Select the appropriate network on your Metamask wallet

Copy the wallet address from your Metamask wallet
Once you have selected the appropriate network on your Metamask wallet, you will need to copy the deposit address from your Metamask wallet.
The deposit address for any of these networks will be the same, as they are all EVM-compatible networks.
However, to view your cryptocurrencies on a certain network, you will still need to add that network to your Metamask wallet.
If you are finding it hard to remember all of these long deposit addresses, you may want to consider simplifying them using Unstoppable Domains.
This allows you to send crypto to a .crypto or .wallet address, which makes it much easier to transfer cryptocurrencies between platforms!
Select the cryptocurrency that you wish to withdraw from Kucoin
Once you have copied the address from Metamask, you will need to go to ‘Overview‘, and then ‘Withdraw‘ on Kucoin’s platform.
Once you’re there, you can search for the cryptocurrency that you wish to withdraw.
You may want to note that you won’t be able to send BTC or SOL to your Metamask wallet.
Enter the transaction details and withdraw the cryptocurrency using your preferred network
The next step will be to enter the transaction details.
After pasting the deposit address from Metamask, KuCoin will show you the possible networks that you can use to withdraw to your wallet:
- Ethereum (ERC20)
You may want to note that you are only able to send your DAI via the ERC20 network only.
After choosing the ERC20 network, you will need to select the correct network to send your tokens with.
Receive the cryptocurrency in your Metamask wallet
After the transfer has been initiated, you will receive DAI in your Metamask Wallet.
The time taken to send DAI over will heavily depend on the congestion of the network that you used.
These are the general steps for how to send KuCoin to your Metamask wallet.
