Six mistakes that cost people money in swaps

Most losses are not sophisticated. They are the same handful of slips.

Wrong network

Sending ERC20 USDT to a TRC20 address. The most common and the most expensive.

A missing memo or tag

Sending to a service on a chain that needs a tag and leaving it blank.

Closing the order page

With no account, that page is the link to your order. Keep it until the payout lands.

Skipping the refund address

Ten seconds that turn a problem into an automatic return.

Sending from an exchange account

Withdrawals can arrive late, in the wrong amount after fees, or from an address that cannot receive a refund. Send from a wallet you control.

Trusting a link

Check the domain before you paste anything. Bookmark the exchange you use and reach it from the bookmark.

None of these need expertise. They need one deliberate pause before the send button.
