    The grass might not always really be greener on the other side but it sure can be interesting. With different blockchains exploring different applications and strategies, bridging becomes extremely important for users looking to migrate their assets from one network to another.

    The Ethereum to BNB Chain bridge provides an essential utility for those wanting to expand their horizons by transferring to another chain. This guide aims to give you the best methods for bridging Ethereum to BNB Chain and vice versa.

    What is Bridging?

    Bridging provides a way to transfer assets from one network to another. This solution fixes the problem of most crypto being designed to only work on one chain. And if you’re into decentralized finance (DeFi), bridges are something you’ll cross one way or another.

    Also, check our Full Bridging Guide.

    Background

    On Feb 15, 2022, the Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) merged to become the BNB Chain so if you searched for “how do you bridge ETH to Binance Smart Chain,” you’ll likely end up with a “how to bridge Ethereum to BNB Chain” article like this. If not, then chances are that that post is either outdated or wrong.

    Most people don’t know this but the BNB Chain is actually a hard fork of the Go Ethereum (Geth) protocol. Therefore, it shares many similarities with the Ethereum blockchain and naturally, there will be many ways to migrate assets across both networks.

    Where to Bridge Ethereum to BNB Chain

    There are three primary bridges for Ethereum to BNB Chain (and vice versa):

    • Celer cBridge: We’ll be exchanging $ETH on the Ethereum network for $BNB on the BNB Chain.
    • Changelly: We’ll be buying $BNB or $BUSD directly on the BNB Chain with $ETH from our Ethereum network.
    • Centralized Exchanges: We’ll be sending $ETH to a centralized platform, swapping it directly for $BNB or $BUSD, then withdrawing it into a BNB Chain wallet.

    Bridging Tokens and Stablecoins

    As mentioned earlier, while a lot of cryptocurrencies are designed to work on one chain only, there are other tokens and stablecoins that are built with cross-chain support. It is important to note, however, that using a bridge to transfer assets is still a safer way to move crypto compared to sending it to another network directly.

    How to Bridge Ethereum to BNB Chain with Celer cBridge

    Celer cBridge is a great way to transfer assets from Ethereum to the BNB Chain. Aside from $ETH, you’ll also be able to convert stablecoins like $USDT, $USDC, $BUSD, and more.

    For Celer cBridge, we suggest using a wallet with multi-net capabilities like Metamask. You’ll have to add both the Ethereum mainnet and the BNB mainnet to your wallet if you haven’t already.

    If you don’t know how see the instructions here and then come back.

    STEP 1: Go to cbridge.celer.network.

    STEP 2: Connect your wallet.

    STEP 3: Set the From field to ‘Ethereum’ and the To field to ‘BNB Chain’.

    STEP 4: Select the type of crypto you want to send (for this section, we’ll be sending $ETH).

    STEP 5: Make sure you have enough gas fees and send above the minimum amount.

    STEP 6: Approve $ETH.

    STEP 7: Click on Transfer.

    STEP 8: Confirm Transfer.

    STEP 9: Add the Ethereum to your BNB Chain mainnet by clicking the Add Custom Token and entering the address below.

    Token Contact Address:

    0x2170ed0880ac9a755fd29b2688956bd959f933f8

    STEP 10: Check to see if your crypto has been transferred.

    STEP 5: Make sure you have enough gas fees in $ETH and send above the minimum amount.

    STEP 6: Approve $ETH.

    STEP 7: Click on Transfer.

    STEP 8: Confirm Transfer.

    STEP 9: Add the USDT to your BNB Chain mainnet by clicking the Add Custom Token and entering the address below.

    Token Contact Address:

    0x55d398326f99059ff775485246999027b3197955

    STEP 10: Check to see if your crypto has been transferred.

    How to Bridge BNB Chain to Ethereum on Celer

    If you want to send assets from the BNB Chain to Ethereum, all you need to do is reverse the “From” and “To” fields. Here’s how:

    STEP 1: Go to cbridge.celer.network.

    STEP 2: Connect your wallet.

    STEP 3: Set the From field to ‘BNB Chain’ and the To field to ‘Ethereum’.

    STEP 4: Choose the cryptocurrency you want to send.

    STEP 5: Replicate the next steps using the examples above.

    When to Use Celer cBridge to Bridge Ethereum to BNB Chain

    The best time to use Celer cBridge is when you are using wallets with multi-chain support like Metamask.

    Pros

    • Convenient
    • Decentralized
    • Easy step-by-step process

    Cons

    • You have to use a wallet with multi-network support
    • Has a minimum sending amount

    How to Bridge Ethereum to BNB Chain with Changelly

    Changelly gives you different options when sending from Ethereum to BNB Chain; receiving $BNB or $BUSD. Each choice follows the same method.

    ATTENTION: Before sending crypto with Changelly, make sure you are using a BEP20 wallet and are sending BEP20 tokens (not BEP2).

    STEP 1: Go to Changelly.

    STEP 2: Choose between a Floating rate or Fixed rate. 

    A Floating rate gives you flexibility depending on price performance while a Fixed rate locks you in at a specific amount. For this tutorial, we’ll be using a Fixed rate.

    STEP 3: Double-check the amount of $ETH you want to send.

    STEP 4: Choose between $BNB or $BUSD but make sure they are BEP20 options.

    STEP 5: Enter a BNB Chain wallet address 

    Entering the wallet address

    STEP 5: Click on the Next step and deposit your payment.

    STEP 6: Wait for the funds to show up.

    The same process applies if you want to use your $BNB, or $BUSD to purchase $ETH.

    When to Use Changelly to Bridge Ethereum to BNB Chain

    Changelly is a good option when you want a convenient way to transfer crypto from one wallet to another. It’s important to note that Changelly is a centralized bridge but is still an okay option when your wallet doesn’t have multi-network support.

    Pros

    • Can transfer crypto from one wallet to another
    • Option of $BNB, $BSC, and $BUSD

    Cons

    • Requires a minimum amount to be sent
    • Not decentralized
    • Can be expensive

    How to Bridge Ethereum to BNB Chain with Centralized Exchanges

    One thing a lot of crypto enthusiasts and professionals have in common is that they do not support using centralized exchanges. Despite this, centralized exchanges are still one of the easiest ways to bridge Ethereum to the BNB Chain at faster speeds and lower fees.

    The good thing about Ethereum and the BNB Chain is that they support pairs like $ETH/$BNB or $ETH/$BUSD.

    STEP 1: Go to your chosen exchange and select “receive cryptocurrency” or other similar options.

    STEP 2: Change the settings to receive $ETH.

    STEP 3: Copy the address and code.

    STEP 4: Go to your crypto wallet.

    STEP 5: Click on Send.

    STEP 6: Enter the address you copied earlier (enter the code if needed).

    STEP 7: Send your funds.

    STEP 8: When the funds arrive in your account, exchange your $ETH directly for $BNB or $BUSD through the $ETH/$BNB or $ETH/$BUSD pair.

    STEP 9: Go to your wallet and withdraw your chosen crypto.

    STEP 10: Enter your BNB Chain wallet address.

    STEP 11: Withdraw your $BNB or $BUSD from the centralized exchange to your wallet.

    When to Use Centralized Exchanges to Bridge Ethereum to BNB Chain

    Centralized exchanges are best used if you want to directly convert your $ETH to $BNB or $BUSD at a low cost and if you already have an exchange account. Creating an account takes a bit of time.

    Pros

    • Directly swap $ETH for $BNB or $BUSD
    • Faster sending times (depending on the blockchain)
    • Cheap fees

    Cons

    • Not decentralized
    • Requires KYC (handing over your personal information)
