IBC Protocol & IBC Transfer

Common FAQs about IBC protocol and IBC Transfer

How to do IBC transfers from my wallet?

Click [Send] in your Keplr Wallet and select the asset you want to transfer. Then choose “Cross-Chain Send” from the options and select the destination chain.

 
 

Can I perform IBC Transfers to Centralized Exchanges like Binance?

No, if you perform IBC transfer to a Centralized Exchange address, your funds will be lost.

 
 

Are the Channel IDs the same for every chain?

No, every chain has its own channel (or even multiple channels per chain).

 
 

How do I know which channel to use?

Please refer to the “Find the Right IBC Channel for Transfers” article on Keplr HelpDesk.

 
 

How long does a transfer take to complete?

It depends on the current status of the network and relayer. It should not exceed 1 minute, but during times of high congestion, it may take much longer.

 
 

How can I know that the transfer was successful?

You can track the transaction status in Keplr Wallet’s Home page after sending the transaction. Or you can search the transaction ID in the block explorer like Mintscan.

 
 

My IBC transaction is successful - but it's not showing up on the other end!

Each chain has its own IBC channel connected by relayers. Hopefully your chain's team is managing their relayers well, but sometimes there can be some delays. You may need to reach out to that chain's tech team and request that they fire up the relayer connected to the channel you used to send the assets.
