The Binance Web3 Wallet is a decentralized wallet built into the Binance APP, allowing users to explore the on-chain world without leaving the Binance APP.

  • Multi-chain support: Supports over 30 blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana, and more
  • Built-in Swap: Swap tokens across chains directly within the wallet
  • DApp Browser: Access thousands of decentralized applications

6. Airdrop Center

What Are On-Chain Airdrops

On-chain airdrops are events where projects distribute free tokens to active users, rewarding early participants.

Using the Airdrop Center

  1. Go to Web3 Wallet > "Airdrop" or "Earn"
  2. View available airdrop events
  3. Understand participation requirements
  4. Complete designated on-chain operations (e.g., interacting with specific contracts, staking tokens, etc.)
  5. Wait for the airdrop distribution

Airdrop Precautions

  • Not all airdrops have value; exercise discernment
  • Some airdrops require on-chain operations first (incurring gas fees)
  • Do not expose your private keys or sign malicious transactions for airdrops
  • The value of airdropped tokens is uncertain

7. Security Management

Authorization Management

Regularly check which DApps your Web3 wallet has authorized:

  1. Go to Web3 wallet settings
  2. Find "Authorization Management" or "Connected DApps"
  3. Review all authorized contracts
  4. Revoke authorizations that are no longer in use

Transaction Security

  • Review every transaction: Carefully check the contract address and call parameters before confirming
  • Watch gas fees: Abnormally high gas fees may signal a malicious contract
  • Small-amount testing: Use small amounts when interacting with a new DApp for the first time

Wallet Security Settings

  • Enable biometric verification (fingerprint/face recognition)
  • Set up security verification for transaction confirmations
  • Complete recovery key backup
  • Avoid conducting large transactions on public networks
