If the sent address is missing the last character (and it is not valid address) will it be sent back to original sender (reverted). Is there any process for fixing?

Addresses in Ethereum have a standard length of 42 including the leading '0x'. Also the use of mixed case letter allows a checksum that can be verified.
Wallet should not accept addresses that don't have the expected length or failed the checksum verification.
Transaction with an invalid address will fail immediately, they will not be propagated to the network.
The problem is a non-validating wallet will likely completed the address with something else, like a random extra character.
- I've checked all alpha and numeric characters, none match. It had to be reverted and exchange is gaming.TC lane– TC lane2025-09-02 02:30:20 +00:00Commented Sep 2 at 2:30
- @TClane Do you have the transaction hash? Transactions once they are in a block they cannot be reverted, the easiest is for the recipient to send them back. Unfortunately the wallet acts like a scam, no reputable wallet will change random characters from an address.2025-09-04 07:14:52 +00:00Commented Sep 4 at 7:14
