What Is Binance Smart Retrieval?
Binance's Smart Retrieval feature assists users in recovering mistakenly deposited assets across multiple blockchain networks. Currently supported chains include:
- MATIC (Polygon)
- TRX (Tron)
- BSC (Binance Smart Chain)
- FTM (Fantom)
- ETH (Ethereum)
- HT (Huobi Token)
(More networks will be added progressively.)
How It Works
If a user deposits funds to an incorrect address (e.g., unsupported token or wrong network), they can initiate an automated refund process by clicking "Retrieval Now" and paying a 5 USDT fee. The recovery may take up to 14 business days.
