The address is only half the route
Why the same token name can appear on several networks and how to avoid the wrong-network mistake.
Prefer to read?
The idea,
in words.
Same token. Different routes.
A token may exist on several networks. Choosing the token name does not establish that the recipient supports your route.
An address can look right
Some networks use the same address format. That visual match does not mean an exchange will credit a deposit on every network.
Match both ends
Check the recipient service for the exact network and token version. Use its official deposit instructions, not assumptions.
Verify a small arrival
Send a small test when practical and confirm receipt. Never assume a mistaken network transfer will be recoverable.
