apps that support parsing them so you type your ENS out and know which wallet 4 last digits should resolve too, I've had some random issues with people sending me to my new ENS (bleu) and getting to either a typo'd or old owner's of the ENS name (opensea caching resolving, idk?)
