Crypto is a risky business; some make millions overnight, while others lose it all in the blink of an eye. Hacks, rug pulls, and phishing scams can all cause such hefty losses, but often simple user error can cause painful losses.<\/p>\n

One such costly mistake was picked<\/a> up by the X (formerly Twitter) blockchain tracker Whale Alert. It reported that one unlucky user had unwittingly paid an eye-watering gas fee of 31 ETH, worth over $100,000.<\/p>\n

The user reached out to the recipient of the gas fee, TitanBuilder, via an on-chain message<\/a> viewable on the Etherscan block explorer. They appealed to the block builder to return the 31 ETH, which they said \u201cis a huge amount of money to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The message blamed a \u201cbuggy wallet\u201d for sending the transaction on Ethereum instead of PulseChain. Both networks run on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which means transactions valid on one EVM chain will be valid on another.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an issue that stems from choosing which gas fee to pay to have the transaction processed. On PulseChain, gas fees are paid in PLS rather than ETH, and, according<\/a> to data from CoinMarketCap, PLS is currently worth fractions of a cent compared to approximately $3,650 per ETH<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coinbase\u2019s Conor Grogan called<\/a> for the block builder to earn some good karma by returning the funds. However, he also noted<\/a> that the ETH had been forwarded onto an exchange account, which Titan builder\u2019s address<\/a> appears to execute automatically.<\/p>\n
