How to run ERC20 wallet on BSC network via Metamask (Tips and Tricks)

[Davian144]

If you are still confused about running an Ethereum wallet on the Binance Smart Chain, you can use the following method without having to replace your Ethereum wallet or create another wallet via the Trustwallet Application

1. Install the metamask application on the browser you are using (Mozilla Firefox and Chrome): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metamask/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn : Chrome
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ether-metamask/ : Mozilla Firefox

2. Import the Ethereum wallet that you have used so far into metamask


3. Add BSC mainnet via Custom RPC in metamask.

Click Here


Then choose this

Next, fill in all the data below into the available column
Network Name: BSC Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org/ or https://bsc-dataseed2.binance.org/
ChainID: 56, or 0x38 if 56 doesn’t work
Symbol: BNB
Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com/


If all data has been filled in correctly, click save

Note: for Indonesian citizens, you must use a VPN to complete the job.

Good luck for those who haven't done it.

Thanks for this topic some projects are starting to move to BSC but soon they will be on decentralized platforms as long as the fees are low.

Do Indonesians have to activate a VPN to connect to main ethereum network? Or is it for binace smart network?
For the time being, it will be a suitable option for those who want to sell their tokens and make some profits.

up to this time there are 102 token on BSC. a few of them are good enough.

yes it is an useful information that token holder of some distinct name might have with chance as connecting account for exchange to work with the trading on broker, that different ways might have with characteristic on customs as requires of different level of supports with the initial fees.

Indonesian citizens do not need to activate a VPN in order to connect to the Ethereum network, but to connect to the Binance smart network,
it requires VPN activity in the browser, that's all.

Thanks for the topic but I have a question, after importing the ethereum wallet into Binance smart chain whether we can send ethereum to another wallet which is running on ethereum or just wr can only send the ethereum to exchanges?

[mamesso]

Very useful topic, especially for newbie. Even though some of the users here already understand how to import their wallets, but very many of our friends are still confused about importing their Ethereum wallets to the Binance Smart Chain network. Moreover, recently there has been many new projects using the Binance Smart Chain network, on the grounds that BSC transaction fees are cheaper than the Ethereum platform.

Binance Smart chain belongs to Binance so let's get started with Binance Academy and some guides

How to Get Started with Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
Connecting MetaMask to Binance Smart Chain
Some people will confuse with same addresses for ERC-20 and BSC chains. Those articles can help them understand it better and be able to set up Metamask for their browser to use BSC.

Very good question, and the answer is "Yes you can", because an Ethereum wallet that is already on two different networks can always be used at any time according to your needs, and if you want to send Ethereum from that wallet to another wallet, then you are just choose the Ethereum Mainnet, meaning you only change the network path without having to create a new one again because the basics already exist.

[CryptoLogo]

Thanks you. Personally, I already owned this information, as it is easily found on Google. However, for those new to the forum, this will become an additional navigation window. After all, they will be able to transfer information further by providing a link to this topic. It's amazing how Binance turned the rules of the game in its favor, and BNB, meanwhile, $ 400.

[travwill]

It seems to me that you should change the name of the topic to a more specific one. All the same, you show people exactly how they can use the BSC network through metamask, which means that if someone wants to find your topic through a Google search engine or a forum, he will not be able to do it, or will face significant difficulties in the search process.

Thanks for the answers and also please let us know how to use the fee when sending ETH on BSC network because on Reddit people facing insufficient balance problem when they try to send it over BSC.

[blockman]

Thanks for this tutorial. This isn't just helpful for the newbies but also for the old timers who are still not aware of this. I hope that someone creates another tutorial for another wallet since this is for Metamask. Are there other wallets where this can be done?

[zonefloor]

Thank you for your explanation. But the most practical way to do this is a trust wallet. By saying that I already have a wallet from the wallet addition option, when you select the bsc network, the necessary key is entered, and it is imported immediately.

[Questat]

That helps a lot. This actually not for the newbie but also those who are not, BSC is quite new so it possible that not all of us are aware of this.
Why have to use VPN? Will that restriction has sometimes applied to other countries?

And this one also.
Most probably some users are using Binance exchange to access their BSC wallet address and this guide, it made easier for them to understand.

Thank you for your advice and now I have changed the title of this topic to make it easier for everyone who needs it to find.

For ETH delivery from the BSC network I have never tried it myself, and I will soon try it with several other tokens too, and if I get new knowledge, I will share it here too.

I hope that someone creates another tutorial for another wallet since this is for Metamask. Are there other wallets where this can be done?

For other wallets, I have never tried it myself except through the Trustwallet application on a smartphone that I have used before.

Why have to use VPN? Will that restriction has sometimes applied to other countries?

VPN is only used temporarily for those who live in Indonesia, but it probably won't apply to other countries, and I personally also don't know the extent of this limitation.

That's fine, let's just wait and maybe someone will finally come and give that idea that it's also working for other wallets that supports these two chains.

Have you tried it? he said that he has never tried it on trust wallet, maybe you can try that and see if that works.

Yes, I also recently learned about this and for now I am also asking a few other questions from some people who are more experienced in this matter, if there is something new later, I will also provide it here.

you cannot send ETH on BSC network, you can send BETH for example
regarding fees, that are paid in BNB on BSC network, so that could be an issue that people are facing when trying to send something on BSC

ETH is ETHER currency on Ethereum blockchain, on Binance Smart Chain is some other wrapped issuance of ETH, as far as i know there are BETH and renETH, maybe there are some others, keep in mind that metamask is multi-network wallet, and you can connect to BSC or Ethereum network, which will show your balance on respective chain

The explanation is very complete, and in my previous comment I only give an answer that ETH can be sent to another ETH address by replacing the BSC network to ETH via Metamask, and maybe because my explanation is still incomplete so it is still difficult to understand what I explained that. Have a nice day Bro.

so when I want to send my ETH from the BSC network, will it still be sent?
or will my ETH automatically convert to the BSC network? so that later I will send my ETH in the form of BETH coins?
sorry before, I haven't tried it for using metamask on the BSC network. this thread helped me a lot.
