How to Migrate from BNB Chain Wallet (Extension) to Trust Wallet Extension

Moving forward, BNB Chain Extension Wallet will enter maintenance mode.

As you navigate this transition, it's essential to choose a path that not only continues your Web3 journey but enhances it with strong security and a spectrum of possibilities. That's where Trust Wallet’s Browser Extension comes in. The Trust Wallet Extension has all the features you expect from the Binance Wallet Extension such as being able to buy crypto, swapping, connecting a hardware wallet and being able to safely manage your assets.

However, The Trust Wallet Browser Extension takes things a step further by providing a more feature rich experience, more in-wallet features such as staking, as well as support for 10M+ assets across ~100 blockchain networks. Transitioning to Trust Wallet offers not just continuity but an upgrade in managing your crypto, NFTs, and entire Web3 experience.

1. Installing the Trust Wallet Browser Extension

2. Obtaining your secret phrase (seed phrase) from the BNB Chain Extension Wallet

3. Importing your secret phrase (seed phrase) into the Trust Wallet Browser Extension

• Choose “Settings”.

Note: We encourage you to do these steps in a secure location in order to protect your seed phrase.

• Choose “View Seed Phrase”.

• Enter your password and select “Next”.

• Note down your seed phrase or copy it for the next step.

3. Import your secret phrase into the Trust Wallet Browser Extension

Now that you have your secret phrase (seed phrase), it’s time to enter it into your Trust Wallet Browser Extension.

• Open the Trust Wallet Browser Extension, and choose “Import or recover wallet”.

• Create a secure password, and select “Next”.
