Phase 1 Deadline Approaching
BNB Chain's Token Recovery Tool will transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 on 30 April 2026. This marks a significant change in how asset recovery requests are processed.
Key Changes After April 30:
- Recovery requests shift from individual processing to batch processing
- Processing timelines extend from 7 days to approximately 1 month
- Users planning to recover assets should act before the deadline for faster service
What This Means:
The tool is being phased out gradually. While recovery will still be possible after April 30, users will experience longer wait times. Those with pending recovery needs should submit requests during Phase 1 to benefit from the current 7-day turnaround.
Full details available in the official sunset plan.
30 April 2026 marks the end of Phase 1 for the Token Recovery Tool. After this, recovery requests move to batch processing with timelines extended to around 1 month. If you’re planning to recover assets, earlier is better 👇 bnbchain.org/en/blog/bnb-be…
