Does ChainDeposit guarantee my deposit will be recovered?

No. We explain how the chains work and what is generally recoverable, but the receiving operator or exchange is always the authority on your specific transaction. We never promise an outcome.

Where does your data come from?

Two layers: protocol-level facts (memo requirements, network families, block times) that are properties of the chains; and per-operator specifics that we verify first-hand or from official sources, each stamped with a date and source. Anything unverified is withheld, not guessed.

Methodology: how we verify and what we won't claim

ChainDeposit covers a high-stakes, panicky moment — money that might be stuck. That makes accuracy and honesty non-negotiable. Here's exactly how our information is built and where its limits are.

Two layers of data

Our deposit verdicts rest on two distinct kinds of information:

Protocol-level facts — which coins use a destination tag/memo, which networks belong to which family, and typical block times. These are properties of the blockchains themselves, not of any casino, and they drive the core verdict in our checker.
Per-operator specifics — supported networks, minimums, confirmation thresholds and any recovery policy. These vary by operator and are verified individually.

What "verified" means here

A per-operator figure is published only when it carries a source and a verification date. Test-deposit measurements (such as real recovery turnaround) are confirmed first-hand. If we haven't verified something, we leave it out and mark the page as "specifics being verified" — we never fill a gap with a guess. We re-check published figures on a rolling basis because operators change their deposit settings.

How verdicts are derived

The checker compares the network you used with the one the operator credits, applies the network-family recoverability rule (same EVM chain family = sometimes recoverable; crossing to an incompatible family = generally not), and factors in missing memos. It expresses likelihood, not certainty — your operator's support is the final authority on your transaction.

Our stance on recovery scams

Funds can only ever be recovered by the operator that received them or the exchange that sent them — directly and for free. We will never recommend, and you should never pay, a third-party "recovery service". Any up-front fee or request for your seed phrase is a scam, full stop.

Affiliate transparency

Some outbound links are affiliate links (marked, and routed through /go/). If you open an account through them we may earn a commission. This never changes the deposit facts on any page, the verdicts in the checker, or what you pay. See about us.
