XDC Invalid Address Error – Common Causes and Solutions

Updated

If you encounter an “Invalid address” error when trying to send XDC, don’t worry—this is usually related to address format compatibility.

✅ Check the Address Format

XDC addresses can appear in two different formats:

  • XDC format (e.g., xdc1234...)

  • 0x format (e.g., 0x1234...)

Both formats are valid and supported on the XDC network. However, some exchanges or wallets only accept one specific format.

🔍 What You Can Do

  1. Check with the exchange you're sending to. Confirm whether they accept 0x addresses or require the xdc format.

  2. Convert the address format using XDCScan: (https://xdcscan.io/)

    • Go to the top right corner of the website.

    • Use the built-in address converter to switch between 0x and xdc formats.

  3. Double-check the destination address after conversion to avoid any loss of funds.

⚠️ Important Tips

  • Both formats point to the same wallet on the XDC network—they are simply displayed differently.

  • Always test with a small amount first to ensure the destination address is accepted and correct.

  • Never modify the address manually—use trusted tools only.

By following these steps, you can avoid errors and ensure your XDC reaches the correct destination safely.
