Funds sent on wrong network
Does this article need to be translated?
If you're moving tokens around from one network to another, it's best to be careful about what you're doing, and always use a safe bridge.
However, accidents happen, so if you think you sent tokens on the wrong network, here are some steps you can take.
EVM-compatible tokens and networks
One of the cool things about your Secret Recovery Phrase is that it can be used on multiple networks, with the same address, provided the network is EVM compatible — in other words, uses the same technical configuration as Ethereum. Many popular networks are EVM compatible, such as Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Avalanche. Some notable networks that are not EVM compatible (or are working on becoming EVM compatible) include Klaytn, Algorand, and StarkNet.
So let's say you meant to send some tokens to a friend on Ethereum, but you sent them on Polygon instead. Good news — all your friend needs to do is switch networks to Polygon, and the tokens you sent should be there. They could then bridge them to Ethereum, and use them as they originally intended. In this scenario, the tokens aren't lost.
