How to Deposit WAXP on Binance

If you want to send WAXP from your WAX cloud wallet to Binance, it couldn't be simpler.

Binance listed WAXP on their excellent crypto exchange and now you can trade WAXP for BTC (Bitcoin), USDT (Tether), BNB (Binance Coin) and BUSD (Binance USD).

Why would you want to deposit WAXP on Binance? If you have some WAXP lying around, maybe from an epic NFT sale, you may want to exchange it for another Cryptocurrency. This is one of the first steps if you want to 'cash out' your WAXP or if you want to sit on another crypto token.

This may be for investment reasons or maybe you want to store your money in a stablecoin such as Tether or Binance USD (tied to the US Dollar value) whilst you wait for the next hot NFT drop.

So how do I deposit WAXP from my WAX cloud Wallet to Binance?

Here is how you do it!

1. Getting Started: Binance & WAX Account

First off, you need to make sure you have a WAX wallet. If you have got one great! If you don't, follow our easy 3 step guide to getting started.

You also need a Binance account. This is really simple to do by following the steps on the registration page.

You usually need ID verification for the next steps. It's really quick to do, just make sure you have a Driving Licence or Passport ready.

Once you have both accounts, you are ready to transfer WAXP to Binance.

2. Sending WAXP to Binance

Ok, so you have some WAXP in your WAX wallet and you want to send this to Binance to trade for another Cryptocurrency.

Desktop

Once you are logged in, start by clicking 'Wallet' in the top right dropdown menu:

Binance Deposit

Click the 'Deposit' button near the top left of the screen:

'Deposit' option on desktop

Next, you have the option to deposit Crypto or Fiat. Select 'Crypto Deposit':

Binance Crypto Deposit

Use the drop-down 'select coin' menu to search for WAX:

Use 'select coin' dropdown
Binance WAXP

It's likely this is your first time doing this, so you will see the following message:

Click 'Get Address' and this will generate your wallet Address and deposit Memo. You will also see this warning:

Binance MEMO

You NEED the MEMO alongside the WAX address. Don't forget this or your WAX will be lost.

Once you click ok, you will see your deposit and Memo. For example:

Binance WAXP Address

As you can see above, in this example the address is 'waxonbinance' (which will be the main WAX wallet for Binance) and the unique MEMO '100940002'. The MEMO is used to identify your account so you need this alongside the WAX address to transfer successfully.

Leave this page open and open a new tab navigating to the WAX Cloud Wallet & login.

Once logged in, click on 'send' in the right navigation menu:

WAX Cloud Wallet Send

Select 'WAXP' as the token you want to send:

WAXP Token to send

Select the amount you want to send. You can enter in dollars or WAXP. In this example, we will send $10 (rolling in it!):

WAXP choose amount to send

You will then see an option to add a WAX account and MEMO. You can easily copy the WAX address and MEMO from your Binance tab:

Click to copy your WAX address & Memo

You do also get the option to use a QR code, but we find it simpler to copy and paste within the WAX Wallet fields. Like this:

Choose an Account to send WAXP

Always remember to triple check the details are correct.

When you click 'Next' you will be asked to Approve the transaction:

WAXP transaction request

Once approved, you will get a success message like this:

WAXP transaction Success

Before you click 'ok', click on the blue transaction ID. This helps for a little peace of mind whilst you nervously await the funds to hit your Binance account!

This will take you to wax.blocks.io where you can review the transaction on the blockchain:

View the transaction on the blockchain and select the wallet you transferred the funds to

Click on the WAX wallet you transferred the funds to (for example, 'waxonbinance') under the 'Actions' section and this will show you funds received at this address:

Look for your WAX wallet address to find the transaction. You will see the amounts and the memo over to the right-hand side. If all of these details are correct, don't worry, your funds will arrive shortly.

If you notice that the memo isn't correct or your funds don't arrive after 'a long time' then don't panic. Take note of the transaction ID (under the TX heading) and log an appeal with Binance.

Usually, funds will arrive within 30 minutes and you will be notified by email.

If you navigate back to 'wallet' and then 'overview' you will see the WAX icon next to your 'Fiat and Spot' wallet:

Fiat and Spot Wallet

Click on the icon and you will see your balance and trading options:

Binance WAXP balance

If you click on any of the trading options, it will take you straight to the trading page (which we will cover in a separate article - coming soon).

You need to copy these details over to your WAX Cloud wallet. We recommend using the copy buttons as the simplest way to do this.

Log in to your WAX wallet and click the WAX logo in the top right of your screen.

Select 'Send' from the menu, choose WAXP as your token, choose the amount you want to send as dollars or WAX, copy your WAX wallet address AND MEMO from the Binance app over the 'choose account' fields in your WAX wallet and approve the transaction (triple check the details are correct:
