1. Send to the wrong address

Basically, if you type an invalid address (maybe not exist or in the wrong format), the O3 Wallet will detect it and let you know. So you can not go to the next step before entering the correct address. However, what if you enter an address that seems valid and transfer the assets successfully?

Because blockchain is immutable and cannot be changed easily, unfortunately, there is no way to retrieve this transaction. It will lead to permanent loss. Technically, the assets still exist on the blockchain, but you do not know who has the ‘right’ private key to access them. Therefore, we suggest entering the receipt address by scanning QR code or importing from address book to reduce the risk of filling in wrong address.

2. ONT is separated from Neo wallet

Although Neo and Ont are different chains, they use the same private key system so far, which means both addresses are the same. That’s why in the previous version, O3 Wallet basic, users can hold NEO and ONT in the same address, but in the new version, we separated the two wallets and users need to choose a corresponding wallet before importing. If you hold ONT in your O3 Wallet which is the Neo address before, you can create an Ont wallet by importing Neo private key. Then you will see your Ont assets in this wallet. Also, O3 Wallet officially removed the Staketology from 1st November. When you unstake or withdraw ONT from Staketology, it may not appear in your wallet. You can import Ont wallet with the same private key on Neo. Staketology is a platform to stake ONT, users can still stake/ unstake/ withdraw ONT on other platforms such as OWallet by importing the same address.

3. Insufficient transaction fee

The common situation is when you want to send GAS or NEO but the total amount including priority fee (GAS) is more than your balance, you will not be able to confirm this transaction. On the other hand, we are preparing to support the ETH and BTC recently. When you transfer these popular assets, make sure you add enough miner fee. Too low of miner fee used during the network congestion will increase the risk of a rejected transaction.

4. The asset I transfer from exchanges are not showing up

There are generally two steps from the exchange to the wallet, exchange platform auditing and block network transfer. After you initiate a withdrawal application, it will be shown confirming on the transaction page. If the confirmation is completed, the asset withdrawn will be transferred to the address of the asset through the corresponding block network. This process is often fast, but it may delay because of too much transaction volume. If the exchange has not confirmed the transaction for a long time (for most exchanges it should not take much longer than 1 hour), we suggest asking the platform about the progress directly. If the exchange confirms, but the asset still has not arrived, you can check the progress through the blockchain browser.

5. I have enough assets, but still can not send them successfully

There are many reasons why transfers are not received for a long time. Stable Internet would be important especially in hot wallets, such as O3 Wallet. Sometimes the Internet is unstable or disconnected when switching to other WiFi. Additionally, avoid using public or unsafe WiFi during transactions because all transfer is based on the Internet. Please make sure you have a stable and secure Internet connected.
