USDT on TON and USDT on Base may share the same ticker, but the network matters. You cannot assume that a regular transfer on one chain will deliver the intended asset on another.

Here are five checks worth making before a cross-chain swap:

1. Confirm both networks.

Make sure TON is the source and Base is the intended destination.

2. Verify the asset.

Check that you selected the correct token and route, not an unrelated asset with a similar name.

3. Review the expected output.

Look at the amount you expect to receive, not just the amount you send.

4. Understand the costs.

Review the quoted result and any applicable fees before authorizing the transaction.

5. Read the instructions and verify the details.

Confirm the route is currently supported and follow the official interface carefully.

Use the current instructions and verify the token, network, output, and transaction details before proceeding. Supported routes and conditions can change.

One important reminder: Never share your wallet recovery phrase or private keys with someone claiming they need them to help complete a transfer.

Cross-chain transactions can be useful, but understanding the route is part of using them responsibly.

What do you check first when moving assets across chains: the network, the fees, or the expected amount received?
