## Which Wallet Can I Use

You cannot use centralized exchange (CEX) wallets like Binance Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Kraken Wallet, or any other centralized exchange wallet. You will need a self-custody wallet. We recommend using either MetaMask or Trust Wallet.

Go to Settings > Networks > Add Network and input the BSC network details: Network Name Binance Smart Chain RPC URL <https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/> Chain ID 56 Symbol BNB Block Explorer URL <https://bscscan.com/> Save the network and select Binance Smart Chain as your active network.
