BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2/BEP8)
BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2/BEP8) was retired through BNB Chain Fusion; final sunset hardfork 19 November 2024 halted the chain. Mirrored assets can still be recovered to BNB Smart Chain via self-service tools after the hosted recovery dApp sunset phases.
1. History reconstruction
Where leftover records may still live.
Explorers / archives: Beacon Chain explorers / balance dumps published post-fusion; BSC recovery contract flows.
Software: Treat BEP2→BEP20 recovery as a migration event; keep pre- and post-fusion lots distinct.
- Only mirrored BEP2/BEP8 tokens are recoverable; unmirrored assets may be permanently lost.
- Hosted recovery tool discontinued 1 July 2026 — use self-service GitHub tool.
