How To Bridge From BSC To Ethereum (Step By Step)

The Binance Smart Chain (BNB Smart Chain) and Ethereum Mainnet are leading blockchains in decentralized finance (DeFi). Both support EVM-compatible smart contracts, DApps, and use proof-of-stake consensus. Despite their similarities, users often need to move assets between these networks. This guide covers two reliable methods:

Method 1: Using Celer cBridge

👉 Cross-chain bridge with low fees

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Switch Wallet to BSC

   • Open MetaMask and select "Binance Smart Chain" from the network dropdown.
   • Tip: If BSC isn’t listed, manually add it using ChainID 56.

2. Connect to cBridge

   • Visit Celer Bridge and click Connect Wallet.
   • Approve the connection via MetaMask.

3. Configure Transfer

   • Set source chain: BNB Chain
   • Set destination chain: Ethereum Mainnet
   • Select token (e.g., Binance-Pegged ETH) and enter amount.

4. Approve Transactions

   • Confirm token spend approval in MetaMask.
   • Review gas fees and finalize transfer.

5. Completion

   • Switch MetaMask back to Ethereum Mainnet to view bridged funds.

Supported Tokens: ETH, USDT, USDC, BUSD, and other EVM-compatible assets.

Method 2: Via Binance Exchange

👉 Centralized exchange alternative

Steps:

1. Deposit to Binance

   • Log in to Binance and navigate to Fiat & Spot Wallet.
   • Select ETH (or desired token) and choose BEP20 network.
   • Transfer tokens from BSC to your Binance deposit address.

2. Withdraw to Ethereum

   • Paste your MetaMask ERC20 address in Binance’s withdrawal section.
   • Select Ethereum (ERC20) network and confirm transaction.

Processing Time: Typically completes within 3 minutes.

FAQ Section

Q1: Is bridging from BSC to Ethereum reversible?

Yes! Use the same bridge or exchange to move assets back to BSC.

Q2: What are the gas fees for bridging?

Fees vary by network congestion. cBridge usually costs less than $5 in BSC gas fees.

Q3: Can I bridge non-EVM tokens?

No—this guide applies only to EVM-compatible assets like ETH, stablecoins, and BEP20 tokens.

Q4: How long does bridging take?

Bridge transfers take 2–10 minutes; centralized exchanges may process faster.

Key Takeaways

• Use cBridge for decentralized, low-fee transfers.
• Binance offers a user-friendly alternative with higher liquidity.
• Always confirm network settings and wallet addresses before transactions.
