How to Deposit UNI to Binance? Address and Network Verification

To deposit UNI to Binance, you first need to confirm you are using the Ethereum (ERC20) network. Binance has primarily supported the ERC20 deposit channel for UNI since listing the token in 2020. If you send funds via BSC or other unsupported networks, the assets will not be credited automatically. Before initiating the transfer, double-check that the selected network on Binance's deposit page is correct.

1. Confirm Which Network Your UNI Is Held On

What to do: Before making a deposit, verify the network that your UNI stored in your wallet or withdrawal platform is running on.

How to do it:

UNI is the governance token of Uniswap, natively deployed on the Ethereum mainnet. Open your wallet or withdrawal page to confirm the network details.

Scenario A: Your UNI is on the Ethereum mainnet. This is UNI's official native network. You must select Ethereum (ERC20) on Binance's deposit page, as this official deposit channel has been available on Binance since UNI was listed in 2020.

Scenario B: Your UNI is on other networks (such as BSC, Polygon). If you use a non-ERC20 network to send UNI but select ERC20 on Binance's deposit page, the networks will not match, and your funds will not be credited automatically. You will need to submit a manual self-service recovery request to retrieve your assets.

Completion criteria: You can clearly confirm whether your UNI is held on the Ethereum mainnet or other third-party networks.

Prerequisite: Your Binance account has completed full KYC verification.

Common failure reason: While UNI is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, wrapped versions of UNI also exist on other blockchains. UNI on different networks are treated as separate unrelated assets, and cannot be mixed for deposit. Selecting the wrong network is the #1 most common cause of failed UNI deposits.

2. Retrieve Your UNI Deposit Address on Binance

What to do: Log into your Binance account, navigate to the UNI deposit page, select the Ethereum (ERC20) network, and get your unique deposit address.

How to do it:

  1. Log into the Binance mobile app or web platform, go to [Wallet] - [Deposit].

  2. Search for "UNI" and select Uniswap (UNI) from the results. If you cannot find UNI in the search, go back to step 1 to reconfirm that your UNI is the official native token on Ethereum mainnet.

  3. Select network: Choose Ethereum (ERC20).

  4. The page will display your dedicated UNI deposit address, copy this full address.

Note: UNI deposits do not require a Memo, you only need to provide the deposit address.

Completion criteria: You have obtained your ERC20 UNI deposit address from Binance, and confirmed the selected network is explicitly marked as Ethereum (ERC20).

Prerequisite: Your Binance account has completed full KYC verification.

Common failure reason: Binance's deposit page may pre-select a default network that does not match the network your UNI is stored on. Choosing the wrong network remains the top cause of failed UNI deposits.

3. Initiate the Transfer From Your Sending Platform

What to do: Go to the wallet or exchange that holds your UNI, paste the Binance deposit address you copied, and submit the transfer. The network selected on your sending platform must be 100% identical to the network you selected on Binance.

How to do it:

Withdraw from an on-chain wallet:

  1. Open your crypto wallet, and confirm the current active network is Ethereum Mainnet.

  2. Paste the Binance UNI deposit address you copied earlier.

  3. Confirm the required gas fee, then submit the transaction. As an ERC-20 token, UNI transfers require ETH in your wallet to pay for Ethereum network gas fees.

Withdraw from another crypto exchange:

  1. Log into your withdrawal platform, select UNI as the token to withdraw.

  2. Paste the Binance UNI deposit address you copied earlier.

  3. You must explicitly select Ethereum (ERC20) as the withdrawal network.

  4. Submit your withdrawal request.

Completion criteria: Your transfer has been submitted successfully, and you have obtained the unique TxID (transaction hash) for this operation.

Prerequisite: The sending platform has sufficient UNI balance, and enough ETH to cover the required gas fees for the transfer.

Common failure reason: The network selected on your sending platform does not match the network selected on Binance's deposit page. Double check the full network name one last time before you confirm the transfer.

4. Verify Transaction Status on Etherscan

What to do: Once you have the TxID, check the transaction status on Etherscan to confirm it shows "Success", then return to Binance to check if the deposit has been credited.

How to do it:

  1. Open Etherscan at etherscan.io.

  2. Paste your TxID to view transaction details, confirm the following two points:

    • Status: Must show as Success

    • Token: Confirm the transferred asset is UNI

  3. After confirming the transaction is fully successful on-chain, go back to Binance, navigate to [Wallet] - [Deposit History] to check the deposit status. The Ethereum network requires 12 to 20 block confirmations for UNI deposits, which usually takes 10 to 30 minutes to be fully credited to your account.

Completion criteria: Your Binance account balance updates to show the newly deposited UNI amount.

Prerequisite: You have submitted the transfer and obtained the valid TxID.

Common failure reason: Trying to look up an ERC20 UNI transaction on BSCScan. Native UNI on Ethereum can only be tracked on Etherscan.

Recommended next steps:

Before depositing UNI, first confirm that the UNI contract address in your wallet matches the official Uniswap contract address. Then go to Binance's deposit page, select Ethereum (ERC20) to get your dedicated deposit address, and make sure your sending platform also selects the Ethereum network. UNI is natively deployed on Ethereum mainnet, sending via other networks may lead to permanent fund loss. For your first UNI deposit, we recommend transferring a small test amount first, confirm it is credited successfully, then send the remaining full amount.
