Connect MetaMask to BSC Testnet

Now that your wallet is setup, we need to configure it to connect to Binance Smart Chain, this is easy to do and easy to change between networks using the button near the top of the app

Click the network selection button near the top of the app

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

Enter in the BSC testnet details as follows:

Network Name: BSC Testnet

New RPC URL: https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545

ChainID: 97

Symbol: BNB

Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.binance.org/smart-testnet

Then press “Save”

Claim Testnet Tokens from Faucet

Now that you are connected to the BSC testnet network, you need some funds for your wallet. Go to the following link to start the process: https://testnet.binance.org/faucet-smart

Bring up your MetaMask extension and click on your wallet address/account name. This will copy your wallet address to the clipboard for you to paste into the box on the faucet screen.

Click account name to copy wallet address, then paste it into the faucet input box

Make sure you claim some BNB and also BUSD in ‘peggy tokens’ so that you have a range of tokens to play around with in the testnet. Keep in mind each wallet can only claim from the faucet once per time period which increases each time you use it. So you might want to come back a few times if you would like all the tokens. When finished, click on the MetaMask extension to confirm you have received the funds.

You will notice BNB shows up here but some other tokens may not. If they do not you need to click “Add Token”

You will then need to click on the “Custom Token” tab and enter the token’s contract details, then click “Next” followed by “Add Tokens”.

BUSD token contract details are as follows:

Token Contract Address: Check transaction in explorer. Look for the symbol name, ie BUSD. Click it and then copy the contract address.

Token Symbol: BUSD

Decimals of Precision: 18

You can find the details for other tokens at BSC Scan Testnet, reach out if you would like assistance locating them

Input the token’s contract details and click “Next” followed by “Add Tokens”
