BNB Beacon Chain Token Recovery Tool: Sunset Plan¶
The official BNB Beacon Chain Token Recovery Tool, which allows asset migration from BNB Beacon Chain to BNB Smart Chain, is entering its sunset phase.
As the tool phases out, BNB Beacon Chain asset holders are urged to act promptly for faster processing times.
For the full announcement, see the BNB Chain blog post.
Actions for BNB Beacon Chain Asset Holders¶
BNB Beacon Chain asset holders should migrate their tokens to BNB Smart Chain using the Token Recovery Tool as soon as possible for faster processing times.
What Can Be Recovered?¶
Only BEP2 tokens (on BNB Beacon Chain) that are mirrored to BEP20 tokens (on BNB Smart Chain) are eligible for recovery.
Tokens that were never mirrored are ineligible for recovery. Permissionless mirroring (BEP84) is permanently disabled and will not be re-enabled.
How to Recover¶
Visit the Token Recovery Tool to recover your assets. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Token Recovery dApp guide.
Sunset Timeline¶
The sunset will occur in three phases, with recovery times increasing with each phase:
| Phase | Period | Processing |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Now till 30 April 2026 | The tool operates normally with recovery requests processed within a 7-day SLA. |
| Phase 2 | 1 May – 30 June 2026 | Recovery requests will be batch-processed with recovery times extended to a 1-month SLA. |
| Phase 3 | 1 July 2026 onwards | Recovery process will be manual and require user transaction signing. The hosted tool will be discontinued. See the Phase 3 self-service announcement. |
Act Now¶
To avoid delays and complications, BNB Beacon Chain asset holders are encouraged to take action as soon as possible before the recovery tool phases out.
