# Sent to the wrong network

> What to do when a deposit went to the right address on the wrong chain.

This is the one mistake that actually happens, so it has its own page and its own
path through support.

## The short version

**The money is not lost.** It is sitting at the same address on the chain you
actually sent it on. Ace Up can recover it by hand, and does. It takes days
rather than minutes, because a person has to do it.

## What to do

**1. Do not send anything else**

A second wrong deposit doubles the work and does not speed anything up.

**2. Message support with two facts**

Open **/support** in the bot and choose the wrong-network path. Support needs:

* **which network** you actually sent on
* **the transaction hash**

Those two things are enough. Without them nothing can start.

**3. Wait**

Recovery is manual. You will be told when it is done. Chasing it does not
make it faster, and support will tell you plainly if the particular case is
not recoverable.

## What counts as the wrong network

| What you sent | What happens |
| - | - |
| An SPL token or wrapped SOL to your Solana address | Not credited. It is a different asset at your address. Recoverable by hand. |
| SOL to your ETH address, or the reverse | The address formats differ between the two chains, so this is normally caught by your own wallet before it sends. |

## How to not do it again

The deposit screen prints the chain ID and links the explorer for exactly this
reason. Before you send:

* Check your wallet's network selector says the same chain the deposit screen
  says.
