Important: Potential Binance Delisting

Binance has informed me that TEX addresses are currently only being rolled out to new users. In Artkor’s case, Binance says he likely either never retrieved a ZEC address before or did so a long time ago. Therefore, when he accessed the deposit page, he needed to get a new address, which is now a TEX address.

@artkor @squirrel Can you please confirm if this was your experience?

I did create a new account (reactivate) to check since the previous one was deleted by me about a year ago. By the way, the deposit was not successful. I sent some ZEC deposit was accepted, but after 15 confirmations I was informed in an email that it would be refunded due to some restrictions which I still plan to clarify. The email said it was regional restrictions and the exchange account said it was my account restrictions. I haven’t dealt with this yet and clicked on the special deposit refund button on the refund form.

  • I just love experimenting with everything related to user experience for Zcash.

So refund just worked as Binance wanted! I think it is better than freezing the deposit and waiting for 30 days…

Correct, it has been over a year since I used Binance. TEX address deposit using Ywallet was successful. Hoping to never have to use it again :slight_smile:

For anyone interested, Bison Wallet will have orchard support with ZEC/DCR ZEC/USDC(polygon). It will have Market Maker & Arbitrage bots.
zcashd is required so set up your nodes now!

Yes, this was likely due to jurisdictional restrictions, and not specific to Zcash. If you DM me your transaction ID, I can ask Binance to confirm.

If Binance started deploying TX addresses then it has a good chance of not shutting down Zcash.

I’m happy with this news.

I’m working with Binance to test transfers from Gemini. If you have both a Gemini account and a Binance account with a TEX address, please DM me. Thanks!

You’ll need to contact Binance customer support. Currently, only Ywallet (and Zingo now, I believe) will allow for proper T2T transactions for interacting with the exchanges, and fees.

I used zingo. Never use zingo and binance. It is money and time loss.

Hi @den312. I saw that @Autotunafish responded to you. Have you reached out to Binance’s customer support team? Can you provide some additional information about your transaction and the response you received from Binance?

Thank you for providing this information. I’ll contact Binance now and give them your Case ID. Sometimes their response isn’t immediate, so please allow me a day or so. I’ll follow up with you once I have more information.

Thanks for the details! By the way, do you know if there are any plans for the Zashi wallet to add T2T support?

I do not, though it seems it would be fairly useful functionality.
(Even Zooko has confused zingo and zashi, dont worry!)

Yes; explicit ZIP 320 support was merged to librustzcash last week. We have also heard from a few users that it would be desirable to support this functionality for sending to arbitrary T-addresses, in order to make it possible to handle the case where other parties are enforcing the same rules as Binance but hasn’t upgraded to render ZIP 320 addresses to their users; if anyone has examples of exchanges or other kinds of services where they’ve encountered this and need this kind of functionality, please let us know. I’ve noticed that binance.us doesn’t seem to render ZIP 320 addresses yet, and I’m not sure what happens if one makes a deposit there directly from the shielded pool.
