User Appeals for Help | Token Recovery Controversy Erupts on MEXC
Edited By

An urgent plea for assistance from a MEXC user reveals a potential issue with token deposits on the platform, raising questions about MEXC's recovery policies. On March 26, 2025, a frustrated user reached out to the r/MEXC_official community seeking guidance after their $OM tokens were allegedly deemed "burned" by customer support, sparking a heated debate within the crypto community.
What Happened?
The user sent Mantra ($OM) tokens via the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) to an address that they believed belonged to MEXC. However, after realizing the blunder of not bridging the tokens first, they were informed by MEXC support that the assets were unrecoverable.
"These tokens are burned," support reportedly stated, invoking a common fear among crypto traders—loss of assets through missteps. But many in the community argue that if the tokens remain visible on BscScan, hope for their recovery still exists.
Community Response
In an atmosphere of mixed sentiment, members of the r/MEXC_official forum bounced around ideas. Some feel helpless; they express that attempts to get MEXC's attention have been disheartening. One user noted, "I have tried and got no response." On the other hand, optimism pervades the screen as others share success stories, with one mentioning recovery after a similar incident.
"This sets a dangerous precedent if they can’t retrieve tokens stuck due to a network error," a concerned community member stated.
Users expressed a combination of caution and resolve. It's became clear that the need for clarity on MEXC's recovery capabilities is urgent. Observations reveal that as many sympathize with the user, they question MEXC's customer service process.
MEXC's Recovery Policy + DEX+ Capabilities
The core of the issue lies in MEXC's own guidelines. According to the platform’s support page, there is a procedure for recovering deposits made on unsupported networks, but it requires detailed identity verification and a submission process—inviting skepticism as users wonder about its effectiveness. Community members recognize that the ability of MEXC to manage assets via their DEX+ feature could provide a pathway to resolving such mishaps. After all, if $OM is listed on BSC, why can’t MEXC tap into that?
Some experts feel hopeful noting that previous recoveries show potential for user support from customer service.
