What Happens if USDT Is Sent on the Wrong Network?

Short answer: If the sender picks a network the receiving platform doesn't support for that address, funds can be delayed or — in the worst combinations — unrecoverable. Prevention is trivial: match the network label on both sides and send a test first.

The Detail

The good news: Monica supports the four networks that matter (TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20, Solana and Base), each with its own clearly-labelled address, so the classic mistakes are hard to make. The failure mode that remains is sending to a network address of the wrong type from an exchange that doesn't validate — which the $10 test-transfer habit catches before real money moves. If something does go wrong, contact support immediately with the transaction hash; recoverability depends on the specific combination.
