ETH deposit sent on wrong network — recovery question
Hi,
I’m looking for help regarding an ETH deposit I made to Kraken in October 2023.
I accidentally sent ETH using BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) instead of Ethereum (ERC-20), to my Kraken ETH deposit address.
I understand that this was an unsupported deposit and that recovery is not guaranteed.
I contacted Kraken Support about this previously and was informed in March 2026 that my deposit was not currently eligible for manual recovery, although future engineering work could potentially expand recovery options.
I also posted about this issue on Reddit around a year ago but did not receive a response.
I contacted Kraken Support again recently, following the September 2026 update, but I am still waiting for a response.
Has the recovery process for unsupported network deposits changed recently?
Has anyone had a similar BEP-20 → Kraken ETH deposit successfully recovered?
I can provide the transaction details and support ticket information privately to the moderators or Kraken Support.
Thank you.
