Mistake one: matching the ticker but not the network
A ticker such as USDT is not enough to route a transaction. Select the same network in the sending wallet that appears in the destination instruction. Do this before you paste the address, not after.
Avoid assuming similar address formats are interchangeable. The network selector determines the blockchain that receives your transaction. A familiar prefix cannot rescue a wrong chain selection.
Mistake two: skipping the quote details
A quote can have a minimum, rate mode, timer, and exact deposit request. A floating result can move with the market; a fixed result may require a precise amount within a time window. Read these conditions before sending.
Do not try to send every last unit in a wallet without considering network costs. On DEX routes, the wallet may need native gas. On exchange routes, an amount below the stated minimum may not be processed as expected.
Mistake three: approving or signing on autopilot
Wallet prompts are security decisions, not pop-ups to dismiss quickly. Confirm that the connected site, network, token, amount, and action match what you intended. Reject a request you cannot explain.
Never enter a seed phrase to connect a wallet, fix a transaction, or claim a reward. Your recovery phrase is the wallet itself, and a request for it is a scam.
Mistake four: acting twice when an order is pending
Blockchain confirmations and provider processing take time. If a deposit is pending, use the status link or transaction hash to see its current state before you send again. A second deposit may create a separate order rather than fix the first one.
Keep your records and contact official support through the site if you need assistance. Do not pay someone who messages you first, promises an instant recovery, or requests a secret or “release fee.”
