ERC20 to BEP20 — Complete Guide

The following method is simplest, all you have to do being:

Deposit the tokens from Ethereum into Binance Exchange.
Withdraw the tokens from Binance Exchange as BEP20 into your BSC wallet.

1) Deposit your tokens on Binance Exchange

Find the token you want to deposit in your "spot wallet", click on "deposit", copy the address and send your tokens to that address.

Always make sure that you pick the correct blockchain. If you have tokens on Ethereum, pick the ERC20 wallet. If your tokens are on TRON pick the TRC20 wallet, and so on.

2) Withdraw the desired tokens in your external BSC wallet.

Find the token you want to withdraw in your "spot wallet", click on "withdraw", and fill the boxes with the correct info.

Always make sure you're withdrawing to the correct blockchain. For BEP20 tokens, pick the "Binance Smart Chain (BSC)" option.

That's it.

Additional information

Make sure you also buy and withdraw at least a few USD of BNB for transactional fees, as Binance Smart Chain uses BNB to pay the validator's fees, the same way Ethereum uses ETH (but BSC is doing it x100 times cheaper).

The following method is the most convenient, because it's the only method on our list today that also gives you the option to receive BNB (for fees), no matter what asset you're cross-chain swapping.

1) Go to the Binance Bridge and connect your wallet

2) Pick the asset you want to cross-chain swap from the list

3) Pick the correct "from" and "to" blockchain options and the destination

In our case, we want to cross-chain swap from Ethereum Network into Binance Smart Chain Network. The destination address was automatically chosen for us, as on MetaMask your ERC20 address and BEP20 address are identical (this does not apply to every wallet).

4-1) Check the "I want to swap some BNB..." box and pick an option

How much BNB you decide to get is entirely up to you, as once you have at least the minimum necessary you can always swap the assets you just cross-chain swapped for more BNB on Kalmar.

This option is only available if you bridge more than $450 USD worth of assets as of now.

4-2) Pick the correct option.

In our case it is the 4th one, because we will send the tokens directly from our wallet.

5) Confirm the transaction

6) Copy the address and send the tokens to it

Make sure to always send only one transaction and that the amount is correct.

7) Wait for the transaction to be confirmed 12 times

8) Done, we received our 1 BNB and the rest of our ETH.

In this particular guide we will assume that you already deposited your ERC20 assets into Binance Exchange.

Remember to always get some BNB as well, for the blockchain's fees.

1) Download the Binance Extension and create a wallet.

2) Connect to Binance Network and copy your BEP2 address

3) Withdraw the tokens as BEP2 into your new wallet

Make sure to choose the correction network, which in this case is "Binance Chain (BNB)".

4) Once withdrawal is complete, click on "Send"

5) Fill the transaction info, and input your BEP20 address

Your BEP20 address is your BSC address. Just pasting it in will automatically trigger a cross-chain swap, as you can see under "Address" in the screenshot below.

6) Send and confirm the transaction

That's it, that's all there is to it!

You now successfully sent your BNB to your BEP20 address.

This method is the simplest and fastest, but it too has its own disadvantages:

It is the most expensive method, the network fee at the time of writing being $29,78 USD
It does not give you BNB, so you will need to get the BNB for fees from somewhere else/someone else.

We will assume you already downloaded SafePal on your device and connected your already existing wallet to it.
