Some networks have that protection built in. Some wallets are also better at protecting you from it.i am a new crypto user (but i am a tech pro, this is not confusing to me). I did find it wild to think that you can send a certain crypto currency to a specific address, but choose the wrong network, and your crypto/money is just gone, lost forever. does the same wallet address exist on multiple networks but belong to different users? that's insane, these wallet ids should be 100% unique.
imagine a credit card reader charging your mastercard $500 and your vendor saying "oh sorry i'm on the visa network, i didn't receive your payment" and your $500 is just gone forever, apparently it went to some anon honeypot in abu dhabi, and nothing in the process caught this or stopped it.
But they already broke rule #1 which is don't pay the vendor directly from Coinbase. So I don't have much faith they didn't screw something else up.
