BNB Smart Chain, wey people dey call BSC for short, na common option for exchange withdrawals and plenty browser and mobile wallets dey support am. E dey convenient, but e dey share the same address format with some other networks, and na that same-same address format this guide go spend most of its time on.

Four ways to pay from BNB Smart Chain

For the payment page, each of these na separate option with its own amount:

• BNB, the coin wey dem dey use pay network fees for BNB Smart Chain
• USDT for BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20)
• USDC for BNB Smart Chain
• ETH for BNB Smart Chain, one version of ETH wey dey live for BSC and e separate from ETH for the Ethereum network

Dem also accept ETH for Ethereum and Arbitrum, and USDT and USDC for some other networks, but those ones na different options for the page. Pick the coin and the network wey your balance really dey sit on.

Plans price dey for euros. The page dey convert the euro amount to the coin wey you choose for the moment wey you pay, na why the USDT or USDC figure no go be the same number as the euro price.

BEP-20, BSC, BNB Smart Chain: one network, three names

Exchanges and wallets dey label this network different different ways: BNB Smart Chain, BSC or BEP-20. All three mean the same thing. But two names wey look like am no be the same:

• opBNB na separate network wey dem build on top of BNB Smart Chain. E no be the same thing as BNB Smart Chain.
• BEP-2 na old token standard for different chain. Choose BEP-20, wey be BNB Smart Chain.

Why your wallet dey show the same address for many networks

BNB Smart Chain dey use addresses wey start with 0x, exactly like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon and Avalanche. Wallet wey support many of these networks go often show you one address for all of dem, and exchange withdrawal form go accept 0x address for any of dem without complain.

But the payment address belong to the network wey you select for the payment page. If you choose ETH for BNB Smart Chain and then you send ETH for the Ethereum network, the transfer don dey different network and e fit leave the payment incomplete. Blockchain transfers no fit reverse once you don send am, so check the network name for the withdrawal screen, or for your wallet network switcher, before you confirm.

Gas for BNB Smart Chain: keep small BNB

Na the sender dey pay network fees, on top of the amount wey dem show. For BNB Smart Chain, the fee, wey people dey call gas, dem dey pay am for BNB.

• If you dey pay with USDT, USDC or ETH from your own wallet, you need some BNB for the same wallet for gas.
• If you dey pay with BNB itself, you need enough for the amount plus the fee. “Max” button fit remove the fee from the amount, so type the exact figure instead.
• If you dey withdraw from exchange, the exchange go charge their own fee, sometimes from the amount wey you type. Check wetin go really reach: if you send less than the amount wey dem show, the payment fit stay incomplete, but if you overpay, the order still go complete.
