- 1. Network name: BNB Smart Chain (you can change the name)
- 2. New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
- 3. Chain ID: 56
- 4. Symbol: BNB

15. Verify that the BSC contract address in MetaMask matches the contract address in Decimal. To do this, check the wallet address in MetaMask:
- And in the Decimal console, go to the Cross-chain swap section, select the BSC blockchain, and check against the Binance wallet address in Decimal:
- If the contract addresses match, then your wallet is ready for cross-chain transactions.
- Top up the Decimal wallet with DEL and the MetaMask wallet with BNB to complete the transaction, as the fee is deducted from both blockchains at once.
If the wallet address does not match, then you used different seed phrases in Decimal and in Metamask. Start using the instructions from step 1.
