A member of the r/MEXC_official community has raised alarms, revealing a desperate situation over a deposit issue involving $OM tokens. They sent the tokens from the Binance Smart Chain to what they believed was an Ethereum deposit address on MEXC, only to be told by customer support that the tokens were "burned."
The Heart of the Matter
On March 26, 2025, a post on Reddit detailed the confusion that arose when a user transmitted MANTRA ($OM) tokens to the ETH address 0x04d71216ebf0b1f7f2a6a8a54919a91dbdf36e8e. Despite assurances from a source that it was correct, the user mistakenly sent the tokens from BSC, skipping the necessary bridging process.
"I don’t believe the tokens are actually burned," stated the user, highlighting their conviction after investigating MEXC's recovery policies. The transaction hash, readily available for verification, confirms the successful transfer of funds to the address in question.
Interestingly, this case sparks discussions about the platform's responsibility in scenarios where users mistakenly send tokens across networks. The $OM tokens, yet to appear in a null address typically indicating "burning," are still shown on BSC.
Community's Reactions and Sentiments
In the following days, the community's feedback revealed a mix of sentiment around the situation. Some shared their own experiences dealing with similar issues on MEXC, often echoing a sense of frustration over support responses. Others offered advice to the original poster on how to escalate the matter.
"Sending BSC tokens to an ETH address can cause issues… but they shouldn’t declare them as burned!"
