<p>I purchased ada on binance us and for some dumb reason, I used the BEP2 network vs the Cardano network to send my ada on binance us to Daedalus/ledger. It all shows up in Daedalus as ADA but after reading some threads did I just convert this to a wrapped token vs a native token? I'm still pretty new to this and may be misunderstanding this, but I want to ensure the ada I have in my Daedalus wallet is the native token and not wrapped or pegged, and if it is what do I need to do to get back the native token? Thank you in advance.</p>

As long as you use the [Daedalus mainnet client](https://daedaluswallet.io/en/download/) and see your balance, you are using ADA.

To be absolutely sure you can copy your public address and look it up on the cardano explorer: <https://explorer.cardano.org/en/address?address=YOUR_ADDRESS>

Example:
<https://explorer.cardano.org/en/address?address=addr1qy273uqgsnv2v9hrllgp32g4gkxke85d8nsk4nup6t354kyluklkqpppvma530cs4se0gd46m5njrwtqraknat2ef9rq4v2my2>

There you'll be able to see your ADA balance
