Binance Smart Chain is a blockchain that is EVM-compatible. This means that it can run smart contracts and decentralized applications (dapps) that are built on Ethereum.
Binance Smart Chain is integrated with the Binance Chain, which means it has the same high-performance, low-cost transactions that the Binance Chain is known for.
The first step in getting a Binance Smart Chain Wallet is to choose which type of wallet you want. There are three types of wallets that you can use:
1. Desktop Wallet: A desktop wallet is a software program that you download and install on your computer.
The most popular desktop wallet for Binance Smart Chain is MetaMask.
2. Mobile Wallet: A mobile wallet is a app that you download and install on your smartphone.
The most popular mobile wallet for Binance Smart Chain is Trust Wallet.
3. Hardware Wallet: A hardware wallet is a physical device that you can use to store your cryptocurrency offline.
The most popular hardware wallet for Binance Smart Chain is Ledger Nano S.
Once you’ve decided which type of wallet you want to use, the next step is to choose which cryptocurrency you want to store in your wallet. Binance Smart Chain supports all of the major cryptocurrencies, so you can choose whichever one you want.
For this guide, we will assume that you want to store Bitcoin in your wallet.
The next step is to actually get the wallet and set it up. We will walk you through the process for each type of wallet below:
1. Desktop Wallet: If you chose to use MetaMask as your desktop wallet, the first thing you need to do is go to the MetaMask website and click “Download Now.
” Once the file has downloaded, double-click it to install MetaMask on your computer. Once MetaMask is installed, open it and click “Create a New Wallet.” You will be asked to create a password for your MetaMask account; make sure to choose a strong password that you will remember!.
Once you’ve created your account,MetaMask will generate a 12-word seed phrase for you; this seed phrase is used to recover your account if you forget your password, so make sure to write it down somewhere safe! After you’ve written down your seed phrase, click “I’ve Saved My Seed Phrase.” You will then be asked to confirm your seed phrase by typing it into the box; once you’ve done so, click “Import.” MetaMask will then ask you which network you want to connect to; select “Custom RPC” from the dropdown menu and enter the following URL into the box: https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.
