This means that the coins are still in your possession, but you cannot access them through the intended wallet.
To recover the coins, you will need to have the private key or recovery phrase of the wallet you sent the coins from. The recovery phrase is a set of 12 or 24 words that act as a backup for your wallet’s private key. If you have the recovery phrase, you can access your coins through a different wallet that supports the particular coin or network.
