BNB announcement

BNB Chain has made a recent announcement to update all community members about the final sunset plan of the BNB Chain Wallet (BEW) browser extensions.

The sunset of BEW will take effect Oct. 15, 2025. On this date, BEW will be removed from Chrome and Firefox extension stores, with a final sunset occurring on this date.

This update affects how users will be able to access and manage BEW moving forward. The BNB Chain Wallet extension began its sunset process Sept. 15, 2025, with no further updates, bug fixes, or support provided again.

The sunset of BEW does not affect the safety of user funds as long as they have securely backed up their seed phrases or private keys; assets can be recovered in another wallet.
