Most lost crypto is unrecoverable. Some is. This guide covers what each scenario looks like and what realistic recovery paths exist.
Critical: be skeptical of 'crypto recovery services' on social media. They're scams targeting people who already lost money.
What's in this guide
1. Lost on a platform you control
Forgotten password to your own Monica account: account recovery via email + KYC. Recoverable.
2. Sent to wrong address (right network)
If the address belongs to someone, recovery requires their cooperation. Vanishingly rare.
3. Sent on wrong network
Sometimes recoverable by the receiving platform if both networks are supported. Contact platform support with transaction hash.
4. Stolen by malware
Unrecoverable. Move remaining funds to a clean device immediately.
5. Stolen via scam
Report to EFCC. Document everything. Recovery is rare; charges are rarer.
6. Recovery scams
'I can recover your stolen crypto.' Always a scam. Block.
