These fees, also known as gas fees, are required to compensate miners or validators for the computational resources they contribute to process and confirm transactions on the network. The exact fees may vary depending on the network traffic and the blockchain you’re using.

6. Is Binance Web3 Wallet a self-custody wallet? Who has control over my funds?

Yes, Binance Web3 Wallet is a self-custody wallet. You have full control over your funds and assets. Therefore, you’re solely responsible for safeguarding your assets and backing up your wallet.

7. What is a Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallet and how does it work?

Multi-Party Computation (MPC) is an enhanced cryptography security mechanism. It alters the traditional method of storing private keys by eliminating the need to retain them in one sole location. In this way, MPC lowers the risk of the keys being compromised and reduces the vulnerability of the system.

Please refer to this guide for more details.

8. Do I need to back up my Binance Web3 Wallet?

Binance Web3 Wallet employs Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to create three key-shares, which are then stored in different locations for added security. These locations include your cloud storage and device. It is crucial that you protect the key-share stored on the cloud by implementing encryption using a recovery password that's solely known to you. Please refer to this guide for more details.

9. Can I restore my Web3 Wallet?

Yes, you can restore your Web3 Wallet. When using a new device, connect your Binance app to the previously used cloud service and decrypt your key-share using the recovery password.

10. Can I get my seed phrases or private keys?

There are no seed phrases for Binance Web3 Wallet. Instead, it’s an MPC wallet that requires you to store private key-shares in different locations.

11. What can I do if I forget my wallet recovery password?

Your recovery password is crucial in encrypting your Web3 Wallet’s key-share on cloud storage. Should you forget your password and lose access to your device or delete the Binance app, you won’t be able to access your Web3 Wallet and Binance won't be able to restore it for you.

If you forget your recovery password, backing up your Web3 Wallet immediately is highly recommended.

*Please note that you can only back up your Web3 Wallet if you can access it. If you’ve lost access to your Web3 Wallet, you won’t be able to do so.

12. Can I import a wallet to my Web3 Wallet?

3. Tap [+] on the top left and choose [Import Wallet].

Enter the seed phrase of the wallet you wish to import. Tap [Import] and your wallet will be added.

Currently, the Binance app only supports single-device login. You cannot use your Web3 Wallet on multiple devices at the same time.

14. Why can’t I see my funds in the Web3 Wallet?

You can view your Web3 Wallet funds on the wallet homepage. If you’ve transferred funds to your Web3 Wallet but they haven’t arrived, please refer to Why Hasn’t My Deposit Been Credited.

15. Why is my transaction pending?

This could be because the gas fee you paid for this transaction is lower than the minimum required amount. When this happens, please consider using the speed-up function to accelerate your transaction.

16. If my transaction fails, do I need to pay any network fees?

If the transaction has been executed but failed, you’ll still need to pay a gas fee.

17. If I sent my funds to the wrong address, can I request a refund?

Binance won’t be able to refund you if you send your funds to the wrong address. Please always make sure the address is correct before confirming a transaction.

Although Binance Web3 Wallet, a self-custodial wallet, does not compel users to complete identity verification, it is important to note that it is embedded within the Binance app. Hence, to create a Binance Web3 Wallet, you have to be a verified Binance user and comply with the Binance Terms of Use.

19. If I lose funds in dApps, can I request for a refund?

No. Binance Web3 Wallet solely provides the means for users to access dApps, and does not associate with the operations of these third-party protocols. Therefore, users are advised to independently research and engage with dApps at their own discretion and understanding of trust.

20. How does Binance Web3 Wallet compare with Trust Wallet?

Binance Web3 Wallet and Trust Wallet are two distinct products. Depending on users’ preferences and needs, one might be more suitable than the other.

Binance Web3 Wallet is designed with ease of use, convenience and security in mind. The wallet offers Binance users a seamless way to explore Web3, without the risk of losing seed phrases. Integrated directly within the Binance app, users can activate their Web3 Wallet and transition between CeFi and DeFi with a single tap. Users will also be able to swap thousands of tokens cross-chain, earn yield on their crypto, explore dApps – all in one secure wallet.

Users already familiar with Web3, and who are looking for more sophisticated features, may find Trust Wallet to be a more suitable offering. Trust Wallet’s native dApp browser provides unrestricted access to the full spectrum of dApps available, and caters to the needs of advanced users without necessitating integration with the Binance Exchange. As such, Trust Wallet is an optimal solution for individuals who operate beyond the Binance ecosystem or prefer not to link their wallet activities with their Binance trading accounts.

Binance Web3 Wallet is developed in partnership with the product and engineering team at Trust Wallet, leveraging Trust Wallet’s Wallet as a Service (WaaS), but Binance maintains autonomous control over Web3 Wallet’s features, operations, and services
