Native & Primary Chains (Examples)
NDAX supports deposits/withdrawals on the native chains for major assets — for example:
- Bitcoin (BTC) — Bitcoin native network for deposits and withdrawals.
- Ethereum (ETH) — Ethereum mainnet for ETH and standard ERC-20 tokens.
- Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and other legacy chains — typically supported via their native networks.
These native networks are the foundation of NDAX’s custody offering and are commonly the primary option shown on the wallet pages for each asset. For transaction speed and fee planning, consult the NDAX withdrawal guidance and fees page. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Multi-Network Tokens & Layer-2 Chains
Some tokens (notably stablecoins and widely used tokens like USDC, USDT, and certain ERC-20 assets) are available on multiple networks. NDAX’s help documentation uses USDC as an example — USDC may be supported on Polygon (MATIC), Ethereum (ERC-20), and Binance Smart Chain (BEP-20), depending on NDAX’s current configuration for that asset. This multi-network approach gives users options to optimize fees and speed — but strictly follow the NDAX deposit network choice. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Action: When moving multi-network tokens, pick the same network displayed on NDAX’s deposit instructions for that token. Do not "mix and match" networks across platforms.
How Liquidity & Compliance Shape Supported Networks
NDAX evaluates candidate networks and tokens based on liquidity, security audits, and regulatory or compliance suitability for Canadian users. That vetting means the exchange may choose to support only specific token standards or a subset of a token’s available networks. Support decisions also affect trading pairs, withdrawal fee structure, and network options presented to users in the Wallets UI. NDAX periodically updates its list of supported assets and markets; check the platform announcements or “New Coins” blog for additions. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
