A common mistake
Sent to the wrong network
The funds did not vanish. They sit at the same address on the network the transfer was actually sent on, and what happens next depends on what controls that address there.

Where did the funds go?
Paste the address the funds were sent to, or the transaction hash if that is easier. Your browser reads the public chain live and tells you what is there and who is able to move it.
Not sure which? Open the transfer in your wallet or exchange history and copy either the recipient address or the transaction hash.
Check the addressWhat the checker does here
Every EVM network uses the same address format, so a transfer sent on the wrong network still lands at the address you typed, on a different chain. The checker reads that chain directly: the balance, whether any contract code sits at the address, and the curated token balances it knows about.
If the address is a wallet you hold the key to, you can move the funds yourself by adding the network to that wallet. If it is an address where the SixStar rescue contract can be deployed, the checker says so and points you at the open-source tool for a free, signature-authorised sweep in which you pay only the network fees. If an exchange or a project controls the address, the checker gives you a proof page and a copy-ready message to send them: it states what is there and who is able to move it.
Nothing is stored and nothing is signed to check. The result carries the block number of every read and the exact RPC calls, so anyone you send it to can re-derive it.
Questions
- Are funds sent on the wrong network lost?
- Usually not. The transfer lands at the same address on the network it was sent on. Whether it can be moved depends on what controls that address there, which the checker reads from the public chain.
- Which address do I paste?
- The destination: the address the funds were sent to. A transaction hash works as well; the checker resolves the real recipient from it.
- Does checking cost anything?
- No. Checking, the proof page and recovering it yourself are free, permanently, with no signup and no wallet. SixStar does not recover funds for you and never touches your money.
