# How to add Binance Smart Chain on metamask

### Configuring the wallet <a href="#header-1" id="header-1"></a>

You might notice straight away that we’re still dealing with an [Ethereum](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-is-ethereum) wallet. At best, this won’t work with Binance Smart Chain DApps. At worst, **you could lose funds by sending them to addresses you can’t actually use**.

Let’s change that. We want to access the **Settings** to point the wallet towards Binance Smart Chain nodes.

![Select Settings from the dropdown menu.](https://academy.binance.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimage.binance.vision%2Feditor-uploads%2F47eadf5a6e684e199f8b178dd8c0dc89.png\&w=3840\&q=75)

On the Settings page, we want to locate the Networks menu.

We want to click **Add Network** in the top-right corner to **manually add the Binance Smart Chain** one – it doesn’t come packaged with MetaMask. It’s important to note that there are two networks we can use here: the testnet or the mainnet. Below are the parameters to fill in for each.

#### Network:

**Network Name:** Smart Chain

**New RPC URL:** <https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/>

**ChainID:** 56

**Symbol:** BNB

**Block Explorer URL:** <https://bscscan.com>
