How to Swap ETH to BNB: One-Step Cross-Chain Guide

To swap ETH to BNB, use a cross-chain swap: choose ETH on Ethereum as “from” and BNB on BNB Chain as “to”, enter your same 0x address, review the quote and confirm. The route converts and bridges in one flow. ETH to BNB is the usual way to get gas for BNB Chain or to move into PancakeSwap and other BNB Chain apps.
