Mistakes to Avoid
- No gas: Leave some ETH for future gas; a wallet with only USDC cannot pay for its next transaction on Ethereum.
- Wrong network: sending to an address on another chain can lose funds; see USDT networks explained.
- High slippage on small pools: check price impact before confirming; see what is slippage.
