Configuring MetaMask

MetaMask wallet has shown to be effective for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, especially for use on the Binance Smart Chain.

Installing MetaMask Wallet

You can install MetaMask on Chrome, Firefox, or IOS and Android if you’re a mobile user. The first thing you need to do is head over to the MetaMask download page and select whichever platform you’re using. Then, follow the instructions to install it on your device. It is quite easy.

The next step is to follow along with the setup specified by the app. Go ahead and click Create a Wallet. Make sure you write down your seed phrase somewhere secret. Ideally, it should not be on the Internet-connected device.

Connecting MetaMask to BSC Network

At worst, you can lose all your funds by sending them to addresses you cannot use. In order to change that, you need to follow a few easy steps depicted below.

Step 1: Open your MetaMask click the colored circle in top right corner of your wallet and go to “Settings" in the bottom

Step 2: Select “Networks” and press the “Add Network” button.

Step 3: Insert the following information.

Step 4: Select the newly added BSC network and you will be connected to the BSC network.
