Hey there, crypto fam! If you're deep into the world of meme tokens on BNB Chain, you've probably felt the sting of gas fees eating into your gains. Well, buckle up because BNB Chain just dropped a reminder that's music to every degen's ears: zero gwei for moving USDT and USD1 this October. That's right—no fees at all. Let's dive into what this means and why it's a game-changer, especially for the meme token scene.
What's the Zero Fee Carnival All About?
Picture this: transferring stablecoins like USDT and USD1 on BNB Chain without paying a single satoshi in gas fees. That's the essence of the Zero Fee Carnival, a promo that's been running since September 2024 and now extended all the way to October 31, 2025. BNB Chain announced this extension back in June 2025, but their recent tweet is a timely nudge as we hit Q4.
In simple terms, gwei is the unit for gas fees on Ethereum-compatible chains like BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and opBNB. Normally, you'd pay a tiny fraction of BNB to cover transaction costs. But during this carnival, BNB Chain foots the bill, making transfers completely free for eligible stablecoins. They've already covered over $4 million in gas fees since launch, which has skyrocketed user activity—BNB Chain topped the charts for stablecoin transactions and monthly active users in May and June 2025.
How Does It Work?
The promo covers three main ways to move your stables fee-free:
CEX Withdrawals: Pull USDT or USD1 from exchanges like Binance, Bitget, MEXC, and others directly to BSC or opBNB without fees. There's usually a minimum amount, like $10 on Binance, but it's straightforward and saves you big on withdrawal charges.
Wallet Transfers: Using wallets such as Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, or Bitget Wallet? You get unlimited free transfers for USD1 and up to two per day for USDT, as long as each is at least $0.10 worth. This is perfect for zipping funds between addresses on BSC—think funding your next meme token play without extra costs.
Bridging from Other Chains: Got USDT stuck on Ethereum, Polygon, or Avalanche? Bridges like Celer cBridge and Meson.fi let you move it to BNB Chain with full rebates, effectively zeroing out the fees. BNB Chain and the bridges handle all the costs.
Note that FDUSD and USDC were part of the deal until June 30, 2025, but now it's all about USDT and USD1. If you're bridging, it's USDT-only for now.
