Common mistakes
Do not send the same transaction again to fix the first one.
Step-by-step checklist

What this does not prove
This problem does not automatically prove that a platform is a scam. It may be caused by fees, network settings, pending processing, minimum limits or normal verification.
Safety note
Never share seed phrases, private keys, wallet backup files or remote access to your device. Avoid platforms that ask for deposits to unlock free rewards.
Be careful with websites that promise unrealistic rewards, ask for deposits before withdrawal, or require suspicious wallet connections. Small reward sites should never need your seed phrase.
FAQ
What is the first thing to check for wrong network token visible in wallet?
Check the transaction status, payout method, selected network, minimum amount, fees and whether the destination supports the asset.
Is a visible balance the same as crypto received?
No. A dashboard balance is only useful after the funds can be withdrawn or received in a wallet or account you control.
Should I pay a deposit to fix the issue?
No. A separate payment to unlock a free reward or fix a payout problem is a major warning sign.
When should I stop using the site?
Stop if the rules keep changing, support asks for private keys or seed phrases, or the platform adds payment demands before withdrawal.
