Choose the right network

Many coins exist on more than one network. Your wallet and your swap must use the same one.

4 stepsReading time: about 3 minutes

Step by step

  1. Step 1 See which network your wallet uses

    Open your wallet or exchange account and choose Receive for the coin. Most apps name the network on this screen, near the address or at the top. Names differ between apps: TRC20, TRC-20 and Tron are the same network.

    Simplified drawing. Your wallet or exchange looks different.
  2. Step 2 Pick the same network in the coin list

    Tap the coin button under “You get” (or “You send”) and search for the coin. If it exists on several networks, a list opens: “Choose the network your wallet uses”. Pick the one your wallet showed.

    The coin list with USDT opened into its networks, each with a short hint.
  3. Step 3 Check the label of the address field

    On the Swap details page, the field says which coin and network it expects, for example “Your USDT address on Tron (TRC-20)”. It must match what your wallet shows.

    The Swap details page. The label of the address field names the coin and the network.
  4. Step 4 Fix a wrong-network warning

    If your address belongs to another network, we say which one and offer to switch. Switch only if that is the network your wallet really uses.

    A warning under the address field: the address looks like a Tron address but Ethereum was chosen, with a button to switch.

What the first characters tell you

An address's first characters hint at its network. Several networks share a start, such as 0x, so only your wallet can tell you the network for sure.

If something goes wrong

If your wallet's network isn't in the list

We can't offer that network for this coin right now. Choose another network your wallet supports, or use a different wallet.

If you already sent coins on the wrong network

Don't send more. Keep the transaction ID from your wallet and send us a support request with your swap ID. Recovery isn't always possible and can cost a fee under the partner's terms.
