SlowMist and ChainCatcher have issued security warnings regarding address mismatches between the Sui and Aptos blockchains, highlighting risks to user assets.
Warnings are critical, as sending assets between these networks can lead to irreversible losses, impacting users financially.
SlowMist and ChainCatcher have issued security warnings regarding address mismatches between the Sui and Aptos blockchains, highlighting risks to user assets.
Sui and Aptos addresses start with '0x' and are 66 characters long, which creates a risk of confusion. In SlowMist's warnings, it is emphasized that these addresses, while visually similar, are not interchangeable or convertible. ChainCatcher once again stressed the need for increased awareness and caution when managing these blockchain addresses.
In response to this, security leaders such as 'Cosinus' SlowMist urged users to double-check destination addresses before making transactions. The community's reaction calls for wallet software developers to integrate warnings to prevent such failures, advocating for improved user interface security measures.
Yui Xian (Cosinus), co-founder of SlowMist, said, 'Users need to know that the private key corresponding to the Sui address cannot withdraw the same address on Aptos, and they cannot be converted into each other. For example, if you have Aptos and accidentally transfer funds to your Sui address, those funds will be lost...'
Address precedents and future blockchain standards
Did you know? Address confusion has historical precedents similar to past confusions in Ethereum-based networks, showing the ongoing need for clear blockchain identification standards.
