The same coin can travel over different blockchains, and the wallet's network support decides how much choice you have. Here is what that choice gives you, and what it does not change.

Some services accept a coin on only one network. Others accept the same coin on several, for example USDT on TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20 and TON. The coin is the same in each case, but each network is a separate blockchain with its own addresses and its own transfer costs. Support for one network means one route in; support for several means you choose the route.
| What you look at | One network | Several networks |
|---|---|---|
| Choice of cost | Only the fee of that one network | You can pick the cheaper network |
| Matching the sender | The sender must use that network | Easier to match the sender's network |
| Network must match on both sides | Yes | Yes |
| Risk of a wrong-network mistake | Lower, since there is one option | Still present, so check before sending |
Transfer costs differ from network to network, so a wallet with more supported networks lets you deposit on the cheaper one. If a service accepts your coin on only one network, you pay whatever that network charges. Before you send, check the fee your sending platform shows for each network. Also look at the minimum deposit for that network, because amounts below it are not credited.
The person paying you often holds funds on a particular network, and moving them elsewhere costs them time and fees. If your wallet accepts that network, they can send directly, with no extra conversion step. This is convenient when you receive payments from several people who each use a different network. With a single supported network, you might have to ask everyone to change how they send.
No. Each deposit address belongs to one network, and a transfer must use the network the address was issued for. Sending through a different network will not arrive and cannot be reversed. Blockchain transfers are irreversible, so nobody can bring back a transfer sent the wrong way. More networks give you more choice, but the network must still match on both sides of every single transfer.
Nexus Pay is a crypto wallet with a Visa card, opened in Telegram through the @nexuspaymybot bot. It holds USDT, USDC, BTC and ETH. USDT and USDC can be deposited via TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20 and TON, while BTC and ETH use their own networks. Each network has a minimum deposit shown in the app, and deposits are credited automatically after the network confirms them, from a few minutes to about an hour depending on the blockchain.
Run through a short check before every transfer:
If the networks do not match, stop and change one side. With Nexus Pay you can also swap coins inside the wallet at 0%, with the amount you receive shown before you confirm, so the coin you deposit does not have to be the one you end up holding.
In Telegram, in a minute, with no paperwork.
