Network Choice on MEXC Gets Trickier the Newer the Coin Is
An established coin on MEXC usually has several safe network options — a coin that listed last week might genuinely have just one, and picking wrong isn't reversible.

A long-established coin on MEXC typically supports several networks, giving some margin for error if the sending side and MEXC's selection are close but not perfectly matched in naming. A brand-new listing might support exactly one network, with no fallback if you guess wrong.
How to Actually Check
Open the coin's deposit page on MEXC and look at exactly which networks are listed today — not which ones you remember from a similar, more established coin — before assuming a network exists just because it's common elsewhere.

Contract Address Confusion Compounds the Risk
On a newly bridged token, the network mismatch risk pairs with contract-address confusion — the contract address differs per chain, so even copying the 'right-looking' address on the wrong network can send funds to a contract that was never meant to receive them.
A Safer Process for New Listings
Slow down on anything new:
- Check the deposit page fresh, don't rely on memory
- Confirm the exact network is listed for that specific coin today
- Send a small test amount first, always
- Wait for one full confirmation cycle before sending more
Why Breadth Cuts Both Ways on MEXC
MEXC's advantage — listing more coins faster than most rivals — is exactly what makes the network question sharper here than on an exchange with a smaller, more mature catalog.
