Add the Binance Wallet extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Sign up for the wallet. Like most wallets (including Metamask) you’ll need to save both a master password and your recovery phrase. These cannot be recovered, so write them down in a secure location.
On the Binance Wallet extension, you’ll notice that it has access to both the Binance Chain Network and the Binance Smart Chain Network.
Select the Binance Chain Network. The BNB in your binance.us account is on the Binance Chain Network.
Copy the wallet address from the Binance Wallet. The Binance Chain (BC) wallet address starts with bnb
.
In your binance.us account, send your BNB to your wallet’s address.
Gas fees on the Binance chains are pretty low, so you’ll get just a bit less than you sent out. For reference, sending 0.2 BNB to my wallet cost me 0.001 BNB ($0.42).
You should have the amount in your wallet (minus the gas fee) within a few minutes.
Now you can convert across chains!
The Binance Wallet actually makes this process really simple. You can click Send and one of the options for the Address field is your Binance Smart Chain (BSC) address in the Binance wallet. The BSC address starts with 0x
.
Note: If for some reason you aren’t getting the dropdown that autofills your BSC address, switch to the Binance Smart Chain network and copy the BSC wallet address then go back to the Binance Chain network and send to that address.
Now you can switch your wallet over to the Binance Smart Chain network. You should see your BNB there (minus a small gas fee)! 🎉 Give it a few minutes if it isn’t there yet.
And now we can finally send our BNB to Metamask.
Open your Metamask wallet and make sure you’re on the Binance Smart Chain network.
Copy the BNB wallet address. Again, this address starts with 0x
since it’s on the BSC network.
In your Binance Wallet, send your BNB to the Metamask address you just copied. You should still be on the Binance Smart Chain network.
And voila! You just transferred BNB from binance.us to Metamask! And now you can really blow it on all of the shitcoins you want 😍
Good luck and many blocks to you!
