2. ‘Deposit to’

Now, go ahead and click on the first option.

You can right away select ‘BNB’ from the dropdown list.

Soon after this, select the second option by clicking on the ‘select network’ dropdown.

Here, it becomes crucial to select the correct network.

Which network to select? (It is vital to ensure that our deposit network resonates with the withdrawal network).

An inability to select the appropriate network could lead to a loss of funds.

Now select the ‘BSC: BNB Smart Chain (BEP20)’ option.

(Why expressly BEP 20? because MetaMask (withdrawal network) connects with the BNB Smart Chain BEP20)

Finally, you have successfully generated your BNB Deposit address.

Go ahead and copy it on your clipboard!

On this screen, you’ll also have an option to select the exact destination of the deposit arrival on Binance.

You can choose from any of the two options:

1. Spot Wallet
2. Funding wallet

4. Logging in to MetaMask

Now that we’ve generated our deposit address, it’s time to log in to MetaMask.

MetaMask is a crypto wallet available as a browser extension and as a mobile app.

After logging into the browser extension, you will have to select ‘BNB’ from under the “Assets” tab.

5. Entering the BNB deposit address on MetaMask

After selecting BNB, you will have to click on the “Send” option.

Next, you should see a “Send to” section pop on the screen.

Remember we copied the deposit address in the third step? It’s time to paste it!

Here, you just have to paste the address previously copied in the search bar.

6. Entering the amount of BNB you wish to send

Immediately after pasting the address in the designated search bar, you would see the following on your screen:

1. The BNB balance you currently hold on MetaMask
2. The amount to be transferred in the current transaction
3. Gas price (GWEI)
4. Gas Limit

Note: If you’ve entered this address for the first time, MetaMask will also give you an option to add it to your address book.

Now, go ahead and enter the quantum of BNB you wish to send. (Any specific amount of BNB)

If you wish to send the entire balance, you could simply click on the “Max” option.

Further, Gas fees are paid to crypto miners who process transactions on the network.

Since the Gas price and the Gas limit are as per the default network settings, you can leave them as it is.

Finally, you can click on “Next”

7. Confirming your transaction

This is the step where you’ll review the details of the transaction.

The screen will flash a summation of:

1. Estimated gas fee
2. The total amount of BNB to be transferred + gas fee

After having a quick look at the details, just click on “Confirm”

8. Reviewing transaction status

The transaction can typically take anywhere between 3-10 Minutes to complete.

But there may be delays in some cases based on the network congestion at the time of the transaction.

To check its status, you can see the “Activity” tab on metamask

In addition to this, you can also crosscheck the status on Binance.

For this, simply go to the “fiat and spot” section in your Binance wallet.

Click on “transaction history” on the left sidebar.

The transaction status should reflect as “confirming” in this transaction history.

This sign would mean that the deposit has been accepted by the network and will be processed within 3-10 minutes.
