BNB (Build and Build, formerly Binance Coin) is the native token of the Binance ecosystem and the BNB Smart Chain. As one of the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market cap, BNB is widely traded. Here is how to minimize your withdrawal costs.

Why Binance Dominates BNB Transfers

It is no surprise that Binance offers the cheapest BNB withdrawals — it is their native token. The BNB Smart Chain was created by Binance, so they have the lowest infrastructure costs.

BEP-20 vs BEP-2: Which Network?

• BEP-20 (BNB Smart Chain): The more widely supported network. Used for DeFi, tokens, and most exchange deposits.
• BEP-2 (Beacon Chain): The older network, being phased out on many platforms.

Always use BEP-20 unless the receiving exchange specifically requires BEP-2.

BNB for Fee Discounts

Remember that BNB has utility beyond trading:

• 25% fee discount on Binance when used for trading fee payment
• Required for gas on BNB Smart Chain DeFi protocols
• Can be staked for additional yield

If you trade on Binance, always keep some BNB in your spot wallet for the fee discount.
