How do I recover funds sent to a wrong public address MetaMask?

If you want to change the network of your Metamask, for example to the Kovan test network, you need to click the ‘down arrow’ next to the current network . It will open a menu where you can select a different network.

You have mistakenly sent tokens to a wallet that does not support the network on which the tokens were sent. In this case, you need to import your wallet private key into a new wallet that supports both networks . Depending on the wallet you are importing, you can also use a seed phrase instead of a private key.

In simple terms, they are token standards that each belong on a different blockchain. If your crypto is on the wrong network, it might not be usable for the purpose you need . For example, Ethereum sent to BSC won’t be usable in Ethereum DApps and smart contracts.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee anyone can retrieve your tokens if you sent them to a contract address . A contract address is not a repository of tokens; it is essentially a computer program, a set of code, that performs some function on the blockchain.
