EVM chain

BNB Chain Bridge: how to bridge to and from BNB Chain

BNB Chain runs Ethereum-compatible smart contracts, so almost every bridge and aggregator supports it. Routes to other EVM chains are cheap and fast; routes to chains without smart contracts depend on native swap protocols or custodians.

Quick answer

Services supporting BNB Chain: 20. Most used in our guides: LI.FI, deBridge, Symbiosis, Relay. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid.

Popular services

  • LI.FI

    LI.FI is an aggregator. It compares many bridges and exchanges and picks the best route for your transfer. Many wallets and apps build it in. Jumper, a website for regular users that started inside LI.FI, runs on it.

  • deBridge

    deBridge lets you swap tokens between Ethereum-style networks, Solana and other chains such as TRON in one step. You place an order saying what you give and what you want back. A taker (a solver who fills orders) pays you on the destination network from its own funds.

  • Symbiosis

    Symbiosis swaps tokens between about 50 networks, including TON. You can swap almost any token that trades on an exchange on one network for a token on another, in a single transaction.

  • Relay

    Relay moves and swaps coins between networks, usually in seconds. You say what you want, and a solver pays you on the destination network right away from its own funds. The solver settles up with Relay afterwards.

Route guides

Alternative ways to move funds

Move stablecoins instead

Converting to USDC or USDT and moving it through the issuer’s own transfer protocol often has the widest coverage and the least slippage. Swap back on the destination if you need another asset.

Two steps through a well-connected chain

If no single route exists, first move to a chain with many connections (Ethereum, Solana or a major rollup), then on to the destination. It costs two fees, but each step uses a well-tested route.

Through a centralised exchange

Deposit on BNB Chain, trade if needed, and withdraw on the destination network. Simple and often cheap, but the exchange holds your funds in between and needs identity verification.

Wrapped tokens

A custodian or federation holds the original coin and issues a token on another chain. Convenient for DeFi, but the token is only as safe as whoever backs it.

How transfers work on BNB Chain

  • Liquidity bridges and intent networks deliver funds in seconds to minutes by fronting the money on the destination chain.
  • Stablecoin issuers (Circle CCTP for USDC, USDT0 for USDT) burn on BNB Chain and mint on the destination, so you receive the official token.
  • Aggregators compare many bridges at once and are a good starting point when you are unsure.

What to watch out for

  • The same token can exist in several wrapped versions. Check the contract address you receive.
  • You need a little of the native gas token on the destination chain to use the funds.

Frequently asked questions

How can I bridge from BNB Chain?

20 of the projects we review support BNB Chain, including Stargate, Wormhole, THORChain. We have 13 route guides that involve BNB Chain.

Which major chains can I reach from BNB Chain directly?

Directly: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid. Other destinations need two steps or an exchange.

What if there is no bridge for my BNB Chain route?

Use a centralised exchange, take two steps through a well-connected chain such as Ethereum or Solana, or move a stablecoin instead and swap on arrival.
