Dear Safe DAO community, I am writing to you today with a sense of urgency and a request for your assistance. I have recently made a mistake in a transaction and have sent a significant amount of tokens to the wrong address. This mistake has left me in a difficult situation, as the tokens are essential for my ongoing projects and plans. I am reaching out to the DAO community today to ask for your help in rescuing these tokens. I am aware that the nature of blockchain transactions is such that they are irreversible, but I am hopeful that there may be a way to recover these tokens and set things right. I understand that the DAO community is built on a foundation of trust and mutual support, and I am hopeful that this ethos will extend to my situation.Your vote is very much appreciated. Thank you . Attached below is the transaction hash where the tokens are being sent : > **[Ethereum Transaction Hash (Txhash) Details | Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/tx/0x36d6365e0d52abdbd175bf51c6ecdb3125ab3abe551c0487c8c33e6d5acd7b58)** > > Ethereum (ETH) detailed transaction info for txhash 0x36d6365e0d52abdbd175bf51c6ecdb3125ab3abe551c0487c8c33e6d5acd7b58. The transaction status, block confirmation, gas fee, Ether (ETH), and token transfer are shown. ---

Sorry about your situation! Have you looked into Flashbots? Not sure if it will work for your situation but perhaps they have a solution that we dont know about as of yet…? I just happened to watch this video the other day and forked the gist to keep for future [![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/b/b685a2ed02f7f512eecf862c23edf9f934fd541b.jpeg "Rescue Your Hacked Crypto Wallet Tokens | Flashbots Tutorial") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Cfqh303m0A) ---

thank you for your kind words, i’m being hopeful. i optimistic that the SAFE team has a function that allows recovery of tokens back to the sender. ---

gm @thruppeny_protocol, recovery of these tokens is possible. there is a function in the safe token contract for exactly these kind of situations: ```auto /// @notice Transfer all tokens with address `token` owned by this contract to `beneficiary`. /// @dev This can only be called by the owner of the contract /// @param token The token that should be rescued /// @param beneficiary The account that should receive the tokens. function rescueToken(IERC20 token, address beneficiary) external onlyOwner { uint256 balanceToRescue = token.balanceOf(address(this)); require(balanceToRescue > 0, "TokenRescuer: No tokens to rescue"); _beforeTokenRescue(token, beneficiary, balanceToRescue); require(token.transfer(beneficiary, balanceToRescue), "TokenRescuer: Could not rescue token"); } ``` it can only be called by the contract’s `owner`, which in this case is `0x8CF60B289f8d31F737049B590b5E4285Ff0Bd1D1` (the safe foundation as far as i can tell). ---

Thank you for the function to receive my Token! Ive learned I have made a mess of things and also just getting one of my contracts to deploy correctly have been quiet interesting. ---

Hi there. This case was different from your situation unfortunately. This user’s assets were sent to the SAFE’s token address, whereas yours were sent to a scammer. Unfortunately there’s no way to recover them unless the scammer themselves send it back to you. 🙁 Anyone claiming they can rescue those stolen ETH from the scammer’s address are also scammers.
