OPTIONAL STEP - Selecting a Transfer Network
When making a coin withdrawal, some coins may have multiple different transfer networks available along with different transaction fees associated with that. We strongly recommend you to check with your external wallet provider as to whether they support the transfer network before making your coin withdrawal, failing to send via the correct network may result in a loss of funds.
