**Description:** \*\*Purpose:_so new comers and old don’t lose their money on transactions of coins not supported on destination addresses_ It seems to me with the sophisticated tracking like ethers and that if someone mistakenly sends usdt a token on the Ethereum network to an address that supports Ethereum network but doesn’t support the token usdt on the final hand off of the token the transaction should go into the failed mode instead of just dumping our money into a black whole I would be ok with losing the gas money because the work had been done but to drop the money of the transaction into a black he seems a bit ridiculous if u can track each step of the Blockchain data then there should be a last check ad balance verifying the handoff to the address as being supported to the address **Extension/Mobile/Bothboth:** **Images/Attachments:** ---

Hi @Bigtomms I understand the reason you share your feedback, I have been in that same situation ☹ at this moment that’s the way the blockchain works and it depends on the recipient platform if it supports it or not the recipient asset, however, it’s great feedback because is an issue that many users deal with often, so we will share it with the team 🧡 ---

Hi @danny64 did you send unsupported tokens to an exchange or what is the issue you are facing exactly? ☕ 🦊 ---

Yes I sent 190$ of usdt a coin from the Ethereum chain to PayPal they said they supported Ethereum I didn’t realize they didn’t support the Ethereum chain just the Ethereum coin itself. So it dropped it into a black hole is what I’m told neither platform can recover it for me ---

Yes in that situation there’s not much you can do if the platform said they can’t do anything regarding this. I feel compassionate for the unfortunate situation.
