Getting your transfer right takes three critical steps. First, double-check the network you're using—sending assets to the wrong blockchain is one of the most common mistakes traders make, and it's usually irreversible. ETH on Ethereum, USDT on Polygon, BTC on Bitcoin—get this wrong and your funds vanish. Second, verify every detail before hitting confirm. Copy and paste your recipient address rather than typing it manually. Check the amount twice. One careless tap costs real money. Third, enable 2FA on your wallet or exchange account. It's your last line of defense against unauthorized transfers. Whether it's authentication codes or biometric locks, that extra layer of security matters far more than most people realize. These aren't optional suggestions—they're non-negotiable if you want to keep your assets safe.

If the chain is wrong, it's gone immediately. It's indeed easy to fall into this trap.

I really don't understand how some people still dare to not enable 2FA. Isn't that asking for trouble?

Another heartbreaking lesson, but it really needs to be taken seriously... That day, I saw someone directly transferred to the wrong chain, and the money was gone, really.

Cross-chain transfers, you really need to be careful. I've seen too many people send money into a black hole with a single operation.

Sent money to the wrong chain and can't even cry about it...
