Binance has launched a new Web3 wallet service that simplifies and secures user engagement with Web3 technologies, such as DeFi and dApps, for its vast user base of over 140 million.
The crypto exchange announced this development at its ongoing Blockchain Week conference in Istanbul, Turkey, on Tuesday, November 8 2023.
The Web3 wallets are essentially self-custody wallets that provide customers with the tools to manage their digital assets securely. Users can access the service within the primary Binance app for a familiar and user-friendly interface since they already use it for trading cryptocurrencies.
The wallet also includes a range of features like token swapping, fund transfers, and the ability to earn yields on cryptocurrency holdings. It’s compatible with over 30 blockchain networks.
According to Binance, the wallet was developed with the Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. This technology divides a user’s private keys into three smaller parts, known as key shares. The purpose is to enhance security by spreading the risk and reducing the reliance on a single entity.
Binance’s move to release the wallet reflects a broader move within the cryptocurrency industry to make financial autonomy and blockchain-based services more accessible.
Recently, South Korea’s SK Telecom partnered with blockchain firm Aptos and Atomrigs Lab to develop a web3 wallet service for its customers. The telecom company, which has been actively involved in the web3 space, pointed out that the partnership is a move to expand its services in the sector to a wider audience. It also emphasized its commitment to delivering a seamless and secure web3 experience for its users.
Meanwhile, Binance has followed in the footsteps of OKX, which upgraded its Web3 wallet services with MPC technology in April 2023.

2026 brought DeFi Upgrade with three core services
The new Binance Wallet DeFi experience is built around three areas, including DeFi Earn, DeFi Loans and Liquidity Pools. DeFi Earn gives users access to on-chain yield opportunities across supported protocols. DeFi Loans allows users to access borrowing services directly from the wallet, while Liquidity Pools lets users add liquidity, remove positions and claim accumulated fees without leaving the application.
Binance currently supports liquidity-management functions for protocols including Uniswap v3, Uniswap v4, PancakeSwap v3 and PancakeSwap Infinity, with availability varying by blockchain and protocol version. For borrowing, Binance Wallet currently provides access to Venus and has said support for Lista is coming on BNB Smart Chain.
dApp access has also expanded
In January 2024, Binance added 19 dApps spanning DeFi, exchanges, gaming and social applications, including 1inch, Compound, Curve, GMX, Maker, Sushi and Yearn Finance. It also expanded its swap infrastructure to 29 DEXs and 15 bridges through Li.Fi integration.
By May 2025, Binance Wallet had added another 10 dApps covering areas such as DeFi, gaming, NFTs and portfolio management. This gradual expansion means Binance is increasingly treating its wallet as an application-discovery layer rather than simply a place where users store assets.
