How to Get BNB on Binance Smart Chain without a VPN

in LeoFinance4 years ago (edited)

Let me start off by saying, something similar to this was a reply to @ats-david and @taskmaster44501e in the comments thread of the Introducing Cub Finance post, but after I finished writing the reply I hit tab and maybe space bar and lost the entire comment lol rookie mistake.

LEO and CUB

First you'll want to sign up for an account at Binance.us ( no kyc required for withdrawing less than $5k per day). Sign up is quick and your account is available for trading immediately. Next, download and set up Binance Chain Wallet extension for Chrome. This will make the process of transferring funds much easier and faster than setting up metamask to do the same. Later in the tutorial I'll show you how to setup and send the funds to metamask should you need to interact with the bridge for wrapping/unwrapping LEO, BLEO, and CUB. Trust me, in the long run it's easier, less confusing, and much more error proof going about it this way.

Here is the link to download Binance Chain Wallet:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/binance-chain-wallet/fhbohimaelbohpjbbldcngcnapndodjp?hl=en

Steps after installing and setting up Binance Chain Wallet:

1.) Purchase BNB on Binance.us
2.) Go to Binance Chain Wallet and click arrow in box at the top, under select network, click on Binance Chain Network.
3.) Copy the address that starts with bnb.
4.) On Binance.us website go to Wallet -> Withdraw
5.) Top left under "Coin", click on BTC, type BNB then click on BNB

In the U.S. the only Withdrawal Network option is BEP2

6.) On the right side under Recipient's BNB Address, paste the address from step 3 above.
7.) Click on max and then click "Submit".
8.) Go to Binance Chain Wallet and click arrow in box at the top, under select network, click on Binance Smart Chain.
9.) Copy the address that starts with 0x
10.) Change the network back to "Binance Chain Network".
11.) Once your funds show up, click on send
12.) Paste the address from step 9 (make sure it starts with 0x) into the address field
13.) Click max and then click Send.
14.) Change network back to "Binance Smart Chain" and your good to go.

If you want to interact with the bridge mentioned above you must use Metamask. Here is download link for available browsers.
https://metamask.io/download.html

I think the newest version of metamask auto selects Binance Smart Chain if the Dapp you are accessing uses it, but if not here is how you add the Binance Smart Chain network.

1.) Go to Metamask -> Settings -> Networks -> Add Network

Settings:

Network Name: BSC Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
Chain ID: 56
Currency Symbol (optional): BNB
Block Explorer URL (optional): https://bscscan.com/

2.) Click save
3.) Send your BNB from your Binance Chain Wallet to the new Metamask address (make sure "BSC Mainnet" Network is selected).

Wow that was rough! Anyone else got Vertigo from spending too much time in DeFi!?

I was trying to edit the post and add an image and accidentally made another post. I guess there is no way to delete the second post?
