Introduction

Knowing how to access the BNB Smart Chain is one of the easiest ways to interact with digital currencies and DeFined projects. Trust Wallet is a great way to do this outside of your desktop browser and only takes a few minutes to set up.

Trust Wallet is a mobile digital currency wallet App that does not require registration. Available for both iOS and Android users. After installation, you can easily associate the wallet with DApps, including PancakeSwap, SushiSwap and Beefy Finance.

Moreover, Trust Wallet is not an exclusive App for BNB Smart Chain (BSC). It also supports Ethereum, POA Network, and Callisto blockchain, among others. This guide will use PancakeSwap as an example, but for most DeFi platforms, the operating procedures are similar.

Deposit Binance Coin to Trust Wallet

To use the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) DApp, you need to deposit some BNB to pay transaction fees. Every time you use BSC to send tokens or interact with smart contracts, you need to pay a gas fee.

1. To pay for gas with BNB BEP-20 tokens, your tokens must be sent using the BEP-20 transfer network. If you want to withdraw money from Binance, you must select the [BEP-20 (BSC)] option on the withdrawal page.

2. To deposit BEP-20 BNB, please open the [Wallet] tab in Trust Wallet and click [Smart Chain]. Please do not click [BNB]. This option is available for BEP-2 BNB in ​​BNB Chain and cannot be used to pay BSC’s transaction fees.
