Step 1: Convert Your Crypto to BNB on Binance

  1. Log in to your Binance account.

  2. Go to your “Spot Wallet”.

  3. Find your asset (e.g., USDT) and click “Trade” or “Convert”.

  4. Trade all of it for BNB.

Step 2: Withdraw BNB to Your Brave Wallet

  1. In Binance, go to “Withdraw Crypto”.

  2. For the asset, select BNB.

  3. For the network, you MUST select BNB Smart Chain (BEP20).

  4. Get your Brave Wallet address:

    • Open your Brave Wallet.

    • Click “Deposit”.

    • Find BNB and select the BNB Smart Chain option.

    • Copy the address using the copy button. (Never type it manually!).

  5. Paste your Brave Wallet address into Binance’s recipient field.

  6. Double-check that the address matches perfectly and the network is BSC (BEP20).

  7. Withdraw your BNB. It should arrive in a few minutes.

Step 3: Bridge BNB to SOL in Brave Wallet

Do not use “Swap” for this step. You are moving between different networks, so you need a bridge.

  1. In your Brave Wallet, click on the “Bridge” tab.

  2. Set up the bridge as follows:

    • From: BNB (on BNB Smart Chain)

    • To: SOL (on Solana Mainnet Beta)

  3. Enter the amount of BNB you want to convert to SOL. You only need a small amount (e.g., $0.50 worth) to get enough SOL for gas fees.

  4. Review the transaction and confirm. A small fee will be charged.

Step 4: Connect Your Brave Rewards

  1. Once the bridge is complete, you will see SOL in your wallet on the Solana network.

  2. Now, go to your Brave Rewards settings and connect your Brave Wallet.

  3. Confirm the connection. The required gas fee (about 0.00094 SOL) will be paid from your new SOL balance.

Are you still having trouble sending/bridging?
