BNB Chain arrives on Chainflip Testnet: The Countdown to Mainnet Begins

BNB Chain is coming to Chainflip. Testing has officially begun, with BNB now live on our Perseverance Testnet. Mainnet launch follows later this month.

BNB live on Chainflip Testnet

We're bringing native access to BNB Chain: swap majors into BNB, self-custody the entire way.

We are also testing cbBTC support in this testnet phase.

The vast BNB Chain ecosystem

BNB Chain is one of the busiest ecosystems in crypto, and there is a lot waiting once you are in:

  • Hold stables: One of the largest USDT bases in crypto.

  • Earn: Lend, stake and farm on Venus, Lista and PancakeSwap.

  • Trade: Deep spot markets and one of the biggest memecoin scenes, on PancakeSwap and Four.meme.

  • Own tokenized stocks and RWAs: BNB leads every chain for tokenized stocks, alongside a fast-growing market for real-world assets (RWAs).

  • Emerging: Perps, prediction markets, and a booming AI-agent scene.

Chainflip will soon be your way in.

How to join testing on Chainflip

Testing has already begun, and we're meticulously going through every edge case to catch issues before we push BNB to mainnet. This phase covers two things: BNB Chain (BNB & BSC-USD) and cbBTC.

BNB Chain:

Get testnet BNB from the BNB faucet, which needs a little real BNB in your wallet to use. Then open the Perseverance testnet swap app and swap into BNB Chain.

cbBTC:

Get test cbBTC from the Coinbase faucet, which needs a Coinbase account and a phone number to sign up. Then swap it on the Perseverance testnet swap app.

Tell us how both go. What we are checking is swaps and route combinations, deposits and payouts, timing and fees, and the SDK and liquidity setups.

For builders and liquidity providers

If you run a wallet, an app, or provide liquidity, testnet is the time to get set up. Integrators and liquidity make BNB Chain smoother on day one and stronger at mainnet. Start with the docs, wire up your setup on Perseverance, and tell us how it goes.

Mainnet is targeted for later in September. We will confirm the date once testing is done.

BNB Chain, the native way in.
