* The actual discount is whatever Binance shows on its own page and can change with its terms. The link above is our referral link — we earn a commission from it, and it doesn't cost you anything or change your fees. Check that Binance is available where you live first; if it's restricted in your region (the US, UK and Canada among others), don't sign up. We're an independent guide, not Binance.

Wrong chain = coins can be gone for good
Missing memo = deposit stuck, but you can often appeal to recover it

RISKOn-chain transfers can't be undone · the wrong network, a mistyped address or a missing memo can lose your coins for good. Read the diagram first, and send a small test amount.Independent guide · not Binance

The withdrawal loading bay: which pipe is cheapest for this transfer?

Pick a coin and a from/to, and it points you toward a cheaper, faster network. On-chain fees move constantly, so this only gives you a direction — the real number is whatever Binance shows at withdrawal.

Sample result · Recommended tube
Tron TRC20
Fee lower
Speed faster
Confirmations few

For direction only, not a live quote. The final fee and whether a network is available come from Binance's own withdrawal page. If the receiving platform doesn't support that network, don't use it — you'll lose the coins.

Arrival time · Arrival

Roughly how long each network takes to arrive

Here's the relative speed and cost of the common networks — qualitative only; live confirmation counts and fees come from Binance and a block explorer. Fuller pipe = faster.

Tron TRC20
Very fast · lowest fee
Solana
Extremely fast · low fee
Arbitrum L2
Fast · low fee
BSC BEP20
Fairly fast · fairly low fee
Ethereum ERC20
Slower · highest fee

The fill level shows relative speed, not exact numbers. Real confirmation counts, arrival times and fees swing with congestion — go by Binance's page and a block explorer.

Recovery · Recovery

Already sent it wrong? Follow this path to see if it's recoverable

Sent it wrong Where did it go?Check the address type Exchange / your own walletand you hold the keys Contract / unsupported coinor no memo Usually recoverable: appeal / import same address on the other chain Usually irreversible: keep evidence, file an official appeal

This is a direction, not a guarantee. Whether you get the coins back depends on the exact network and the receiving side — for anything involving your funds, go by Binance's official self-service appeal and support. More in how to recover USDT sent on the wrong network.
