AvalancheBNB Smart Chain

Network-specific checks before a cross-chain transaction.

Avalanche and BNB Smart Chain have separate network contexts. A cross-chain route must account for the source environment, destination environment and the mechanism used to transfer or represent the asset.

Route Intelligence

Source network

Avalanche: Avalanche supports an EVM-compatible environment alongside its broader network ecosystem.

Destination network

BNB Smart Chain: BNB Smart Chain is an EVM-compatible network with its own BEP-20 token representations.

Asset considerations

On the source side, Verify the asset representation and contract on the selected Avalanche network. On the destination side, Verify BEP-20 contracts and distinguish legitimate assets from unsolicited tokens.

Fee considerations

Compare Avalanche transaction costs with route and destination costs before consolidating small balances. On BNB Smart Chain, Network transaction costs are only one part of the route; compare the complete cost before moving small balances.

Before You Bridge

  • Source: confirm the asset is actually held on Avalanche.
  • Destination: confirm the wallet and destination network.
  • Token: verify the exact asset representation rather than relying on ticker or logo.
  • Costs: compare gas, bridge fees, liquidity, price impact and the final received amount.
  • Security: Confirm the network and contract before interacting with unfamiliar assets. At the destination, Treat unexpected tokens and unfamiliar approvals cautiously and verify contracts before interacting.
Never use a seed phrase or private key to complete a bridge. A legitimate bridge flow should not require either.
