Unsupported protocols / networks for Kraken deposits

Currently, Kraken does not support deposits for:

Binance Chain (BNB) or the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) (BEP-20/BEP-2 Tokens)

BEP-20/BEP-2 tokens deposited to any Kraken address will not be credited and will result in the loss of your deposit. While BEP-20 tokens use the same address format as Ethereum they are separate networks. Binance also provides this warning on their withdrawal pages.

When withdrawing from a platform to Kraken (for supported tokens) ensure you are withdrawing the ERC-20 version.

Polygon (MATIC)

Only deposit and withdraw Polygon (MATIC) on the Ethereum (ERC-20) network or Polygon network. If you send a token via the Polygon chain that is not supported on the Polygon network your deposit will not be credited. You can review a list of our tokens and their supported networks in this article.
