How to Bridge $ALEO Between Aleo and BNB Smart Chain (BSC)

4 min readSep 25, 2025

Verulink is the official cross-chain bridge for Aleo. It first launched as the trusted Ethereum ↔ Aleo bridge, giving users access to Aleo’s privacy layer while preserving Ethereum’s liquidity and functionality. That milestone established Verulink as the secure onramp into Aleo’s privacy-first ecosystem.

Building on that foundation, Verulink has now expanded to BNB Smart Chain (BSC). The BSC bridge at bsc.verulink.com allows users to move $ALEO seamlessly between Aleo and BSC. On Aleo, you hold native $ALEO, while on BSC you receive wrapped $ALEO. Every transfer is secured by multi-signature Attestors, screened in real time, and finalized in about 15 minutes with a flat 0.1% fee.

Step 1: Connect Your Wallets

Click Connect Wallet in the top-right corner. You’ll see options to connect either a BSC wallet or an Aleo wallet.

To connect your BSC wallet, choose from options like WalletConnect, MetaMask, or Coinbase Wallet. Once you select one, you’ll need to accept the connection request within your wallet.

To connect your Aleo wallet, you can choose from wallets like Leo Wallet, Puzzle Wallet, or Fox Wallet. You will need to confirm the connection and understand the risks involved to proceed.

Step 2: Select Both Wallets

Once connected, both wallet addresses will appear at the top bar. You can see your connected BSC address alongside your Aleo address.

Step 3: Transfer between Aleo and BSC

Verulink supports transferring $ALEO in both directions between Aleo and BNB Smart Chain.

From Aleo to BSC: You send native $ALEO on Aleo, and the bridge mints the equivalent amount of wrapped $ALEO on BNB Smart Chain.

The minimum transfer amount is 10 $ALEO. If you’re bridging to your own connected wallet, simply click the wallet icon in the receiving address field and your address will be filled in automatically.

From BSC to Aleo: You send wrapped $ALEO on BNB Smart Chain, and the bridge releases the same amount as native $ALEO on Aleo.

Step 4: Enter the Transfer Amount

Enter the amount of $ALEO you want to bridge. The bridge has a flat 0.1% fee and will show you the estimated time (~15 minutes) along with the exact amount you’ll receive on the destination chain.

Step 5: Confirm the Transaction

Click Start Transaction. A confirmation modal will appear showing the details of your transfer — chain, amount, and destination address. Review carefully and click Confirm Transaction.

Confirm the transaction on your wallet. This process will take 15 minutes. You can check the progress and the ETA on the Recent Transaction tab on the top right corner of your screen.

Step 6: Mint Manually

After the transaction has been completed, you would need to mint manually.

Your tokens are now available in the BSC chain to mint. Simply click on the Claim Token button to claim them.

Step 7: Completion

Once finalized, your bridged tokens will appear in the wallet on the destination chain — native $ALEO on Aleo, wrapped $ALEO on BSC.

Conclusion

Verulink makes it simple and secure to move $ALEO between Aleo and BNB Smart Chain. Transfers finalize in about 15 minutes with a flat 0.1% fee, giving you native $ALEO on Aleo and wrapped $ALEO on BSC for seamless access across both ecosystems.
