I sent the wrong coin (or wrong network) to a deposit address — help!
EVM-chain mistakes are usually recoverable. Native-chain mistakes (BTC to LTC, etc) are not. Contact support immediately with the TX hash.
Time matters — contact support fast
Open live chat or email [email protected] with:
- The TX hash
- Which coin/network you intended
- Which coin/network you actually sent
Our compliance and engineering teams handle these case-by-case.
What's recoverable
EVM chains sharing the same address (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Avalanche C-chain)
If you sent:
- USDT on BEP20 to your USDT ERC20 deposit address → recoverable. The same private key controls both. Allow 24–48 hours for our team to sweep.
- BNB to an Ethereum-format address → recoverable.
- Any ERC20 token to a BSC address → recoverable as long as the address format matches (
0x...).
We charge a recovery fee equal to the network gas cost — no markup.
TRON-family confusion
- USDT TRC20 sent to a TRON address that we control on TRC20 → automatically credited if it landed in our hot wallet pool, even if "wrong" coin.
- TRX sent to USDT-TRC20 address → recoverable (same TRON network).
What's NOT recoverable
These cannot be retrieved — you sent to a chain we have no key for:
- BTC sent to an LTC address (different chain, different key)
- LTC sent to a DOGE address
- Any native L1 coin sent to an unrelated L1 address
- Coin sent to a 3rd-party exchange address by mistake — that's their problem, not ours
How to prevent this next time
- Always copy-paste the address — never type. Always verify the first 4 and last 4 characters match.
- Always select the matching network in your sending wallet (USDT on TRC20 ≠ USDT on ERC20).
- For your first deposit on a new network, send a small test amount (~$15) first, confirm it credits, then send the rest.
- Use Trust Wallet or Exodus' "scan QR" — they auto-pick the right network.
Even seasoned crypto users lose funds to wrong-network sends about once a year. There is no shame in test transactions.

My deposit isn't showing up — what's wrong?
99% of cases: still confirming. Check the TX hash on a block explorer. If confirmed but not credited after 1 hour, contact support.
I withdrew to the wrong address — can you recover it?
If it's your own address (different wallet/exchange), retrieve it there. If it's someone else's address, the funds are unrecoverable.
Which cryptocurrencies can I deposit?
BTC, ETH, USDT (TRC20 + ERC20), LTC, DOGE, BNB, USDC and TRX. New chains added quarterly.
