Bridge BNB to ETH

TL;DR: Learn how to move assets from BNB Chain to Ethereum or vice versa using Garden’s non-custodial, intent-based bridge.

Looking for a secure way to bridge BNB to ETH or any other tokens between BNB Chain and Ethereum? With Garden, you can transfer assets seamlessly between BNB Chain and Ethereum in minutes, without giving up custody or control.

Cross-chain interoperability has become essential in DeFi. With value spread across multiple blockchains, users need a trustless BNB to Ethereum bridge that delivers speed, reliability, and security. 

Why Bridge Between BNB Chain and Ethereum?

Both BNB Chain and Ethereum are leading ecosystems in DeFi, each offering unique advantages:

• BNB Chain powers fast, low-cost transactions, making it ideal for active trading and dApp usage. With a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $7.53 billion, it continues to attract retail users and developers seeking scalability.
• Ethereum remains the home of the deepest liquidity pools and the most established DeFi protocols. With a TVL of $85.4 billion, Ethereum dominates the market, holding the largest share across all blockchains.

Together, these two chains represent over $92.9 billion in locked value out of the $146 billion DeFi total, making them critical pillars of the ecosystem.

Using a BNB to Ethereum bridge like Garden allows you to:

• Access exclusive DeFi opportunities across both ecosystems
• Diversify holdings to manage risk and maximize yield
• Swap into stablecoins like USDC for liquidity and hedging
• Optimize yield farming and staking strategies

Garden’s Atomic Swap Mechanism

Garden is the fastest BNB to Ethereum bridge, completing swaps in as little as 30 seconds. Its intent-based architecture and Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs) guarantee trustless, peer-to-peer settlement.

How it works:

• You deposit your assets into an HTLC on the source chain.
• A Market Maker/solver locks the corresponding assets on the destination chain.
• If you claim the assets on the destination chain, the Market Maker automatically receives your original deposit.

This design ensures:

• Non-custodial safety (no middleman ever controls your assets)
• Atomic swaps (transactions either succeed fully or fail safely)

FAQs

What if my transaction fails?

Garden only processes your deposit once a matching order is found. If the user doesn’t initiate the transaction, or if it isn't confirmed within an hour of order creation, the transaction is automatically canceled and the deposit is instantly refunded.

What assets are supported?

Currently: ETH, WBTC, USDC, and cbBTC on Ethereum; BNB, BTCB, and USDC on BNB Chain. We're actively working to add more assets based on user demand.

Does Garden support other chains?

Yes. Beyond Ethereum and BNB Chain, Garden supports Bitcoin, Solana, Arbitrum, HyperEVM, Unichain, and a few other chains. Each integration maintains the same atomic swap security model.

How long do swaps take on Garden?

Most swaps complete within 30seconds to 10 minutes max, depending on network congestion. 

Is Garden safe?

Yes. Swaps on Garden are atomic; either the swap is fully completed, or you receive your asset back. Our smart contracts have undergone multiple security audits from Zellic, Trail of Bits, and Ottersec.
