🚨 I didn't expect that it's already 2025, and I still made such a rookie mistake. I'm really crying over my own foolish operation——

This morning was supposed to be a small matter: I wanted to consolidate that bit of scattered change on-chain, transfer it back to Binance, wrap things up, and keep it tidy.

The first few transactions went smoothly, BSC, ARB, Polygon, everything was smooth sailing. Until the last transaction——IMX-ETH.

I waited for almost 5 minutes, the on-chain confirmation was done, but Binance remained silent.

I thought it was stuck on-chain, but as I waited and thought, the more I felt something was off. I opened the transaction record and took a closer look——

Oh my god, I used Immutable zkEVM, but Binance's ETH doesn't support withdrawals from this chain at all!

Suddenly my head buzzed, two words: it's over. I could almost hear the sound of funds flowing away through my fingers.

I opened Binance's self-service recovery page and saw the fee was 200U, while the bit of ETH I transferred was worth exactly 200U...

Goodness, recovering it would be like throwing water into a bottomless pit.

After weighing it for a minute, I decided to give up; forget it, no need to look for it.

Let’s wait until ETH rises to 1wu before talking, or maybe @binance will one day be merciful enough to support IMX-ETH withdrawals, that would be a glimmer of hope. 😂

This incident also served as a reminder for me——

1⃣ Retail investors must always maintain a sense of awe when doing on-chain operations. The more chains there are, the more pitfalls there are; the more familiar you are, the less safe it may be.

2⃣ Do not operate when tired, and do not casually operate when your mind is busy with other things. Treat every step as if you are a beginner and double-check carefully.

3⃣ Consolidating wallets is a meticulous task. Sometimes slowing down is actually more stable; stability is the only way to combat long-term volatility.

This market is already tough enough; don’t trip yourself up again.

Experiencing this once is enough; don’t learn from my mistakes, really!
