Introduction

  • This article is for those who are wanting to store their MCT tokens in the Binance Wallet via their browser extension.
  • It’s just a matter of downloading the extension from the Chrome Web Store and adding the custom token details for MCT.
  • First go to the Chrome Web Store and download the Binance browser extension, I will provide the link below.
  • I will add this extension to Brave for this article instead of using Chrome.
  • Once you have the browser extension page displayed you should see the following:

  • You should now see the following pop up window:

  • Now click on the Binance extension in the browser which will appear as follows:
  • Once you click on the Binance extension you will be given the option to use ‘Use Existing Wallet’ or ‘Create Wallet,’ see below:
  • I will choose to create a new wallet.
  • Once I click on the ‘Create Wallet’ tab you will be given several options, see below:
  • I am going to choose to connect with a hardware wallet.
  • After clicking on the ‘Connect Hardware Wallet’ tab you will be presented with a screen giving you the option to choose which network you would like to use, see below:

  • Now click on the ‘Connect’ tab at the bottom of the page and you will see the following which will confirm you have paired your Binance Wallet and Ledger:
  • If you now again click on the Binance App in the browser, Create Wallet tab, Connect Hardware Wallet tab, BNB Smart Chain Network tab, Connect tab at the bottom of the page you will be given the option to select what derivative path you wish to use.
  • I always use ‘Legacy (MEW / MyCrypto)’ which then brings up the correct wallet addresses I use, which derivative path you choose may depend on how you initially installed your ledger, e.g. was it via Ledger Live?,
  • For security reasons I will choose to leave the derivative path on ‘Ledger Live’ for the purposes of this article.
  • Once you see the correct wallet address you wish to use and store your MCT in select the circular icon and then the ‘Confirm’ tab at the bottom of the screen, see below:
  • After selecting the ‘Confirm’ tab you will now be asked to create a password for the browser extension, see below:
  • After creating a password and clicking on the ‘Terms Of Use’ box and then the ‘Confirm’ tab you will see your Binance Wallet, see below:

  • We now want to copy and paste the MCT contract address which is ‘0x2aDC5723085f8FB30BF464e035CBf699aA551765’ into the required field.
  • Once you have added the MCT contract address the remaining details will auto-fill, see below:
