Understanding Crypto Networks and Addresses Follow
In Brave Wallet, you can hold a variety of different digital currencies on a range of blockchain networks. It’s important to ensure that you’re always sending or receiving funds on the appropriate networks. Sending tokens to the wrong network may result in permanent loss of funds. Brave Wallet will help remind you of these details when sending or receiving assets, but we also encourage users to get familiar with common types of transfers for a better understanding of Web3.
For the most up-to-date list of supported Brave Wallet features, please check the Brave Features page .
Brave currently supports the following networks:
Ethereum and EVM-compatible
ERC-20 tokens are the main Ethereum token standard. Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency, ETH, and ERC-20 tokens can be used on the Ethereum network.
In addition, Ethereum addresses are interoperable, meaning you can use the same address across all EVM-compatible networks. Once you have an Ethereum address, it can be used on any other EVM-compatible chain like Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Fantom, Optimism, or Aurora.

Solana
SPL tokens are the Solana token standard. Solana’s native cryptocurrency, SOL, and SPL tokens can only be used on the Solana network.
Filecoin
Filecoin’s native cryptocurrency, FIL, is the only asset that can be transferred on the Filecoin network.
Bitcoin
NEVER send tokens directly from one network to another
- Sending tokens directly to another network could result in the permanent loss of funds.
- Ethereum addresses are interoperable, meaning you can use the same address across all EVM-compatible networks, but your transactions and assets are specific to each network.
- You will likely need a bridge in order to transfer assets across different networks.
