1. BTC in Different Networks

(1) BTC Chain: KuCoin supports BTC-Segwit form(starts with "bc") and BTC form( starts with "3")deposit addresses, and the withdrawal function supports withdrawals in three formats.

  • BTC-SegWit: The address starts with "bc". One of the main features of this format is that it is case-insensitive (the address only contains 0-9, az), so it can effectively avoid confusion and make it easier to read.
  • BTC: The address starts with "3", it supports more complex functions than the Legacy address, in order to be compatible with the old version.
  • Legacy: The address starts with "1", which is the original address format of Bitcoin and is still in use today. KuCoin does not support this format of the deposit address.

(2) TRON Chain: The address starts with "T". The deposit and withdrawal of this address only support the TRC20 chain and can't withdraw to the address of other chains.

(3) KCC chain: The address starts with "0x". The deposit and withdrawal of this address only support the KCC network and can't withdraw to the address of other chains.

(4) ARBITRUM chain: The address starts with "0x". The deposit and withdrawal of this address only support theARBITRUM network and can't withdraw to the address of other chains.

(5) OPTIMISM chain: The address starts with "0x". The deposit and withdrawal of this address only support theOPTIMISM network and can't withdraw to the address of other chains.
