To swap BNB to AAVE, enter the BNB amount, paste the 0x Ethereum address that should receive the AAVE plus the BSC address you send from, then send BNB on BNB Smart Chain to the deposit address. The AAVE is paid as the original ERC-20 token on Ethereum mainnet, with no account and no ID needed.

Same 0x address, two separate chains
BNB Smart Chain copied the Ethereum address format, so the 0x address you use for BNB in MetaMask or Rabby is also a valid Ethereum address. That makes this swap easy to set up: you can often paste your own wallet address into the payout field and send the BNB from that same account.
The catch is that the two chains keep separate balances behind that one address. Your BNB lives on BNB Smart Chain. The AAVE you receive lives on Ethereum. When the payout lands, a wallet that is still switched to BNB Smart Chain shows nothing new, and people assume the swap failed.
Switch the network selector to Ethereum Mainnet and the AAVE balance appears. If the token is not listed, add it from the token list in MetaMask or Rabby. To confirm the payout without any wallet setup, look up your address on Etherscan and open the token transfers tab.
Sending BNB from BNB Smart Chain
The deposit for this pair is native BNB on BNB Smart Chain, the chain whose explorer is BscScan. BNB also exists in other forms, such as a token on Ethereum or on opBNB. Those versions sit on other networks, and a deposit from them does not reach the swap.
Before you press send, check that the wallet says BNB Smart Chain (sometimes shown as BSC or BNB Chain). Trust Wallet, MetaMask and Rabby all label it in the network menu.
The network fee for the deposit is also paid in BNB, so keep a little behind rather than sending the full balance. A BSC deposit usually confirms in under a minute. Once it does, the exchange runs and most swaps finish within minutes. The rate comes from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets and floats until that confirmation.
The AAVE you receive is ERC-20 on Ethereum
AAVE is the governance token of the Aave lending protocol, and its original contract is on Ethereum. That is the version this pair pays. Bridged copies of AAVE exist on BNB Smart Chain and other networks, but they use different contracts, and they are not what lands in your wallet here.
Because the payout is an Ethereum token, everything you do with it later costs gas in ETH, not BNB. Moving the AAVE to another wallet, delegating votes or depositing it into a protocol all need a small ETH balance at the same address. If your 0x address has never held ETH, send some to it before you plan to move the tokens.
Holding the AAVE does not need ETH. The tokens sit at your address until you decide to use them.
BNB and AAVE side by side
| BNB (you send) | AAVE (you receive) | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | BNB Smart Chain | Ethereum mainnet |
| Asset type | Native coin | ERC-20 token |
| Address | 0x plus 40 hex characters | 0x plus 40 hex characters |
| Confirmation | Under a minute | About 2 to 5 minutes |
| Gas paid in | BNB | ETH |
| Wallets | Trust Wallet, MetaMask, Rabby | MetaMask, Rabby, Ledger |
| Explorer | BscScan | Etherscan |
The rows that look identical are the ones that cause trouble. A shared address format does not mean a shared network, and the gas row is the one people forget. The deposit side is paid for in BNB; anything you do with the AAVE afterwards is paid for in ETH.
Why holders move from BNB to AAVE
Most people on this route already use BNB Smart Chain for low-cost transfers and want a position in Ethereum DeFi. AAVE gives a say in how the Aave protocol is run: holders vote on proposals or delegate their voting power to someone else. Some holders also stake AAVE in the protocol's own safety module, which carries its own terms and risks that you should read first.
Doing this by hand usually means bridging BNB to Ethereum, then trading it there, with gas on both legs and a wrapped token in the middle. This pair takes BNB on one chain and pays the original AAVE on the other in a single swap. There is no account to open and no ID to upload.
For the background on how these two-chain swaps work, see the cross-chain swap guide.
Refunds, tracking and support
After you send, the status page follows the swap from deposit to payout. Your BNB transaction shows on BscScan and the AAVE transfer shows on Etherscan, so you can check both sides yourself.
If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered. For this pair that is your BNB Smart Chain address, which is why the sender field should hold an address you control rather than an exchange account.
Most problems come from two slips: sending BNB from a different network than BNB Smart Chain, or sending a different amount from the one the box was set up for. If the status stops moving, write to support@ghostswap.io with the swap ID from the status page and the BscScan link of your deposit.
Common mistakes
- Sending BNB from Ethereum or opBNB instead of BNB Smart Chain.
- Looking for the AAVE while the wallet is still set to BNB Smart Chain; switch to Ethereum Mainnet.
- Expecting AAVE on BNB Smart Chain; this pair pays the ERC-20 token on Ethereum.
- Planning to move the AAVE right away with no ETH at the receiving address for gas.
- Sending the whole BNB balance and leaving nothing for the BSC network fee.

Pick BNB in “You send” and AAVE in “You get”, then enter the amount. The box shows how much AAVE you get and the minimum BNB for this pair.
Enter Aave Address
Paste the Ethereum address that should receive the AAVE (it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters). Then enter the BNB Smart Chain address you send BNB from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.
Send BNB
Send exactly the amount shown from your own BNB Smart Chain wallet to the one-time deposit address.
Receive Aave
Your AAVE is paid out once your BNB deposit confirms, and Ethereum then confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Most swaps finish within minutes. The exact time depends on how fast each network confirms your deposit. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.
