Sent coin on wrong blockchain?

[DapanasFruit]

Sadly, a situation like this reminds us to be always careful in sending transactions and this is so true for me who remains to be technically-challenged after many years of being involved in cryptocurrency. Just a single mistake can cost the whole thing down the drain and we could not expect big platforms (like Binance or any exchange, for that matter) to be there on our backs. I am wishing that the coins can eventually be recovered, for good.

I'm also a beginner here, and I don't understand / don't understand it can be said that I don't fully understand your question very well, but I see you said you sent binance from a wallet, maybe you should tell them about your problem , and if you send it to your own wallet, you can open your metamask and import it again, of course you will get your money back.

if the transaction was successful and you lost your balance from metamask, the only way you have to contact the options of binance, maybe they can help you, and maybe they will give you a guide or the best solution, and I also happened to hear on the binance exchange not there is such a thing as avax polygon blockchain coin and avax coin, whether this is true or not I don't know for sure.

this is also one of your mistakes that you or maybe many other people transact in crypto, and communicate with binance options by sending messages or the like or what is said with help and support on binance, most likely you will get a feedback response from Binance's side, this will also take a little longer, you have to be patient especially.

and in my own opinion I'm also not sure whether your money will come back, polygons are now different from the BSC network, again what I said above, the only advice from me and the only way is you have to contact binance.

maybe this is my suggestion and input for the rest maybe our friends who have deeper knowledge will answer it and discuss it in more detail.

When you wrong network sending coin I think to get refund contact support team but not have fastest respond, have see on several issues need almost 90 days to get back our money but have sent first our money as commission to get refund after wrong network sending. I will be careful when sending coin and always check with network on my exchange destination, have support with the same network or not, never hurry up when sending your coin because will be crucial when sending have been success and you wrong with network chain you can cancel your sending coins.

I'm thinking I can't send AVAX from the POLYGON network to the Binance Smart Chain?

You cannot do this because both are different chain and sometimes the address for both chain are changed. Always check Network before sending any coin. The best strategy is that first send 5$ or 1$ for checking and then try all.


If so, is there any way to retrieve the AVAX?
I think Binance will recover it for you. You can contact them by clicking on Help and Support and chat with team.
I have not face this kind of Issue in Binance but Mexc one time I sent to Bsc network instead of Eth and then I contacted and they charged fee of 42$. They sent back token to my wallet address in 15 days. I hope you will get also.

Thanks for all the input
As some of you have stated, consider it a life lesson...and I have...
Note to self, don't try to get too cute when transferring crypto...
The $500 lost will be a reminder every time I click SEND on my transactions

It is nice to have found a very knowledgeable forum/community

Thanks again

BTW, binance still claims they can't recover the funds for me...not surprising...

Cheers all...

The transaction shows a successfully WITH the same wallet ID I have on my Binance account but never showed up as available. I'll check with binance support
crypto is a crazy thing, the more I find out, regarding the different blockchains and networks, the more I realize the less I know...
Thank goodness my mining has been making me consistent $$$

Thanks for your input

It means the coin was successfully sent but to the wrong chain so Binance will take the funds if the support refuse to help you in this situation but what you can do is to just create a support ticket and explain what actually happened, Binance returned funds to the owners on multiple occasions hopefully the luck will be with you.

The only way is for OP to contact binance customer service and ask for help, but in my opinion chances of OP getting a refund is unlikely, I've had a few cases where, like the OP, support wouldn't resolve issues related to us passing the wrong chain. Before transferring any assets on Binance, they always warn that if transferred to the wrong network, all assets will be lost and they are not responsible.

Mate, you could just send your MATIC to your binance exchange account and buy AVAX there on the trading market.
With that way, you can save more money because the transaction fee is cheaper than swapping between blockchain.
In my knowledge, you can't retrieve back your coin once you send it to wrong blockchain address.

Yes, in essence it will lose even if we make a complaint to a certain party or to the service party about the network, I don't think it can be returned because by mistake it is bad.
This is the importance of being careful and asking experienced people before acting wrongly because it is a very detrimental action, although it can still be a lesson for the future, but the regret in the heart will remain.
