BNB Smart Chain

BNB Smart Chain

SBID token currently exists on the BNB Smart Chain only.

MetaMask default network is Ethereum Mainnet, and this is the network you will see after creating a wallet. So you need to add BNB Smart Chain.

There are a few options to add it*. The first two are the easiest and the fastest.

1. On the desktop/laptop. You can add the BNB Smart Chain in the MetaMask Settings - Networks. See the screenshot on the left. On a mobile device. Click the network name on top of the window and click the Add Network - Popular. See two screenshots on the right.

Click it and your MetaMask will open and ask “Do you want to add this network?” and “Do you want to switch to BNB Smart Chain?”

Agree with it and allow it to add the network and switch to it.
