When using USDT, why can’t on-chain records and platform account records be understood together as if they were the same?
After spending a long time working with Crypto, you often run into two kinds of information that seem to be about “records”:
One comes from blockchain explorers, and the other comes from account pages of specific service platforms.
They may both relate to the same asset, but the information they convey isn’t exactly the same.
1. What do on-chain records reflect?
Transactions on the blockchain can be looked up using publicly available information for the corresponding network.
When viewing, you typically need to confirm the specific network, the transaction identifier, and the relevant address information.
Different networks follow different rules, so you can’t ignore which network it’s on just by seeing the words “USDT.”
2. Platform account records are another layer of information
If the asset involves a particular service platform, there may also be corresponding account records within that platform.
This type of information doesn’t serve the exact same purpose as blockchain public records.
How specific business activity is recorded should be understood based on the platform’s official product documentation.
3. In a BiyaPay scenario, how should you approach this?
BiyaPay’s business scope relates to USDT, digital assets, and related services such as US stocks and Hong Kong stocks.
If you use one of these specific services, you should first confirm the product nature and the corresponding network or account arrangement, and then review the relevant records.
You can’t infer the status of all platform-internal business activities from just one on-chain transaction record; likewise, you can’t use a single record from a platform page to replace your understanding of the on-chain information.
4. First, distinguish where the information comes from
When researching Crypto products, you can start by asking:
Is this public on-chain data?
Or is it account information from a specific service platform?
Because the sources are different, the questions you can answer are also different.
Separating the two makes it easier to see the specific business clearly.
