Common Crypto Recovery Mistakes on Starknet
The errors that can turn a simple wallet cleanup into an expensive transaction.
Why this matters on Starknet
Recovery errors usually happen when users rush: wrong network, wrong token, wrong recipient, or a suspicious approval. A slower verification step is often cheaper than a correction.
Starknet uses its own account and smart-contract environment, which differs from standard EVM networks.
Starknet does not follow standard EVM conventions. Address formats, token identifiers and approval mechanics differ, so EVM-oriented checklists and tools should only be applied to Starknet after confirming they are supported.
Starknet: what to pay attention to
- Costs: Check the current network cost and route mechanics before moving small balances.
- Security: Do not assume EVM contract and wallet conventions apply directly.
- Assets and tokens: Verify Starknet-specific asset and account details.
