This means the wallet will be removed from all extension stores, marking the end of support for the long-running browser tool.
The decision comes as part of BNB Chain’s effort to streamline its ecosystem and encourage users to transition to more modern and secure wallet solutions.
Transitioning to Trusted Alternatives
The sunset process will begin a month earlier, on September 15, 2025, when BEW will stop receiving updates, bug fixes, or customer support. After the final removal date, users who still have the wallet installed will technically be able to access it, but only at their own risk. BNB Chain has reassured users that funds remain safe, provided that individuals securely back up their seed phrases and private keys before uninstalling the extension.
BNB Chain is advising BEW users to take action now to ensure a smooth transition. The network recommends backing up all recovery information, uninstalling the BEW extension, and migrating to a trusted alternative such as Trust Wallet, Binance Wallet, or MetaMask. Each of these wallets is compatible with BNB Smart Chain assets and offers active support, improved interfaces, and ongoing development.
Important: The BNB Chain Wallet (BEW) browser extension will officially sunset on Oct 15, 2025.
This means BEW will be removed from extension stores on that date.

This shift mirrors a broader industry trend toward more secure and feature-rich wallet solutions. Over the past two years, wallet providers have been rapidly integrating multi-chain functionality, advanced security tools, and user-friendly designs. For example, Trust Wallet recently introduced real-time transaction alerts and biometric authentication, making it easier for users to manage crypto holdings safely. These upgrades reflect the growing demand for wallets that combine simplicity with security.

Because swaps consume more gas, this surge shows why “gas used” is a better measure of network performance than simple transaction counts. At the same time, BNB Chain increased its gas limit by 33% to 100 million, boosting throughput for DeFi and trading while maintaining ultra-fast 0.75-second block times.
