Wallet Setup for Binance Chain Compatibility

While Metamask is a widely used wallet and the one we suggest for this guide, you are free to choose other wallets. Throughout this tutorial, we will proceed with the assumption that you are using Metamask, as it is a common choice. However, setting up any wallet will likely follow a similar process.

The simplest method to integrate Binance Chain into your wallet is via Chainlist. You can accomplish this without any manual input by following these steps:

1. Visit Chainlist.

2. Click ‘Connect Wallet’ and, when prompted, select 'Approve' from your wallet.

3. Search for and select 'Binance Chain', then click 'Add to Metamask'.

4. Approve the subsequent notification from your wallet.

5. In the popup that follows, choose 'Switch network'.

6. You are now ready to utilize the Binance Chain network.

Alternatively, if you prefer not to use Chainlist, you can manually add Binance Chain to your wallet. Follow these instructions:

1. Open Metamask and access the network dropdown menu.

2. Click 'Add Network' when prompted.

3. Enter the following details on the 'Add a network' page:

   • Network name: BNB Smart Chain

   • RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/

   • Chain ID: 0x38 (or 56 in decimal, or if 0x38 doesn't work)

   • Currency symbol: BNB

   • Block Explorer URL: BscScan

   After entering the details, click 'Save'.

4. Your wallet is now connected to the Binance Chain network.
