In order to delegate BNB to the validator of your choice, you will need to have BNB in a compatible wallet.
Getting a BNB wallet
Currently there are 2 official Binance Chain wallets, one a browser extension and the other a mobile app.
Only the Binance Chain extension wallet is able to delegate BNB to a validator on the Staking page at the time of writing.

How to withdraw from Binance
Follow the steps below to withdraw BNB from your Binance.com wallet into a Binance Chain wallet.
- Log in to your Binance account. Once you’re logged in, hover over the Wallet menu on the top navigation bar, and click on Fiat and Spot.
- Search for BNB in the Search bar.
- Click on Withdraw. You will be brought to the Withdrawal page.
- Enter your Binance Chain address that you can copy from the wallet you have or follow the previous section. Every Binance Chain address will start with the bnb prefix.
- Make sure you choose the right chain under the Transfer network. To delegate BNB, you will need to choose Binance Chain (BNB). Select carefully! This action is irreversible if you chose the wrong network.
- Enter the amount that you want to withdraw and click Submit to confirm the withdrawal.
Tip: Test with a small amount if you are new and make sure you can receive the amount before withdrawing a larger amount.
Note: you may leave the MEMO field blank when prompted
