Following these instructions, you will be able to buy board coins using the MetaMask extension for the Google Chrome browser. If you are using the MAIN mobile app or the mobile version of the site, then use this instruction.

Step 1. Create a Crypto wallet

Skip this step if you already have the MetaMask extension and have connected it to the Binance Smart Chain network.

Why do I need a crypto wallet?

The crypto wallet allows you to create accounts and work with them on the blockchain. Using wallet, you will be able to receive, send and store cryptocurrency. The board coins and MAIN tokens work on the Binance Smart Chain blockchain, so you will also need a crypto wallet to work with them.

You can choose any crypto wallet that suits you, but in this guide we will use the MetaMask wallet – one of the most popular wallets in the world.

  1. Open the Google Chrome browser.

  2. Go to the MetaMask website: https://metamask.io/

  3. Click on the "Add to Chrome" button. Download and install the extension for your browser.

  4. Then follow the setup instructions provided in the app. Click "Create Wallet". Write down the seed phrase in a safe place (preferably on a device that is not connected to the Internet). Without this phrase, it will be impossible to return the funds if you damage or lose the device. On the next page, confirm that you have recorded the phrase.

  5. Done! Now you can go to the wallet to send and receive funds.

  6. You can immediately notice that we are still dealing with a wallet on the Ethereum network. Let's fix it. To do this, click on the avatar of your wallet and go to the settings to make the Binance Smart Chain nodes available for the wallet.

  7. On the settings page, find the "Networks" item and click "Add a network" in the upper right corner to add Binance Smart Chain manually – it is not connected to MetaMask by default.

  8. Write down the network settings:

    Network Name: Smart Chain

    New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/

    Network ID: 56

    Symbol: BNB

    block explorer URL: https://bscscan.com

  9. After you save the network and return to the main window, you will notice two things: the network is automatically configured to the one you just added, and the units of measurement are expressed not in ETH, but in BNB. You have connected to the BSC network!

  10. You can change networks using the pop-up menu next to your avatar.

Step 2. Connect your BSC account to the MAIN account

The board coins are stored on the personal addresses of users in the BSC network. To use all the benefits of the platform, you need to connect your BSC address to your MAIN account.

  1. Go to the website https://main.community
  2. Log in to your MAIN account or create a new account if you haven't had a MAIN account yet.
