Number of network confirmations

🔗 What Are Network Confirmations and Why Do They Matter?

In blockchain systems, a transaction is considered complete only after it has been included in a block and added to the chain. This is called a confirmation.

For example, if you send 1 BTC to someone, it will remain pending until a miner adds it to a block — at which point it receives one confirmation. The more confirmations, the higher the security and finality of the transaction.

📊 How Many Confirmations Are Needed?

The number of confirmations required depends on two key factors:

Blockchain type. Each network has its own rules. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or Tron may all require a different number of confirmations.
Platform policy. Exchanges and crypto services set their own rules for how many confirmations are needed before crediting funds to your account.

❗️Example:

BTC: 3 confirmations
ETH (ERC-20): 12
USDT (TRC-20): 2

Always check the required confirmations for the specific asset before sending.

🌐 How to Choose the Right Network?

Many tokens exist on multiple blockchains. For instance, USDT is available on ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20, Polygon, and others.
Each network has its own address format and rules.

Tips to avoid mistakes:

Confirm which network the recipient platform supports.
If the platform accepts multiple networks, the correct one is usually shown next to the token symbol (e.g., USDT (TRC-20)).
Sending funds on the wrong network may result in irreversible loss of assets.

🚫 Unsupported Sending Methods

Some methods of sending crypto are not compatible with exchange or service wallet addresses. We do not support transactions made via:

Cross-chain transfers (directly from one network to another);
Smart contract sends that deviate from standard transaction formats;
Batch or multi-send transactions, where multiple recipients or tokens are involved.

📌 Using such methods may result in loss of funds with no possibility of recovery.

Before sending crypto:

Double-check the selected blockchain network.
Review the required number of confirmations.
Avoid unsupported or non-standard methods of sending funds.

Attention to these details is key to a safe and successful transaction.
