Getting something wrong happens. Hiding it is the real problem. This page lays out what we've changed: each entry dated, with what changed and why. It's how you can see how we treat accuracy, and decide for yourself how much to trust us.

Why we keep changing numbers to "go by Binance's page"

On-chain fees, minimum withdrawal amounts, and confirmation counts shift anytime with congestion and Binance's policy. Any exact number written in stone can already be wrong by the time you read it. So in the corrections below, you'll see us swap "fixed value" wording for "ballpark, and go by what the official page shows at the time" again and again. That's not us being vague — it's us not misleading you.

Change log

2026-07-17 · BEP2 (Beacon Chain) is retired and shouldn't be offered as a network

What changed: We pulled BEP2 / Beacon Chain out of the tools entirely — the network picker no longer lists it under BNB, the memo lookup dropped its "BNB · Beacon Chain / BEP2" entry, the network table lost that row, and the fee estimator and deposit troubleshooter had their wording brought in line. In the articles, warnings like "don't mix up BEP20 and BEP2" that treated it as a live network are now historical notes, with one consistent rule: go by the networks Binance currently lists and the receiving side supports.

Why: BNB Beacon Chain is retired. The Final Sunset hardfork took effect at block 384,544,850 on 2024-11-19, 06:00 UTC, and what it cut was the cross-chain link between Beacon Chain and BSC; the chain's last block is recorded as 385,251,927 on 2024-12-03, after which the Post-Fusion phase shut the validator nodes down, published the balance dump, and opened token recovery. Binance had already halted BEP2 withdrawals on 2024-11-01 and deposits on 2024-11-08. So BEP2 simply isn't selectable on the withdrawal page today — our old "both are there, be careful not to confuse them" framing was teaching a chain that was already on its way out, which is stale and can send people the wrong way. The one place BEP2 still matters: moving old assets stranded on the dead chain over to BSC through the official recovery tool. One clarification: BEP20 is the common network for BNB, but not the only one — Binance also supports BNB deposits and withdrawals on opBNB. Go by the networks Binance currently lists. The 2026-06-25 entry below is a true record of what we did at the time and stays as written.

2026-06-25 · Made "network" names more precise

What changed: Across the network-picking content, we replaced the loose "BSC network" with a clear split between "BEP20 (BNB Smart Chain)" and "BEP2 (Beacon Chain)," and added a line noting the two have different addresses and use cases — don't mix them up.

Why: A reader wrote in saying the withdrawal dropdown showed both BEP20 and BEP2, and our text — which only said "BSC" — left them confused. These really are different networks, and blurring them makes it easy to pick the wrong one and lose coins, so we got the names right and added the distinction.

2026-06-23 · "Fixed fee" changed to "go by Binance's page"

What changed: In a spot describing the TRC20 withdrawal fee, we swapped "the fee is fixed at X" for "the fee is very low; go by what Binance's page shows the moment you withdraw," and removed a leftover specific amount in the body.

Why: Withdrawal fees move with Binance's policy and on-chain conditions. Calling one "fixed" is both inaccurate and liable to mislead readers after a policy change. Describing it qualitatively plus "go by the official page" is what our no-hard-numbers rule calls for.

2026-06-21 · Confirmation counts changed from exact numbers to qualitative

What changed: In the arrival content, we changed "network X needs Y confirmations to land" into a qualitative "needs a few / a fair number of confirmations," and added "the exact count goes by what the block explorer and Binance's page show at the time."

Why: The confirmations needed aren't a constant — they vary by coin and by moment, and the exchange can adjust its crediting requirements. A number that looks precise actually makes it easier to misjudge arrival time. Qualitative wording plus a pointer to verify is the safer call.

Note: the above are the corrections from the site's early days. New corrections will keep getting added here in date order.
