Where is my deposit? Why hasn't it arrived?

This article explains crypto deposit delays and how to resolve them

Updated over 5 months ago

Blockchain tech sometimes faces slowdowns and gets really busy, which can affect how well it works. It's important to get transaction confirmations to make sure everything is correct, and different networks or platforms might need different numbers of confirmations. It's a good idea to check their rules.

Usually, things get done in a set time, but when there's a lot of traffic – more transactions than the network can handle – things can slow down. This happens because blockchains work on their own, without anyone controlling them.

If your deposit hasn't appeared in your account, here's how to track it down:

Check Your Transaction Status:

1. Find your transaction hash from your wallet

2. Use a blockchain explorer to check confirmations:

•Bitcoin: blockchain.info or blockchair.com

•Ethereum: etherscan.io

•BSC: bscscan.com

•Polygon: polygonscan.com

Common reasons for delays:

•Insufficient confirmations - Wait for the required confirmations

•Network congestion - High traffic can slow processing

•Wrong network used - Check if you used the correct network

•Minimum amount not met - Ensure you sent enough cryptocurrency

•Maintenance period - Some networks may be temporarily offline

What to check:

•Correct address - Verify you sent to the right address

•Correct network - Ensure network matches your selection

•Transaction status - Check if transaction is confirmed on blockchain

•Amount sent - Verify it meets minimum requirements

When to contact Support:

•Transaction is confirmed but not credited after 2 hours

•You sent it to the wrong address

•You used the wrong network

•Transaction shows as failed

Information to provide support:

•Transaction hash (TXID)

•Cryptocurrency and network used

•Amount sent

•Time of transaction

•Screenshots of transaction details
