Description of the issue:  
I was sending ~10$ eth to my brave wallet, as I set the gas fee low, it took about 2hours and thats fine cause i wasnt in a hurry  
But after transaction being done, I saw that the wallet address has been changed! I really don’t know why should something like this happen. This is pretty weird and unacceptable.

Are you using the (new) [Brave Wallet](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/4413440292877-How-do-I-use-Brave-Wallet-in-Brave-) or the (old) [Crypto wallets implementation](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035488071-How-do-I-manage-my-Crypto-Wallets-)? yes

How can this issue be reproduced?  
No clue

Brave Version (check About Brave):  
[  
Version 1.37.109 Chromium: 100.0.4896.60 (Official Build) (64-bit)

@alijk ,

You are funny:

Probably, the question in the Report Template should be:

> Are you using the (new) Brave Wallet, or are you using the (old) Crypto wallets implementation? (Which, are you using?)

–

Re your issue, it means that something altered your Brave Browser “Preferences” file, in the area where the wallet address is stored.

In order **for you only** , to view that area . . . in a Brave Browser New Window, enter Brave URL address:

> `brave://prefs-internals/`

Search for character string:

> `contract_address`

There are more than 1 such character strings, that you will find in succession. Some are associated with either a blank (no address) or obscure characters.

You will become familiar with how that area appears / should appear.

And, see what Brian said (below):

Your address cannot change, it is possible to have multiple accounts (addresses) though. Maybe in the wallet icon on the top right you selected a different account?
