What is the Panama Project?
Note:
Binance Panama Service is rebranded with a new name: Binance Bridge. https://twitter.com/Binance_DEX/status/1321281307003924481
Panama is a bridge service that provides access to inter-blockchain liquidity for decentralized applications on Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain. The bridge allows crypto assets to be converted between the native blockchain and Binance Chain/Binance Smart Chain.
The conversion will take less than 2-3 minutes with zero conversion fees. You only need to pay the network fees when sending a token to the bridge and fees for moving the converted asset to the destination address.
Supported Assets:
Binance Bridge will support more digital assets soon.
