How to Set Up and Connect to Binance Smart Chain

How to Link the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) to MetaMask

One of the most widely used software wallets for cryptocurrency users worldwide is MetaMask. It is also quite simple to set up, and it works seamlessly with nearly all DeFi applications. Still, there's an issue. By default, it does show other chains.

Install MetaMask first

By going here, you may access the MetaMask wallet and install it right away. It's easy to add the extension to your browser after downloading it. Navigating to the settings of your browser will allow you to toggle the extension. "Extensions" is what you will discover under "More Tools." You will be sent to a screen after clicking it. You may view the extension by toggling the blue button located at the bottom right of each card.

Open your MetaMask wallet in step two

Your MetaMask (MM) wallet may be accessed in the upper right-hand corner of your screen when it has been correctly configured. Click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the screen after opening your wallet. The option to see your wallet on a larger screen will appear. You will be sent to a new tab containing your wallet as soon as you choose the second option.

Step 3: Include BSC Network Data

Setting up the BSC network will be much simpler for you now that the MetaMask wallet is open on a different screen. To access settings, just click on your profile symbol in the upper-right corner. The option labeled "Networks" will be located in the left-hand corner. After you click that, a screen similar to the one below will appear.

In order to add BSC, you must next click "Add Network." Technical details about the network you wish to add will need to be entered..

Step 4: Fund Your MetaMask Wallet with BNB

You may quickly move BNB between other Binance wallets, such as your Binance exchange account, and the MetaMask wallet after setting up the BSC network on your MetaMask wallet. All you have to do is visit your exchange and choose "Withdraw crypto" from your wallet.

This popup will appear once you choose to "Withdraw Crypto." As soon as possible, you must choose BNB as your coin. You now need to copy the address of your MM wallet in order to transfer BNB coins. To accomplish this, just click on your MetaMask account address, and it will be copied to the clipboard.

Paste your wallet address back into the Binance screen. It is quite probable that Binance would select the network automatically for BNB transfers. As you can see, it has already selected the BEP-20 network in this instance.

Keep in mind that if you don't choose the BSC network, your assets will be deleted! You must now choose "Withdraw" and input the amount you want to send. The commitments are just meant to serve as a reminder that your assets will be lost if you choose the incorrect network; you will be required to accept them. Make sure you confirm that the selection is limited to the BSC network.

Your transaction will be finalized after that. You will need to wait while the network processes it. The precise amount of BNB will be sent to your MetaMask wallet as soon as it is completed. That means your wallet is ready to go. Asset transfers between MM and your Binance account are simple. Link the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) to MetaMask.
