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.
Key Takeaways
- Route type: cross-chain (Ethereum to BNB Chain).
- Time: from seconds to about 33 seconds on our live check.
- Gas: BNB on the destination side.
- Recipient: same 0x address.

Starting from Ethereum mainnet cost less than starting from Arbitrum in this check (about $2.7 lost vs $4.6) and was faster: with gas near 0.1 gwei, mainnet is no longer the expensive start it used to be.
Step by Step

- From: ETH. To: BNB on BNB Chain.
- Enter the destination address on BNB Chain.
- Review fees, time and the amount received.

Mistakes to Avoid
- No gas: Swap at least a few dollars of BNB so you can pay fees on BNB Chain after arrival.
- Wrong network: sending to an address on another chain can lose funds; see USDT networks explained.
- High slippage on small pools: check price impact before confirming; see what is slippage.
