CloudswapWallet addresses and networks
Why USDT on TRON and USDT on Ethereum are not the same thing, and how to avoid sending to the wrong place.
One coin, several networks
Many coins exist on more than one blockchain. USDT, for example, is issued on TRON, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Solana and others. Each version lives on its own network, and a transfer only works inside one network.
That is why every coin in the swap form shows its network next to its name. The network you pick is the network the coins will be sent on.
How to check your address
Before you paste an address, check that your wallet shows the same network you selected in the form.
- TRON addresses start with T and are 34 characters long.
- Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain addresses start with 0x and are 42 characters long. They look identical, so the network setting in your wallet is what decides.
- Bitcoin addresses start with 1, 3 or bc1.
- Solana addresses are 32 to 44 characters of letters and digits without a prefix.
Copy, never type
Always copy an address from your wallet and paste it. After pasting, compare the first and last few characters with the original: some malware replaces addresses in the clipboard.
