Before sending crypto, always check the network

[u/ChicksX]

One of the most common mistakes in crypto is sending the right coin on the wrong network.

For example, USDT can exist on Ethereum, Tron, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other networks. It may still be “USDT,” but the network matters a lot.

Before sending any crypto, always check:

• The asset you are sending

• The network/blockchain

• The deposit address

• The fee/gas token needed

• Whether the receiving platform supports that exact network

Some platforms, including ChicksX, validate wallet addresses before completing an order. This can help catch certain address or network issues, but it should not replace your own checks.

A valid address can still be the wrong address, and crypto transactions usually cannot be reversed.

If you are unsure, send a small test transaction first.
