In the rapid development wave of blockchain technology, Web3, as the core vision of the next generation of the internet, is gradually entering the public eye. The key bridge connecting users to the decentralized world is the Web3 wallet. As a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, Binance has keenly captured this trend and launched the Binance Web3 wallet, deeply integrated into its official app. It is not just a tool for managing assets but also a versatile tool for users to explore the vast Web3 ecosystem, including DeFi (decentralized finance), NFTs (non-fungible tokens), GameFi (gamified finance), and DApps (decentralized applications).

Binance Web3 wallet beginner's guide: from download to functional use and core advantages explanation
What is the Binance Web3 wallet?
In simple terms, the Binance Web3 wallet is a non-custodial, multi-chain, self-custody wallet launched by Binance. It is built into the Binance app, providing users with a secure and convenient entry point to experience the Web3 world without needing to download a separate application.
Non-custodial/self-custody: This is the core principle of the Web3 wallet. The private keys of the Binance Web3 wallet are completely controlled by the user (usually encrypted and stored locally on the user's device), and Binance or any other centralized institution cannot access the user's assets or private keys. Users have absolute ownership and control over their assets.
Multi-chain support: It natively supports many mainstream blockchain networks, such as BNB Chain, Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Polygon (MATIC), Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche (AVAX), etc., and continues to expand. This means users can manage assets across different chains (such as BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB tokens) within a single wallet interface without needing to create separate wallets for each chain.
On-chain deep integration: As part of the Binance ecosystem, it achieves a seamless and secure connection with Binance exchange accounts. Users can easily transfer assets between their exchange accounts and Web3 wallets (commonly referred to as "depositing" to the wallet or "withdrawing" back to the exchange), enjoying a smooth deposit and withdrawal experience.
Web3 gateway: It has built-in access to a DApp browser, allowing users to connect and interact directly with thousands of decentralized applications, such as decentralized exchanges (DEX), lending platforms, NFT marketplaces, blockchain games, etc.

Binance Web3 wallet functional usage guide
Step 1: Create a Binance Web3 wallet
Find the entry: After logging into the Binance app, locate and click the "Wallet" icon in the bottom navigation bar.
Enter the Web3 wallet: On the wallet overview page, you should see a prominent "Web3 Wallet" option or tab. Click it.
Create a new wallet:
If you are using it for the first time, the system will guide you to create a Web3 wallet. After carefully reading the introduction and user agreement, click "Create Wallet" or a similar button.
The system will guide you to set an independent Web3 wallet payment password (please remember this! This password is used to protect the encrypted private key fragments stored locally on your device and for key operations such as transaction signing).
Creating a Binance Web3 wallet
After creation, the system will strongly prompt you to back up.
Backup wallet: The system will generate a set of 12 English words as a mnemonic phrase (recovery phrase). This is the only way to recover your wallet! Extremely important: Please make sure to write down these 12 words offline and securely, in order, and store them in multiple physically secure locations (such as a fireproof safe). Absolutely do not take screenshots, do not store them on connected devices, and do not send them through any communication tools. Anyone who obtains your mnemonic phrase can fully control your wallet assets! Verify the order of the mnemonic phrase you wrote down as required. After completing the backup, your Binance Web3 wallet will be successfully created and activated.
Step 2: Familiarization with the interface and basic operations
Asset overview: Displays the total value of all supported chain assets in the wallet and the balance of various tokens.
Token list: Lists various tokens along with their quantity and value in detail.
Function area: Usually includes core function buttons such as "Transfer," "Deposit" (transfer from Binance exchange account), "Withdraw" (transfer back to Binance exchange account), "Swap," "NFT," "DApp," etc.
Network selection: You can switch to view assets on different blockchain networks. Familiarization with the interface and basic operations
Step 3: Deposit assets from Binance exchange account to Web3 wallet
On the main interface of the Web3 wallet, click "Deposit" or "Transfer In." Select the cryptocurrency you want to transfer from your Binance account (such as USDT, BNB, ETH, etc.). Choose the target receiving network (must be consistent with the Binance withdrawal network! For example, to deposit BNB to BNB Chain, select BNB Smart Chain (BEP20); to deposit USDT to Ethereum, select Ethereum (ERC20)). Enter or confirm your Web3 wallet address that the system automatically fills in. Enter the deposit amount. Verify that all information (cryptocurrency, amount, network, address) is correct, then click confirm. Complete the security verification as prompted (2FA, etc.). Assets will typically arrive in your Web3 wallet shortly.
Depositing assets from Binance exchange account to Web3 wallet
Step 4: Withdraw assets from Web3 wallet back to Binance exchange account
On the main interface of the Web3 wallet, click "Withdraw" or "Transfer Out," and select the cryptocurrency you want to transfer out. Choose the source network (the blockchain where the cryptocurrency is located, such as BNB on BSC). For the target address, select "Binance" (or a similar identifier indicating withdrawal to your Binance exchange account), and enter the withdrawal amount. The system will automatically fill in your Binance account's corresponding deposit address and network (please verify again!). Confirm and pay the on-chain Gas fee (you need to have the native token of that chain in your wallet, such as BNB on BSC, ETH on Ethereum), enter your Web3 wallet payment password to sign the transaction. After waiting for blockchain confirmation, the assets will arrive in your Binance exchange account.
Withdrawing assets from Web3 wallet back to Binance exchange account
Step 5: Use the Swap function to exchange tokens
Click "Exchange" or "Swap," select the token and amount you want to pay, and choose the target token you want to exchange.
Select the network where the exchange will occur (ensure both tokens support that network), and the system will automatically find the optimal exchange path and quote for you (possibly from multiple DEX), displaying the estimated quantity obtained, price impact, slippage tolerance, and Gas fee. Carefully verify all information, especially the token contract address (beware of fake tokens!) and slippage settings. The wallet will usually provide risk scan prompts; after confirming everything is correct, click "Exchange."
Enter your Web3 wallet payment password to authorize the transaction and pay the Gas fee, then wait for the transaction to be confirmed on-chain; the exchanged tokens will appear in your wallet.
Using the Swap function to exchange tokens
Step 6: Use the DApp browser
Find the "DApp," "Explore," or "Browser" entry in the wallet interface and click it; you will see a curated list of DApps or can directly enter the URL of the DApp you want to access.
Find the DApp you want to use (such as PancakeSwap, Uniswap, Aave, or a GameFi game) and click to enter that DApp's website.
DApps usually detect your Binance Web3 wallet (or prompt you to connect your wallet).
On the DApp interface, click "Connect Wallet" or a similar button, select "Binance Wallet" or "Web3 Wallet" to authorize the connection. Once connected successfully, you can perform various operations within the DApp (such as providing liquidity, lending, playing games, etc.). All operations requiring on-chain interaction need to be confirmed and paid for in Gas fees in your Binance Web3 wallet.
Using the DApp browser
Core advantages of the Binance Web3 wallet
No need to record complex mnemonic phrases (initial phase). Users can easily create or restore wallets with just a few clicks within the Binance app, significantly reducing the entry barrier to Web3. Users still have the option to export mnemonic phrases. Transactions, financial management, market viewing, Web3 asset management, and DApp exploration can all be completed within the Binance app without switching between multiple applications. The asset transfer process with Binance exchange accounts is extremely simple and fast, eliminating the cumbersome steps and potential risks of traditional wallets, such as copying long addresses, selecting networks, and paying high Gas fees.
Adhering to the self-custody principle, users are responsible for the security of their assets, but this also means that Binance cannot touch or freeze the assets in users' wallets. Although Binance does not hold private keys, the integrated environment of the wallet benefits from the overall security measures of the Binance app, such as device management, biometric login (fingerprint/face recognition), and transaction confirmation mechanisms. When conducting on-chain transactions (such as token exchanges, NFT purchases), the wallet provides real-time Gas fee estimates and transaction risk scan prompts (such as token security risks, phishing address risks, etc.), helping users identify potential traps. Key operations (such as large transfers) usually require users to undergo additional security verification.
A single wallet address (based on MPC technology or smart contracts) can receive, send, and store native tokens and various tokens across multiple mainstream blockchains, with a clear asset view. The built-in DApp browser or discovery page features popular and curated DApps, allowing users to easily connect their wallets for interaction. The supported networks cover most active DeFi and NFT ecosystems.
Provides built-in decentralized exchange (DEX aggregation) services. Users can directly search for tokens within the wallet, compare exchange prices and slippage across different DEXs (such as PancakeSwap, Uniswap, etc.), and complete cross-chain or same-chain token exchanges with one click, eliminating the need to manually connect to DApps. It is convenient for users to view, manage, and trade their NFT collections across different chains (such as BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon). Users can directly browse listings on mainstream NFT markets like Opensea and conduct transactions within the wallet. It provides access to various DeFi protocols (such as liquidity mining, staking), helping users find opportunities to earn returns.
For certain specific chain operations (such as purchasing NFTs in the Binance NFT market), Binance may provide Gas fee subsidies to lower the user entry threshold. Users need to hold the native tokens of the corresponding chain (such as ETH for Ethereum, BNB for BNB Chain) to pay Gas fees. The wallet interface will clearly indicate the required Gas fees.
Summary
The Binance Web3 wallet is a key step for Binance to embrace the Web3 revolution, successfully bridging the strong centralized exchange security architecture and the freedom and ownership of the decentralized world. Its out-of-the-box convenience (especially for Binance users), self-custody security nature, rich multi-chain support, and built-in core Swap and NFT functions make it one of the ideal choices for newcomers entering Web3 and seasoned users managing multi-chain assets. Through the built-in DApp browser, users can seamlessly explore the thriving decentralized application ecosystem. The integrated deposit and withdrawal channels greatly simplify the flow of funds between centralized and decentralized worlds. However, power (control of private keys) and responsibility (ensuring security) coexist. Users must always remember the iron rule of safety first, properly safeguard their mnemonic phrases, and remain highly vigilant against risks.
