Why are we still copy-pasting 40-character wallet addresses in 2026?

Why are we still copy-pasting 40-character wallet addresses in 2026?

Idea: you do a small test transfer once → both wallets get a shared avatar/character. Next time you send, you just recognize the person visually instead of relying on the address.

Kind of like “pairing” wallets.

Would this actually reduce mistakes or scams, or is this unnecessary given things like ENS?

Why are we still copy-pasting 40-character wallet addresses in 2026?

Why are we still copy-pasting long wallet addresses in 2026? It feels like there should be a simpler way by now. Random thought: what if wallets could “pair” after you send a small test transfer once. After that, both wallets generate some shared avatar or visual identifier so the next time you send funds, you just recognize the wallet visually instead of double-checking the whole address again.

Would something like this actually help reduce mistakes or scams, or is this already basically solved by things like ENS? Just curious what other people think.
