Networks & confirmations

Crypto Networks Explained: ERC20 vs. TRC20 vs. BEP20

A cryptocurrency and the blockchain network carrying it are separate choices. For example, a token may be available on multiple networks, but Metaspins only accepts the options currently listed in its Cashier.

Network names and token standards

ExampleMeaning
Ethereum / ERC20Ethereum is the blockchain; ERC20 is a common token standard used on it.
TRON / TRC20TRON is the blockchain; TRC20 is a token standard used on it.
BNB Smart Chain / BEP20BNB Smart Chain is the blockchain; BEP20 is a token standard used on it.

These are examples, not a list of supported Metaspins deposit options. Check the Cashier for availability.

Match the network before sending

  1. Select the currency in Cashier > Deposit.
  2. Choose an available network and copy the displayed address and any Tag or Memo.
  3. Select that exact network in the sending wallet or exchange.
  4. Check the minimum amount and fees before confirming.

A similar-looking address does not prove that networks are interchangeable. An incorrect network can prevent crediting and recovery may be impossible. Ask support before sending if you are unsure.
