In reply to coinguides.

Hello. I have some Matic Bep2. How can I change bep2 to BSC or other network in for matic?
They have said that by sending to Binance exchange, change the network when withdrawing, you can withdraw in another network. But in Binance deposit bep2 is not available now. And the deadline has not been given without changing matic bep2 network.

It is interesting that it is available in Binance Dex Trade, but it is not possible to convert to the same matic, and I want matic in another network, not to change to another coin.

In reply to coinguides. So... Are ERC20, BEP20, & BEP2 just like links to connect wallets to wallets?

In reply to Bob. Hi Bob, If you have your tokens on a centralized exchange like Kucoin and Binance then you don't really have them in any specific network, as these are held by the exchange. What matters is to which network that exchange allows you to withdraw that token to. For example Binance lets you withdraw either to the Ethereum network (ERC20) or to the Binance Smart Chain (BEP20). Your hardware wallet may only support ERC20, so you would need to make sure that any withdrawals from a centralized exchanged, are only done using the ERC20 option. If you have a wallet like metamask, then you can see all of your tokens on different networks (you change the network from the wallet interface).

Does anyone know how I can check what kind of token I have? If it happens to so many people that they lose ETH by sending it to an BEP2/20 network instead of ERC-20 or vice versa, then it should be possible to check “what kind of” I have in my wallet right? Is there a way to verify that it is an ERC-20 token before I send it to an ERC-20 address? Or is there a way to check if I have some Binance based ETH that I therefore have to send to a Binance network? Is there some tool tip that I’m missing? I’m using Kucoin and Binance but I want to keep funds in a hardware wallet.

Waooooooooooooo 😳 x10. This is REALLY amazing and encouraging of you guys. I’ve been reading and searching on these networks about sending and receiving, but it does get complicated. With your educative insights and infos here, we will SURELY learn and do things ourselves. I really appreciate you all efforts.

My question now is; when sending a coin to another wallet where one has such coin but different network. Does it mean one has to change the network to that particular coin’s network before sending?

Using Binance Bridge in Pancake swap, the only option that allows me to proceed is using BEP2 for my USDT ERC20, when doing so and I choose send from my wallet and continue it says I will receive 110 USDT BEP20.

Will that work? My intended goal was swap my USDT ERC20 for BNB BEP20 to Safemoon.
When I select Ethereum it leaves the options greyed out and I cannot proceed.

If only I have read this article before!!!
Great article and website, good job guys. Will subscribe : ) and will send tips via Brave browser.

Like many others here, I have managed to sent ETH from my metamask wallet to Bilaxy ETH deposit address but using BEP20 network, so probably I lost my ETH as Bilaxy will not help me recover them.

I really dont know why the exchanges do not provide the information you have provided here to their users :/

In reply to Devin. Since you've sent them to your Binance wallet you need to contact Binance support. That's the only way to recover your tokens. For those who are new here is how you can avoid sending tokens to the wrong network.
