How to Transfer Crypto from Any Exchange to KriptoK

Moving your crypto from a centralized exchange to KriptoK is straightforward once you understand the basics. Here's how to do it safely.

Before You Start: Network Selection is Critical

The most important rule: The network you choose on your exchange must match the network you select in KriptoK.

For example, if you're transferring USDT:

• Your exchange might offer: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum
• You must choose the same network in both apps

Sending on the wrong network can result in permanent loss.

Step 1: Open KriptoK and Tap Receive

In your KriptoK wallet, tap Receive.

Step 2: Select the Token and Network

Choose the token you want to receive. The network is displayed next to the token name.Make sure you select the correct network - it must match the network you'll use on your exchange.Common tokens like USDT, USDC, or ETH exist on multiple chains.

Popular options:

• Ethereum - Most widely supported
• Polygon - Low fees, fast
• Arbitrum - Low fees, fast
• BNB Chain - Low fees, widely supported
• Base - Low fees, growing support

Step 3: Copy Your Wallet Address

Once you've selected the token and network, KriptoK displays your receiving address (a long string of letters and numbers).

Tap Copy or use the QR code if your exchange supports it.

Step 4: Go to Your Exchange and Find Withdraw

Open your exchange app (Binance, BTCTurk, Paribu, Kraken, etc.) and locate the token you want to send.

Tap Withdraw or Send.

Step 5: Paste Your KriptoK Address

In the "Recipient Address" field on your exchange, paste the address you copied from KriptoK.

Security tip: Always verify the first 4 and last 4 characters after pasting. Malware can sometimes change clipboard contents.

Step 6: Select the Same Network

Your exchange will ask which network to use. This must exactly match the network you chose in KriptoK.

If you selected Polygon in KriptoK, select Polygon here.

Step 7: Enter the Amount

Decide how much to transfer. Your exchange will show:

• Amount to send
• Network fee
• Amount you'll receive

Note: Exchanges often add their own withdrawal fees on top of network fees. These can sometimes be higher than the actual blockchain fee, so it's worth comparing networks.

First-time tip: Send a small test amount first (e.g., $10-20) to confirm everything works correctly.

Step 8: Confirm the Withdrawal

Review everything carefully:

• Correct address
• Correct network
• Correct amount

Confirm the transaction. Your exchange may require 2FA (two-factor authentication).

Step 9: Wait for Confirmation

Blockchain transfers take different amounts of time:

• Solana: Under 30 seconds
• BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base: 1-3 minutes
• Ethereum: 2-10 minutes
• Bitcoin: 10-60 minutes

Your exchange will provide a transaction ID (TxID). You can track it on a block explorer.

Step 10: Check KriptoK

Once confirmed on the blockchain, your tokens appear in KriptoK automatically. Open the app and check your balance.

Common Issues and Solutions

"My crypto hasn't arrived"

• Check the transaction on a block explorer. Is it confirmed?
• Did you select the correct network in both apps?
• Some tokens may need to be manually added to your token list

"I sent to the wrong network"

• If you sent ETH on Ethereum but selected BNB Chain in KriptoK, your funds are on BNB Chain. Switch networks in KriptoK to access them.
• If you sent to a completely wrong address, funds cannot be recovered.

"Network fees seem high"

• Exchanges set their own withdrawal fees, which can vary significantly between platforms and networks.
• Compare different network options before withdrawing.

"My token isn't showing in my wallet"

• Your tokens may need to be imported manually. Go to your wallet, tap the filter icon, select Manage Assets, then Import Token. Select the correct network and enter the token's contract address.
