**Describe the problem:**  
Setting up wallet sync’s and address format is invalid

**Which exchange/wallet is this regarding?**  
BNB

**How did you import data into this wallet?**  
Added address to Koinly to autosync by copy paste function

**What have you tried to fix this so far?**  
Re-entererd, checked the BNB blockchain to verify it works

It works when the address is checked on Binance chain

Same thing happens for me. I found a fix by choosing “Binance DEX” instead of “Binance Smart Chain” on Koinly. The address is recognized then with no error. Hope this helps!
