Ethereum

Many folks have permanently lost their ERC-20 tokens by accidentally sending them to the ERC-20 contract itself.

Ethereum wallets should block these transactions at the UI level.

I always wonder how this happens by accident, what do they do?

Yeah right, might happen eg when you need to add token manually on MM to send it and copy token address from etherscan

It's really not that difficult to copy the token contract's address accidentally (instead of the recipient's address). Imagine going to an Etherscan transaction page.
