Swap BNB (BSC) Without KYC

BNB is the native coin of BNB Chain. On this site it always means BNB on BNB Smart Chain (BSC), an EVM-compatible network where BNB pays gas for transfers, BEP-20 tokens and apps. That is why pair labels read "BNB (BSC)".

BSC addresses start with 0x and look exactly like Ethereum addresses. A self-custody EVM wallet uses the same address on both chains, which is convenient but makes mistakes easy: exchanges treat BSC and Ethereum deposits as different networks. If you paste an exchange deposit address, confirm that the exchange lists BNB Smart Chain for BNB. The older BNB Beacon Chain, whose addresses started with bnb1, has been retired.

Blocks on BSC come every few seconds and fees are low, so the BNB side of a swap is usually fast. The longer part is often the other coin, for example Bitcoin confirmations. Keep some BNB in your wallet if you also hold BEP-20 tokens, because every token transfer on BSC pays its fee in BNB.
