BNB Beacon Chain Token Recovery Tool: Sunset Plan

2026.3.4  •  2 min read
Blog post image.

TLDR:

  • BNB Beacon Chain Token Recovery Tool will sunset in three phases, with recovery times increasing with each phase
  • BNB Beacon Chain asset holders should migrate their tokens to BNB Smart Chain as soon as possible for faster processing times
  • Recover your assets with Token Recovery Tool

The official BNB Beacon Chain Token Recovery Tool, allowing asset migration from BNB Beacon Chain to BNB Smart Chain, is now entering its sunset phase.

As the tool phases out, asset holders of BNB Beacon Chain are urged to act promptly for faster processing times.

Actions For BNB Beacon Chain Asset Holders

BNB Beacon Chain asset holders should migrate their tokens to BNB Smart Chain using the 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. On top of that, permissionless mirroring (BEP84) is permanently disabled and will not be re-enabled.

How to recover?

Visit this page to recover your assets and follow the steps here to learn how.

Sunset Timeline

The sunset will occur in three phases, with recovery times increasing with each phase:

Phase 1: Now till 30 April 2026

  • The tool operates normally with recovery requests processed within 7 days SLA.

Phase 2: 1 May - 30 June 2026


  • Recovery requests will be batch-processed with recovery times extended to 1 month SLA.

Phase 3: 1 July 2026 onwards


  • Recovery process will be manual and require user transaction signing.

  • Further details will be provided later.

Act Now

To avoid delays and complications, BNB Beacon Chain assets holders are encouraged to take actions as soon as possible before the recovery tool phases out.

Start migrating using the Token Recovery Tool.
