    Yes, wallet addresses are case-sensitive. This means that if you enter the wrong case when sending funds, the transaction will fail and the funds will not be sent. It's important to double-check the address before confirming the transaction to avoid any mistakes.

    Absolutely! Wallet addresses are case-sensitive, so even a small mistake in the case of a letter can lead to the loss of your funds. Always make sure to copy and paste the address or use a QR code to avoid any errors when sending funds.

    Yes, wallet addresses are case-sensitive. If you enter the wrong address when sending funds, the transaction will be sent to the wrong recipient or fail altogether. It's crucial to verify the address multiple times before confirming the transaction to prevent any potential loss of funds. At BYDFi, we prioritize the security of our users' funds and recommend using our platform's built-in address verification feature to minimize the risk of entering the wrong address.
