XRP in BITCOIN CHAIN

Recommended Posts

I opened the trezor page with the wallet connected for the first time and the only chain and adress that i could see was the bitcoin one, so i didnt stop to think there would be others. i copied that adress and send my xrp there...

So now i guess the xrp are in my wallet but cant access them.

Thats why i am asking if there is a solution to this

I don’t have a hardware wallet so I’m not familiar with Trezor.  But I know what is required in XRP transfers.

Bitcoin addresses and XRP addresses are different in form and the only way to move XRP on the XRP chain is to a valid XRP address.  (Starts with a lowercase ‘r’)

 

So either you sent it to a valid address or it did not move.  I assume you were sending from an exchange?  If so look at the withdrawal transaction in your exchange account and get either the target address or the transaction ID.

Then plug either of those character strings into the search bar of any XRP explorer  Eg Bithomp.com or XRPScan.com


It is possible that the exchange tried to send it to a Bitcoin address.   In that case it may deduct your balance in error because in reality it can’t move XRP to an incorrect address.  But its software accounting might be confused.  If that the case take it up with the exchange.

Otherwise it might have sent to the Trezor XRP address (Not the Trezor Bitcoin address).  If that’s the case then you are fine.

Hope this helps.
