The correct network will depend on the type of cryptocurrency that you are withdrawing. Not all tokens are compatible with all networks, here is a resource to help. Typically, if the network is available to select, your token is supported on that network but you will need to ensure your wallet address is in the right format.

If you are unsure about the network you need to choose, please contact our support team.

Unfortunately, we are unable to verify if the network you’re using is compatible with the token you have sent. Some wallet addresses are easy to identify as being incompatible but many are not. Once a transaction is initiated and the funds leave our platform, we are unable to reverse it. Transactions that leave our platform are irreversible so always double-check when making a crypto withdrawal.

The yield is calculated based on the Aave lending market’s current supply and demand. On the Aave platform, yield is earned in aTokens. When you use Block Earner, just like when you use Aave, aTokens are simply added to your account according to the market rate for that token.
