If you’re looking to participate into the new world of DeFi applications and experiments happening🥩 in the Binance Smart Chain, you’ll need to move some funds to the chain. Luckly, this is easy, since there’s compatibility with the apps and tools that you normally use. First, we need to Setup MetaMask wallet & configure it to connect to BSC (Binance smart chain) — and Withdraw BEP20 tokens to your MetaMask wallet BEP20, is the equivalent to ERC20 tokens in the Binance smart chain.

Step 1 — Configure your metamask wallet

Click the network selection button near the top of the app

Click on “Custom RPC” if you have not previously added the BSC mainnet information

Enter in the BSC mainnet details as follows:

Network Name: BSC Mainnet

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

ChainID: 56

Symbol: BNB

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

Then press “Save“

Step 2 — Obtain BNB & other tokens on Binance.com

Note that this is Binance.com not Binance.org

Step 3 — Transfer out to your BSC-configured MetaMask wallet

Once you have BNB or other ‘Peggy Coins’ (multi-chain) in your Binance.com account, withdraw them from your wallet
Copy your Metamask wallet adress and past it on the Recipient’s Address on Binance platform
Ensure you select the right token and the right ‘Transfer Network’ (BEP20 for BSC). Make sure you don’t select BEP2
By doing this Binance is effectively handling the bridge for you
After you paste your wallet address and select BEP20, a warning sign will pop up, this is an old warning, click “I understand” and continue
