ChainTunnel: Binance deposit and withdrawal guide — pick the cheapest network, know when funds arrive, and recover wrong-network transfers

Binance Tron TRC20 · cheapest Solana Ethereum ERC20 Arbitrum BSC BEP20 cheapest route
Pick the cheapest route
Load your coins,
send them down the cheapest pipe.

Think of each network as its own pipe. Send your transfer down the cheapest, fastest one — and if you pick the wrong chain or forget a memo, we'll walk you back out.

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.

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.
