Installing MetaMask to Your Browser
First thing first, you need to install a wallet and connect it to SquidDex, so you can experience the platform to the fullest!
MetaMask can be downloaded on Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Opera browsers. In this tutorial, we will be using the Chrome browser, but the instructions are quite applicable for any search engine you prefer:
Go to the MetaMask download page
Click Add to Chrome
Press Add the extension in the pop-out screen
MetaMask has been successfully installed. You can also pin the wallet in the top right corner for quick access to your wallet.
Creating a MetaMask Account
Once you have successfully installed your MetaMask wallet, it is time to create an account!
To start the creation, click on the MetaMask icon in the upper right corner to open the extension:
Click Try It Now and then Continue.
Then, you will need to create a unique password. Enter the password and click Continue.
After seeing the above-illustrated screen, click Next and accept the Terms of Use.
Proceed by clicking Reveal Secret Words.
You will see the 12 words seed phrase, which should be saved as a file. You must copy these words to a safe place. Once you've safely stored your seed phrase, click Next.
Verify your secret phrase by entering the previously generated phrase and clicking Confirm.
To start the creation, click on the MetaMask icon in the upper right corner to open the extension:
Please note: that without a seed phrase, you will not be able to access your account. Hence, all your funds will be permanently lost if you damage or lose your device.
Adding the BNB Chain Network to MetaMask
A new Ethereum address will be generated for you once you create an account on MetaMask. However, to use the SquidDex platform, you need to add the Binance Smart Chain network.
Follow our step-by-step guide to add the BNB network straight away!
In the upper right corner of MetaMask wallet, press My Accounts and then Settings.
Select Networks and then click Add Network.
Now, manually fill in all the empty fields with the data presented below.
Network Name: BNB Chain
New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
Chain ID: 56
Symbol: BNB
Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com/
When you save all the changes and go back to the main menu, you will notice that the network has been automatically set to the BNB network, and the units are denominated in BNB now.
