The $REEF token bridge at reefbridge.app is now permanently closed. As of 17:18:53 UTC today, users can no longer bridge $REEF from Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain to Reef Chain.
This closure was announced months ago, with the bridge scheduled to close in Q1 2026. A few weeks ago, we confirmed that the remaining $REEF allocation would not be refilled, giving users final notice to complete their migrations. The bridge had been operational since 27 February 2025.
Approximately 9.86 billion legacy $REEF tokens remain unmigrated—4,325,757,067 on BNB Smart Chain and 5,533,453,218 on Ethereum. These tokens can no longer be bridged to Reef Chain permissionlessly. $REEF being custodied by centralized exchanges may still be migrated.
The bridge closure is permanent. There will be no future migration windows.
If you still hold $REEF on Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain, you have the following options:
Sell legacy tokens on decentralized exchanges. Liquidity pools for legacy $REEF may still exist on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain. You can access these through aggregators like Matcha.
Purchase native $REEF. Native $REEF on Reef Chain is available through supported centralized exchanges or directly at ReefSwap.
The following exchanges have completed the swap and offer native $REEF: MEXC, Gate, CoinEx, Hotcoin, WhiteBIT, KuCoin, CoinSpot, Bitrue, Poloniex, HTX, BitMart, and Paribu.
Other centralized exchanges have until March 16, 2026 to announce support for the native token swap. We cannot guarantee that additional exchanges will participate.
A full list of supported exchanges is available at reef.io.
We are updating all relevant documentation to remove references to legacy $REEF contract addresses on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain. Bridging documentation at docs.reef.io will be revised to reflect the permanent closure.
If you have questions about the bridge closure or your options, reach out through Discord, Telegram, or the chat feature at docs.reef.io.
With the token unification complete, Reef is focused on delivering the Deep Current upgrade and building the tokenized equity platform throughout 2026. For more on what's ahead:
