To ensure the security and speed of your transactions, certain cryptocurrencies on Webot require a Memo (or Destination Tag). This guide covers everything you need to know to avoid delays or potential loss of funds.
1. Why is a Memo/Tag Necessary?
Most major exchanges use a "Main Wallet" to receive deposits for specific blockchains. Without a Memo, the system cannot distinguish your specific transfer from thousands of others.
The Address routes the funds to Webot.
The Memo/Tag ensures the funds are credited to your account.
Pro Tip: Think of the Address as the building's street address and the Memo as your specific Apartment Number. Both are required for the mail to reach you.
2. Common Tokens Requiring a Memo/Tag
While many tokens require a Memo, the following are the most common on Webot:
ATOM
XLM
EOS
XRP
Note: This list is not exhaustive. Cryptocurrency protocols evolve, and new tokens are added frequently. Always refer to the specific Deposit Page for your chosen token on Webot to confirm if a Memo is required.
3. How to Deposit with a Memo
Step 1: Locate your Deposit Address
APP: Click [Deposit] > [Receive from exchange/wallet]. Select your preference token.
WEB: Navigate to [Wallet] > [Receive Crypto]. Select your preference token.
Step 2: Acknowledge the Warning
If the token requires a Memo/Tag, a safety prompt will appear. You must check the box to acknowledge this requirement before the address is revealed.
Step 3: Copy and Paste
You will see two distinct fields: Deposit Address and Deposit Memo/Tag.
Always use the copy button to avoid manual typing errors.
Ensure both fields are pasted correctly into your external wallet's sending interface.
4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What should I do if I forgot to include the Memo/Tag for a Webot deposit?
A: If you missed the Memo/Tag, your funds will not be credited automatically. You must submit a [Deposit Recovery Form] with your transaction details for manual verification. Please note that an administrative processing fee will be applied for the recovery of these funds.
Q: If the receiving platform does not require a Memo/Tag, will it affect my withdrawal?
A: No. If the receiving platform or private wallet explicitly states that no Memo/Tag is required, you may leave the Memo field blank on the Webot withdrawal page. If the system requires a value to proceed, you can enter a simple string of numbers (e.g., "123456"), but leaving it blank is the standard practice for non-memo addresses.
Q: What if I am withdrawing to another exchange?
A: Always check the recipient's deposit page first. If they provide a Tag or Memo, you must include it. Failure to do so may result in the loss of your assets once they leave the Webot platform.
Q: Why does the system say my XRP address is "Invalid"?
A: This is likely because your XRP address is not yet activated. According to XRP Ledger rules, a new address must hold a minimum reserve (usually 10–20 XRP) to be recognized on-chain. Please transfer the required activation amount from another platform to your wallet first before attempting a withdrawal from Webot.
5. Essential Reminders for Safe Transfers
Terminology: Remember that a Memo might be called a Tag, Payment ID, or Label on other platforms—they all serve the same purpose.
Verify First: Always check the Webot deposit screen for the most up-to-date requirements for any token.
Accuracy: Double-check every character. Accuracy is the responsibility of the user, and manual recovery is a time-consuming process.
