Depending on the circumstances, we may be able to help recover cryptocurrency sent to the wrong address or transferred using an unsupported network to your non-custodial Wallet or Trading Account.
Important notes:
- We will never ask you to deposit significant funds to unfreeze your account or speed up stuck transaction. Stay vigilant against scams. Legitimate scenarios for lost crypto troubleshooting are outlined below.
- Not all recovery efforts are equal, some may only take a short amount of engineering time to recover where others may take much longer. For this reason we are only able to attempt to recover funds over the value of $300 in the case of a simple recovery. Or over $3,000 for complicated recoveries. Our team will tell you how complicated we expect the recovery to be so if in doubt please reach out.
- Upon successful completion of this work Blockchain.com will keep 10% of the recovered funds and return the remaining 90% to the original deposit address or to your Trading Account where security permits.
- In certain cases, the recovered funds will be returned to the original sender's address. If the deposit originated from another platform, you will need to contact that platform for further assistance accessing the funds once our work has been completed.
- For cases in which the unique deposit memo or tag is incorrect or missing, we might ask you to make another minimum deposit of 1 XLM/XRP from the same address that the missing deposit originated from but with your correct memo/tag included. This is so we can verify that you are the owner of the depositing account before we return any lost funds to that address.
Recovering assets in this way can take time as our engineers may need to make changes to our infrastructure in order to recover your funds. This may take 3+ months for our teams to complete depending on complexity. We appreciate your patience during this time.
Funds sent to your Trading Account or Blockchain.com
Scenario 1:
If you’ve sent:
- a token without the required unique memo or tag (for example XLM, TON or XRP)
- a supported token to the wrong Blockchain.com Account address (over Ethereum, Tron, Celo or Theta networks only)
In cases like these, we can only attempt to recover funds which are equal to or greater than $300 at the time that the recovery request is made.
Upon successful completion of this work Blockchain.com will keep 10% of the recovered funds and return the remaining 90% to the original deposit address or to your Blockchain.com Account where security permits.
For cases like this where a unique deposit memo or tag is required but was submitted incorrectly or was missing, we might ask you to make another minimum deposit of 1 XLM/XRP from the same address as the initial unidentified deposit with your correct memo/tag included so that we can verify you are the owner of the depositing account.

Scenario 3:
If you’ve sent:
- Bitcoin (BTC) to your Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Trading Account or vice versa
- any token to your Trading Account over the unsupported network (including BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Cronos, Optimism, KuCoin Chain etc.)
Unfortunately, due to the complex technical aspects and incompatibility of these blockchains, we will not be able to assist you in recovering these funds. To avoid future loss of funds, please only send crypto to its respective receiving address over the supported network.
Funds sent to your Non-custodial Wallet
Assets held in your wallet are non-custodial and unrecoverable by Blockchain.com but we may still be able to help in some cases.
If you’ve sent:
- an unsupported ERC-20 token to your ETH Wallet address
- any other token to your ETH Wallet address over the unsupported network (such as Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Cronos, Optimism, KuCoin Chain etc.)
You will need to export the ETH private key of your Blockchain.com Wallet and import it into a third-party wallet that supports the particular token or network in question. This export functionality is only available in the web wallet. Once you are logged in, please follow these steps:
1. Select Wallets & Addresses from the settings menu in the top-right corner
2. Click on the Ethereum tab near the top of the page
3. Read the warning message, then click Show to view your private key
Once you have obtained your private key, you will be able to import it into a third-party wallet or platform which supports the particular token or network in question.
For help with importing your private key into a third-party wallet, please contact the third-party wallet's support team directly. Unfortunately, Blockchain.com is unable to provide support for third-party wallets and we cannot be responsible for their safety, security, or functionality.
If you have lost your non-custodial Wallet password or recovery seed, we are unable to restore this for you. We may be able to refer you to our partners at https://cryptoassetrecovery.com/for further assistance. So please contact us if you would like to discuss this further.
Important note:
Blockchain.com Cannot Recover or Track Lost or Stolen Funds
We understand how distressing this situation is, and we want to explain why certain actions aren’t possible.
- Blockchain.com does not have the ability to recover cryptocurrency lost through fraudulent activity or scams. Unfortunately, due to the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency networks like Bitcoin, transactions are irreversible. Once funds are sent, they cannot be retrieved, much like sending cash in the mail. This design is meant to protect user autonomy but also means that chargebacks or reversals are not possible.
You should never share your private key with any other parties as this will compromise your funds. Blockchain.com will never ask for your Recovery Phrase or private keys.
