Rainbow is an Ethereum-based wallet with assets being supported on Ethereum mainnet and the Layer 2 chains. It’s possible to accidentally send unsupported tokens or assets to your Rainbow wallet address.
Here, we’ll discuss some commonly accidental unsupported tokens and how you can go about retrieving those assets from your wallet!
ETC:
ETC (Ethereum Classic) is a separate blockchain from the Ethereum blockchain. Rainbow, again, only supports the Ethereum blockchain (which has ETH and many other ERC-20 tokens).
If you find yourself having accidentally sent ETC to your Rainbow wallet, your funds are there but you will not be able to view them through Rainbow. If you would like to see your ETC, you will need to use a different wallet which supports Ethereum Classic. You can read more info here on how to get access to your ETC using Metamask: https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058809292-How-to-view-ETC-Ethereum-Classsic-token-
If you do not want to use Metamask for instance, you can use MEW (MyEtherWallet) wallet. Their official site is: https://www.myetherwallet.com/
