How to add the BSC Mainnet to MetaMask
Overview
By default, Metamask supports the Ethereum mainnet and some testnets. In order to use Metamask with dapps running on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), we need to add this network manually to MetaMask. This article provides instructions to do so.
Instructions
Adding a New Network
Open Metamask
Click on your user icon on the top right
Click "Settings"
Click "Networks"
Click "Add Network" at the bottom
BSC Network Details
Network Name: BSC Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed1.ninicoin.io
Chain ID: 56 (0x38 if that does not work)
Currency Symbol: BNB
Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com/
Click "Save" and you are done. Now when you want to use a dapp on BSC, make sure the "BSC Mainnet" network is selected on the network dropdown on the top part of the main view of Metamask.
