Swap BNB from BNB Chain to ETH on Ethereum

Swap BNB from BNB Chain to ETH on Ethereum. You send native BNB on BNB Chain and you receive native ETH on Ethereum, the coin that pays gas there.

Both fields use 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. On BNB Chain, chain id 56, that marker is BNB. On Ethereum, chain id 1, it is ETH. BscScan shows the BNB leaving. Etherscan shows the ETH arriving. There is no ERC-20 approval on either gas coin. Blocks on BNB Chain are about 3 seconds. Blocks on Ethereum are about 12 seconds. This is not WETH and not the Binance-Peg ETH token.

Diagram for Swap BNB from BNB Chain to ETH on Ethereum
BNB leaves BNB Chain. ETH is what can arrive on Ethereum.

Same marker, BNB on one side and ETH on the other

The placeholder is not one token that teleports. It means the gas coin of the chain you are looking at. Selling BNB and receiving ETH is a real trade between two volatile coins. The Binance-Peg ETH contract is not involved. If that peg is what you hold, this page will not take it. Keep some BNB, or the source fee cannot be paid.

The ether you receive can pay fees

Because the payout is native ETH, it can pay later Ethereum fees once it is in the wallet. You do not need a prior ETH balance for that credit to be usable. That is different from receiving USDC, USDT, DAI, or WETH. Etherscan will not show an ERC-20 for this payout. Do not hunt for the marker as a token contract.

WETH and the peg token are easy to mix up

WETH is a contract and a different page. The peg at 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 is a different input. Dollar payouts are different pages too. If you only wanted to hold BNB, this route is the wrong tool. How cross-chain bridges work is the wait, not a rate. No ETH amount is locked.

Both coins move, so read the floor

BNB and ETH can each move while the route is open. The minimum ETH is the number you are accepting, not the first estimate. A 3 second block on chain id 56 does not freeze that minimum. Sign the native send only from the BNB Chain wallet. If the floor is a smaller bag of ETH than you want, do not sign.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap BNB from BNB Chain to ETH on Ethereum?

Both fields use 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. On BNB Chain, chain id 56, that marker is BNB.

Why do both addresses look identical if the coins are different?

The string 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE is a stand-in for the native gas coin, not a shared contract. BscScan's native asset is BNB on chain id 56. Etherscan's native asset is ETH on chain id 1. There is no ERC-20 approval on either side. The Binance-Peg ETH token is a third asset and is not this route.

Will I receive WETH that still needs unwrapping?

No. This payout is native ETH, so it can pay gas on Ethereum after it arrives. WETH would be contract 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 and would need ETH already in the wallet. If a pool requires that contract, you are on the wrong page. You still must leave BNB on the source for the send.

Can I reverse it if ETH drops after BscScan shows the send?

No. A confirmed BNB send is not something this site can undo, and the price is not insured. Read the minimum ETH first. The 3 second block is only BNB Chain. It is not a promise about the ETH you will see on Etherscan, and it is not a promise about when that balance appears.
