How to Check If Your ADA Deposit to Binance Has Not Arrived
If your ADA transfer to Binance hasn't arrived, first check the transaction status and number of confirmations on a Cardano blockchain explorer. ADA typically requires at least 15 network confirmations before it is considered stable. If the on-chain status shows success and confirmations have been met but your Binance account still hasn't received the funds, you can go through the self-service recovery process by submitting the TxID.

Check On‑Chain Status on a Cardano Blockchain Explorer
What to do: Use the transaction ID (TxID) to check whether the transfer has been confirmed on a Cardano blockchain explorer.
How to do it:
Copy your TxID from the withdrawal history of the sending wallet or exchange.
Open a Cardano blockchain explorer (such as Cardanoscan.io) and paste the TxID into the search bar.
Look at two key pieces of information:
Status: Must show "Success" for the on‑chain transaction to be complete. If it shows "Unconfirmed" or "Failed", the issue is on the sender's side – contact the platform you used to send the funds.
Confirmations: Binance usually requires at least 15 confirmations before crediting the deposit. If the required number of confirmations hasn't been reached, just wait.
Completion standard: Confirm that the transaction status is "Success" and the number of confirmations is 15 or more.
The ADA network requires at least 15 confirmations for a transaction to be considered stably included in a block. Only proceed with the following steps after the confirmations have been met but the deposit still hasn't shown up in your Binance account.
Verify the Deposit Address and Network
What to do: Confirm that the Binance ADA deposit address is correct and that the Cardano mainnet was selected as the transfer network.
How to do it:
Check the address: Look at the "Outputs" section on the blockchain explorer and see if the receiving address exactly matches the ADA deposit address you copied from Binance.
Check the network: Make sure you selected the Cardano mainnet when making the transfer. Binance's wallet format has undergone multiple upgrades, and all mainstream wallets now support deposits to Binance.
Completion standard: Confirm the address is correct and the network is the Cardano mainnet.
Prerequisite: You need to have the TxID of this transfer.
Common reasons for failure:
Wrong address: ADA addresses are case‑sensitive. A single mistyped character means the funds cannot be recovered.
Wrong network: Sending funds to Binance's ADA address via another network (such as BSC or ERC20) will result in the deposit not arriving because of the network mismatch.
Incompatible wallet format: A very small number of old wallets may still use the Byron address format. Binance has stated that it supports deposits from Shelley‑era wallets; it is recommended to use mainstream wallets.
Check Whether Binance Is Under Maintenance or Has Triggered a Risk Review
What to do: Rule out issues on Binance's side. System maintenance or security reviews can both delay the crediting of deposits.
How to do it:
Check maintenance announcements: Binance suspends deposits and withdrawals during ADA network upgrades. Once the maintenance is complete, deposits are processed automatically. You can search for "ADA" or "Cardano" on the Binance Announcements page to see if there is any network maintenance notice.
Check if a risk review has been triggered: Large deposits may trigger a security review, which can cause delays. This is usually completed automatically, taking anywhere from a few hours to one business day.
Completion standard: Confirm there is no maintenance announcement, or be clearly aware that your transaction is undergoing a security review.

If Over 1 Hour Has Passed After Meeting Requirements – Use Self‑Service Recovery
What to do: If the on‑chain confirmations have been met (≥15 confirmations), Binance has no maintenance notice, but over 1 hour has passed without the deposit appearing, submit a Binance self‑service recovery request.
How to do it:
Log into your Binance account and go to the "Deposit Not Credited" self‑service recovery page.
Paste the TxID and click Submit. If the system recognises the transaction, the coin, network, address and amount will be filled in automatically; if not, manually enter the relevant information.
After verifying the details are correct, submit the request. You can track the ticket status in Application Records.
If customer support requests additional materials (such as a video recording or the withdrawal record from the sending platform), follow the instructions provided.
Completion standard: Successfully submit the application and receive an application record number.
Prerequisite: The on‑chain transaction status is "Success" and the required number of confirmations has been met.
Risk reminders:
Self‑service recovery may not always be successful: If the deposit address was incorrect or the wrong network was used, Binance cannot retrieve your funds.
Recovery may involve a fee: If the funds are successfully recovered, a service fee may be charged.
Do not submit the same transaction repeatedly: Duplicate submissions for the same transaction will be rejected by the system. Simply go to Application Records to check the existing status.
How to confirm the matter is resolved: Check on a Cardano blockchain explorer that the transaction status is "Success" and the number of confirmations is ≥15. Log into Binance and check your ADA balance in the Spot Wallet. If over 1 hour has passed without the deposit being credited and you have verified the address and network are both correct, submit a self‑service recovery request and follow up on the status in Application Records. For a first‑time transfer, it is advisable to test with a small amount first.
