Why this site exists
There is no shortage of "what is blockchain" explainers. But the losses that actually hit beginners hard don't come from not understanding whitepapers — they come from hitting the wrong option in a network dropdown, having a clipboard-hijacking trojan swap out the destination address, or sending a transfer without a required Memo. Any one of those mistakes can wipe a meaningful amount, and on-chain transactions don't come with an undo button.
What's strange is how little focused writing exists on this exact stretch of the journey. Most tutorials gloss over the withdrawal step as if it's just a few button clicks. We've seen too many people learn the hard way on those "few clicks," so we built this site around a single premise: cover the transfer piece thoroughly enough that a first-timer can get through it without losing anything.
Who writes here
The Yidaozhang editorial team is a small group of ordinary users who have collectively made a lot of on-chain transfers — and made a fair number of mistakes doing it. One of us spent a week untangling BEP20 coins accidentally sent to an ERC20-only address. Another paid a gas fee that dwarfed the amount being transferred. Someone stayed up watching a "pending" transaction for hours before realising that was just normal.
The byline on most articles is "Chen Lu" — a pen name, not a real identity. We are long-term active on-chain users, mostly from internet and technology backgrounds. We have no intention of inventing credentials, claiming institutional affiliations, or inflating team size to make the content seem more authoritative. A guide's credibility should come from whether the steps are correct and reproducible, not from a bio that can't be verified.
Yidaozhang is an independent editorial site. It is not affiliated with Binance or any exchange, wallet provider, or blockchain project in any way. It is not an official site for any of those. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
How guides are made
Three rules, applied to every guide:
- Walk through the process on a real account before publishing. If a guide covers withdrawals, we actually make a withdrawal. If it covers reading a block explorer, we pull up a real transaction and go through every field. Button names and screen layouts are verified against the actual interface.
- Date any figure that can go stale. Fees, confirmation requirements, deposit limits — these shift with network conditions and platform policy. We write ranges, attach verification dates, and remind readers to check the live platform display for anything time-sensitive.
- Correct mistakes publicly. Every change that affects understanding or procedure goes into the corrections log — what changed, why, when. No silent edits, no pretending the original never existed.
What we don't cover
This site covers operations and safety only: how to choose a network, how to move funds from A to B without losing them, how to diagnose what went wrong when they don't arrive. Everything outside that scope is out of scope:
We don't recommend coins, predict prices, or offer investment advice of any kind. You won't find "the next 100x" or "is now a good time to buy" here — not because we're being cautious, but because those are judgements we genuinely don't have, and we're sceptical of anyone who claims to make them reliably. What to buy, how much, and when: that's entirely your call.
How the site is funded
Revenue comes from Binance's referral programme: if you register on Binance through our link or code BN3233 and make trades, Binance passes a share of its fee revenue to us as a referral commission. Your costs are unchanged — that share comes out of Binance's cut, not yours. The Binance Web3 Wallet referral link uses the same code; same mechanism. This is the only revenue source; there are no paid posts and no advertising slots.
Two points worth making explicit. First, the referral relationship doesn't shape what we write: guides will flag Binance's limitations and friction points — how long a withdrawal review can take, which network options trip people up — without softening anything. Second, you are entirely free to ignore the code: nothing on this site is paywalled, and the guides work the same whether or not you ever use it. Full terms are in the disclaimer and disclosure.
Get in touch
Corrections, partnership enquiries, and copyright matters: email [email protected]. Details are on the contact page. One thing worth flagging upfront: we have no customer support function and we will never reach out to anyone proactively. Anyone who contacts you claiming to be "Yidaozhang support" is running a scam.
