Sending Beam
While your Beam web wallet puts users in complete control over their digital funds, however recovering funds sent or received by an incorrect address is not possible. Always double-check to make sure you are not sending Beam coins to an incorrect or expired address.
Transaction Fees
Offline transactions (regular Offline and Public Offline) have significantly higher transaction fees than regular transactions due to the more significant blockchain requirements Offline payments have compared to Regular.
Regular transaction: Fee = 0.001 Beam (Before HF-3 100 GROTH).
Offline transaction: Fee = 0.011 BEAM (0.01-for shielded coin + 0.001-fee transaction).
