What Is LayerSwap?

With LayerSwap, you can send tokens from exchanges to Layer 2 networks and EVM-compatible chains with a higher speed and lower costs. 

Currently, LayerSwap users only need to pay ~$10 to withdraw from exchanges such as Coinbase and FTX to Layer 2 networks, including zkSync, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Loopring, as well as EVM-compatible chains, such as Polygon, Moonbeam, and Ronin.

Note:

  • The read-only Api Key and Api Secret are not available for withdrawal and swapping.
  • The read-only Api Key and Api Secret are required for Bransfer to access your withdrawal history and check the payment.
  • The read-only Api Key and Api Secret are accessible through your exchange account. Please reach out to customer service of Binance if you don’t know how to get them.

7. Initiate a withdrawal in Binance according to the “Address”, “Network”, and “Withdrawal amount in ETH” on the Bransfer page.

Note: please check the withdrawal details carefully to ensure that those displayed in Binance and on the Bransfer page are the same.
