What should my address look like?
A blockchain address is a unique string of characters, usually in a hexadecimal format of numbers & letters.
These strings represent a public address used by a blockchain to identify participants.
On Ethereum and most EVM-compatible networks like BSC, addresses start with 0x.

Sending Transactions on Galxe
If you need to send transactions, ensure you have some crypto to cover the network fees.
As soon as a block is confirmed, transactions get completed.
The network state changes to reflect the transactions, and accounts are adjusted.
In most cases, your wallet won't let you send a transaction that will fail, and it will tell you if it may not be successful.
A network consumes the transaction fees— you are competing with others and paying for valuable block space.
Because of this, you will not get a refund from network fees unless it's returned by the network as unconsumed units of gas.
ℹ️ Note: Check your wallet for warnings and be cautious when transactions are excessive in cost. (Gas estimation error)
Be careful, nothing can be done about network fees if you send a failed transaction.
