Step 3. Go to settings

As you will notice, your wallet (metamask) is configured by default for the Ethereum blockchain.

In the best case, the DApps of the Binance Smart Chain will not work. In the worst case, you could lose your funds, if you send them to the address you currently use.

We will therefore change the Settings to tell the wallet to use the Binance Smart Chain nodes.

  • Go to settings

Step 4. In settings select "Networks"

  • Select the add network button and input the following information :

  • We will click on Add Network in the top right menu, to manually add the Binance Smart Chain

Network Name: BSC Mainnet

New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org/ or https://bsc-dataseed2.binance.org/

ChainID: 56

Symbol: BNB

Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com/

Step 5. Connected to the BSC network.

Once you have saved the network, return to the main menu. You will notice that the network is automatically set to the one you want to add and that the unit is no longer ETH but BNB.

If not, select the newly added BSC Mainnet and you are now connected to the BSC network.

Step 6. Transaction Fees

  • Be sure to load your wallet with ample BNB (~.1) to pay transaction fees

Step 7. Ready to start the game : Mafiafoot

Once you have followed these steps, you will be able to access almost any Dapp on the Binance Smart Chain.

This wallet supports all crypto assets on the BSC, if they are not in your wallet, be sure to add the token using the specific address of the token contract.

Overall, MetaMask is not the only wallet available to BSC users, but it does provide access to almost all Dapps, making it an excellent wallet.

This wallet is also compatible with the Ethereum network by selecting the "Ethereum Mainnet" by default.
