Custom networks let you manually add a blockchain network to your Binance.US Wallet that isn't supported by default. This gives you access to different tokens, decentralized apps (dApps), and services on newer or less common blockchains. To add one, you'll need a few network details like the RPC URL, chain ID, and currency symbol.
Adding a custom network
Option A: Via Settings
Go to Settings, then General, then Custom Networks.
Tap Add Network at the bottom of the page.
Option B: Via the Assets page
Go to the Assets page.
Tap the network icon in the top-right corner. Switch to the Custom Networks tab and tap Add Network.
Enter the network details. You can find this information in the official documentation of the network you're adding. Here's what each field means:
• RPC URL: The node endpoint of the network. The network name, chain ID, and symbol may fill in automatically once you enter this.• Network name: The name of the network, e.g., Ethereum Sepolia.
• Chain ID: The unique identifier for the network, e.g., 11155111 for Ethereum Sepolia.
• Symbol: The native token symbol, e.g., ETH.
• Blockchain explorer URL (optional): The URL of the network's blockchain explorer.
Before you save: Only add custom networks from sources you trust. Malicious nodes can provide false blockchain data and put your assets at risk. Verify the network's security through a trusted third party before adding it.
Tap Save and confirm the risk warnings to add the network. It will then appear in your network list.
Please note:
Custom networks are device-specific. Adding a network on your phone won't automatically add it to other devices.
If you uninstall the app, you'll need to re-add your custom networks after restoring your wallet using your seed phrase, private key, or keyless wallet.
Editing a custom network
If your custom network's RPC node is unstable or you want to switch to a different one, you can update the RPC URL. Note that the chain ID can't be changed.
Go to Settings, then General, then Custom Networks, and select the network you want to edit.
You can also go to the Assets page, tap the network icon, switch to the Custom Networks tab, and tap ....
Update the network details and tap Save. You'll need to confirm the risk warnings again if you change the RPC URL.
Removing a custom network
Go to Settings, then General, then Custom Networks, and select the network you want to remove.
You can also go to the Assets page, tap the network icon, switch to the Custom Networks tab, and tap ....
Tap Delete at the bottom of the page and confirm.
Please note: You can't delete a network that's currently in use. Switch to a different network or disconnect any connected dApps first.
Viewing assets and transaction history on a custom network
After adding a custom network, select it from the network selector in the top-right corner of the Assets page. You'll see your token list and balance.
By default, only the native token is shown. To see other tokens, tap Manage Tokens to add them manually.
To view your transaction history, tap History on the Assets page. Note that we only display transactions initiated from the Binance.US app on this specific device since the network was added.
Sending tokens on a custom network
Tap Send on the Assets page to send tokens to another address, or connect to a dApp and initiate the transaction from there.
Review and sign the transaction. We'll recommend a network fee, but you can adjust it if needed.
Please note: Security detection isn't available for custom networks. Only interact with addresses and dApps you trust.
Frequently asked questions
What types of custom networks are supported?
Your Binance.US Wallet supports EVM-compatible networks like BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, and Optimism. Non-EVM networks like Solana aren't currently supported for direct addition.
Why can't I see my tokens after adding a custom network?
Only the native token is shown by default. Use the Manage Tokens feature to add other tokens manually.
Why isn't my balance updating on the custom network?
Balances on custom networks can take a few minutes to update due to RPC latency. Pull down on the Assets page to refresh manually.
What should I do if I get an error while adding a custom network?
Invalid RPC URL: Check that the URL is correct. Try opening it in your browser or use an alternative RPC endpoint.
Chain ID already exists: The chain ID conflicts with an existing network. If it duplicates an existing custom network, you can edit that network instead.
This RPC URL is risky: Your Binance.US Wallet flagged the URL as potentially unsafe. Switch to a different RPC URL.
Can I add a local node?
Yes. Note that you can't add new nodes to integrated networks or existing custom networks.
Tips for using custom networks safely
These tips cover the basics, but every custom network is different. Always do your own research before using one.
Do your due diligence. Not all custom networks are safe. Before transferring assets, make sure you fully understand the risks. Only use RPC providers you trust. Malicious nodes can falsify blockchain data, withhold transactions, or log your activity. Always verify network details from official sources.
Know the limits of our support. Your Binance.US Wallet is a tool for connecting to dApps and networks, but we don't offer technical support for every protocol or network you add.
