The BNB Chain extension wallet decommissioned Wallet Direct in preparation for a new offering to give a better experience to our users. It will be available in the coming months. Users that have already connected their addresses with Binance.com will not immediately be impacted.
New users can manage and transfer their assets between BNB Chain Extension Wallet and Binance.com by using Receive/Send on BNB Chain Extension Wallet and Withdraw/Deposit on Binance.com or using Binance Web3 DeFi Wallet. Existing users can also follow this process when wallet direct becomes unavailable to them ahead of the upgrade.

Wallet Direct streamlines asset transfers by seamlessly linking your BNB Chain Extension Wallet addresses with your Binance.com accounts. It allows you to quickly and easily move funds between them.

Decommissioning plan
As part of our decommissioning plan, we will implement the following steps:
Cease New Connections:

Continued Access for Existing Connections:

Automatic Disconnection:
Following a period, all connections between BNB Chain Extension Wallet and Binance.com accounts will be automatically disconnected. This will result in the removal of all Wallet Direct-related functionality.
BNB Chain aims to ensure a smooth transition process for all our users as we implement these changes.
