13 Dec How to Connect MetaMask to BSC Testnet
STEP 1: Install MetaMask Browser Extension
Visit the website: metamask.io or browser extension marketplace and download the MetaMask extension for your preferred web browser or mobile device (iOS/Android).
Add the extension:
STEP 2: Create a Metamask wallet
Once the install is completed you should be forwarded to a “Welcome” screen, start by clicking “Get Started”.
Then click “Create a Wallet”:
STEP 3: Metamask password
Create a password to be used to secure your MetaMask plugin. This is so that no-one can see your account info without entering the password.

Make sure you claim some tBNB and also tEXOS in ‘peggy tokens’ so that you have a range of tokens to play around with in the testnet. Keep in mind each wallet can only claim from the faucet once per time period which increases each time you use it. So you might want to come back a few times if you would like all the tokens. When finished, click on the MetaMask extension to confirm you have received the funds.
You will notice BNB shows up here but some other tokens may not. If they do not you need to click “Add Token”.
You will then need to click on the “Custom Token” tab and enter the token’s contract details, then click “Next” followed by “Add Tokens”.
tEXOS token contract details are as follows:
