Pitfalls to avoid | A cautionary case, not a firsthand account
Sending a small test amount first is good practice, but one successful transfer doesn’t mean you can send the next one carelessly. Changing networks or recipient addresses, or forgetting a platform-required Memo, can all cause problems.
Best practice: Even after the test deposit arrives, check every detail again before making a large transfer—especially that the receiving platform supports the network and any required memo. Don’t let one successful transfer become an excuse to be careless next time.
