Introduction

Binance Chain Wallet is the official cryptocurrency wallet launched by Binance. It is used to access Binance Smart Chain, Binance Chain and Ethereum. In addition to secure storage Cryptocurrencies, the wallet can also connect thousands of projects in different blockchains.

Whether you are exchanging Binance Coin for other tokens, minting non-fungible tokens (NFTs), or participating in liquidity mining, the browser plug-in wallet is a convenient choice. Currently, Binance Chain wallet supports Chrome, Firefox and Brave browsers.

What makes Binance Chain Wallet unique

At first glance, Binance Chain Wallet is different from other Plug-in wallets are similar. However, the former has some distinctive features. If you have registered a Binance account, you can easily connect your wallet through the "Wallet Guide". With this feature, you don’t need to copy-paste addresses when transferring digital assets between the two platforms.

You can also use your Gmail account to register a wallet through tKey. If wallet access fails, you can choose two of the following three methods to recover:

1. Log in via Gmail
2. Use a local device
3. Use the password you created when you created your account

Keeping your private keys safe is a top priority, and tKey will help.
