What Is BNB Chain?

BNB Chain is a high-performance blockchain platform designed to support the creation and deployment of scalable, user-friendly decentralized applications. It provides a robust environment for the DeFi space, enabling fast transaction processing and low fees. By leveraging BNB Chain's dual-chain architecture, developers can build complex applications with enhanced efficiency and UX.

Prepare To Bridge To BNB Chain 

Confirm that you have the required wallet and tokens:

  1. Confirm that you have a compatible cryptocurrency wallet. Transporter supports MetaMask, MetaMask-compatible wallets (e.g. Rabby and Frame), Coinbase Wallet, and WalletConnect-enabled wallets. Smart contract wallets are also supported. 
  2. Decide which assets you intend to bridge to BNB Chain, such as ETH, LINK, USDC, or other supported tokens.
  3. Verify that you have sufficient assets (the native token of the source blockchain or LINK) to cover the gas fees needed to process the transaction.
