What is a Memo ID/Destination Tag?
Memo ID and Destination Tag technology is used to associate a transaction to a specific sender. This is helpful to the recipient, who can then identify various senders.
There are no major differences between the two. Different blockchain networks will use one term or the other and have different usage requirements. In the end, they both achieve the same purpose.
Deposit Requirements
When depositing XRP, XLM, or EOS to a Zero Hash deposit address, there are certain requirements that must be met in order to successfully send the digital asset. See below requirements:
| Digital Asset | Feature Name | Format | Required? |

XRP Example
Note: When depositing to Zero Hash addresses, Destination Tag/Memo ID's could update and change. If a previous Destination Tag/Memo ID was whitelisted for deposits, deposits will still successfully be credited to your wallet.
Withdrawal Requirements
