When making a cryptocurrency deposit on BitTap Exchange, you may be concerned about when your funds will be credited. This article explains the definitions of Deposit Time and Arrival Time, along with frequently asked questions to help you better understand the deposit process.
1. Deposit Time
Definition
Deposit Time refers to the moment when a user initiates a cryptocurrency transfer from a wallet or another exchange to BitTap Exchange. This time can typically be found in the transaction records or blockchain transaction details (TXID).
Example
- A user deposits USDT into their BitTap account at 12:00 from their personal wallet.
- The transaction is broadcast to the blockchain, generating a transaction hash (TXID). The timestamp at this moment is the Deposit Time.
Factors Affecting Deposit Time
- Deposit Platform: Different exchanges or wallets may have varying transaction processing times.
- Blockchain Network Congestion: When the network is busy, transactions may experience delays.
2. Arrival Time
Definition
Arrival Time refers to the moment when the deposit transaction has met the required number of confirmations on the blockchain and is successfully credited to the BitTap account. Different blockchain networks have different confirmation requirements, affecting the arrival time.
Example
- A user deposits USDT (ERC-20) at 12:00, which requires 10 block confirmations.
- By 12:10, the transaction reaches 10 confirmations, and BitTap processes the deposit, completing the arrival at 12:11.
Factors Affecting Arrival Time
Blockchain Confirmation Time
The time required for block confirmations varies by network:
- BTC Deposits: Requires 1-6 block confirmations, approximately 10-60 minutes.
- ETH/ERC-20 Deposits: Requires 10-15 block confirmations, approximately 5-10 minutes.
- TRC-20 Deposits: Typically requires 1 block confirmation, usually within 3 minutes.
- BEP-20 Deposits: Requires 2-5 block confirmations, typically 1-5 minutes.
Other Factors
- Deposit Network Selection: If the deposit network does not match the withdrawal network from the sending platform, funds may not be credited.
- Blockchain Network Status: If the network is congested, transaction confirmation times may increase.

3. How long does it usually take for a deposit to arrive?
