How to Transfer BNB to an External Wallet?

To use BNB, you need to transfer it to an external Cheelee wallet. Here's how:

  • Use the transfer option on your chosen exchange to send funds to an external Cheelee wallet.

  • Make sure to select the correct network (BEP20) and enter the accurate wallet address. For address details, check the article about the external wallet.

  • Confirm the transfer and wait for the transaction to complete.

Why BNB?

BNB is the main token of the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and follows the BEP-20 standard. We chose BNB for transaction fees because:

  • It enables fast and low-cost transactions—about 0.0009 BNB per operation on Cheelee, which is roughly 63 cents.

  • BNB is supported by most popular wallets and exchanges, making it convenient and secure for trading, selling, and buying.

We recommend Cheelee users fund their external wallets with an amount of BNB equivalent to $10, which should last a long time.
