When withdrawing cryptocurrencies from exchanges, you'll often encounter multiple "Withdrawal Network" options like Polygon, BSC, and Heco. Many users opt for networks with lower transaction fees, only to discover their tokens never arrive in their imToken wallets despite successful exchange withdrawals.
Why This Happens
The core issue stems from network mismatch between:
- The withdrawal network selected on the exchange (e.g., BSC)
- The active network in your imToken wallet (e.g., ETH)
👉 Essential guide to blockchain networks
Key Facts About Compatible Chains
- Networks like BSC, Polygon, and Heco share Ethereum's address format
- Exchanges cannot verify if your target wallet network matches the selected withdrawal chain
- Always choose "ETH" or "ERC20" when sending tokens to Ethereum wallets
Step-by-Step Recovery Guide
1. Switching to BSC Network in imToken
- Open your ETH wallet's asset page
- Tap the "Ethereum" label at the top
- Select "BNB Smart Chain" from the dropdown
2. Adding Misplaced Tokens
Navigate to the BSC wallet's asset page and:
- Click "+" to access asset management
Check "My Assets" for the missing token:
- If visible: Tap "+" to add
If missing: Select "Custom Token" and enter:
- Token contract address
- Symbol and decimal places (auto-filled when available)

- Returning to Ethereum: Tap "BNB Smart Chain" at the top and select "Ethereum"
FAQ Section
Q: Why can't I see my tokens after switching networks?
A: Ensure you've both switched networks AND added the token contract address.
Q: How do I get BNB for gas fees?
A: Purchase BNB on exchanges or use decentralized swap services.
Q: Is my ETH address the same on BSC?
A: Yes, compatible chains use identical address formats.
Q: Can I recover tokens sent to wrong networks permanently?
A: Recovery is possible when networks share address formats, but not for incompatible chains.
