Binance Chain Wallet is the official Binance cryptocurrency wallet for accessing Binance Smart Chain, Binance Chain, and Ethereum. You can use it to securely store your crypto and connect to thousands of projects across different blockchains
Whether you’re looking to swap BNB for other tokens, mint NFTs, or do yield farming, you can easily do it all with the browser extension wallet. The Binance Chain Wallet currently supports Chrome, Firefox, and Brave.
What makes Binance Chain Wallet unique?
At first glance, Binance Chain Wallet looks similar to other extension-based wallets. There are, however, a few features that differentiate Binance Chain Wallet from the rest. If you already have a Binance account, you can easily link it to your wallet with Wallet Direct. This feature saves you from copying and pasting addresses when transferring digital assets between the two.
You can also use your Gmail account to sign up for the wallet through tKey. If you lose access to your wallet, you can recover it by accessing two out of the three following methods:
- Through your Gmail login
- By using your local device
- With your account password created during set-up
Keeping your private keys secure is a big responsibility, so using tKey can be helpful.
These two features make Binance Chain Wallet extremely easy for anyone not too familiar with crypto wallets to get started right away.
Setting up Binance Chain Wallet
1. Download the Binance Chain Wallet on the Binance Chain homepage. Simply pick the browser that you want to install the extension to.
2. After installing the extension, you will see the sign-up page. In this example, we’re going to create a brand new wallet with a Gmail account.
Note: You can also use an existing crypto wallet if you have your original seed phrase or tKey login credentials.
3. Click [Create Wallet] and then select [Continue with tKey via: G].
4. A pop-up will appear asking you to log in using Gmail. tKey and Binance Chain Wallet will use your Gmail account as a way of authenticating your identity in the future if needed.
5. The next step is to create a password that can act as a second layer of protection should you lose your private key.
6. You will now see your Binance Chain Wallet seed phrase, which you can use to recover your account. You also have the option to create your own seed phrase. Altogether, the phrase should contain 12, 15, 18, 21, or 24 words.
You should never share your seed phrase with anyone. Treat it similar to a banking account password or pin. If you lose it, you can still gain access to your Binance Chain Wallet using your email address in combination with your tKey password.
7. Click continue once you are sure that you have securely stored the seed phrase.
8. You have successfully set up your Binance Chain Wallet. You can now use it to send and receive BSC, Binance Chain, and Ethereum tokens. You can also interact with DApps and smart contracts on these blockchains.
