Many people do not know that token ( for example USDT) exists on many different networks, you need to choose the correct network and address when transferring.
🛣️ 1. Network = Type of transportation Imagine networks like (ERC20, BEP20, TRC20,...) as different modes of transportation: Road Waterway Airline
📍 2. Wallet address = Specific destination Corresponding to the type of transportation, the wallet address is the delivery point: House number (Road) Port (Waterway) Airport (Airline)
💡 Experience: Wrong network = Lost goods: You can't land a "plane" at a "house number" in the street, just as you can't send USDT on the ERC20 network to a TRC20 wallet address. The address may be correct, but if the network is wrong, the goods will never arrive!
Golden rule: Always check 5 steps: Choose the correct network ➔ Paste the correct address ➔ First check (network and address) ➔ Second check (network and address) ➔ Third check (network and address)
