How to Find Your Smart Chain Address

Creating Your Wallet

To begin, you need to create a new wallet to access the Smart Chain network. Click on the Create a new wallet option in your wallet application. During this process, you will be provided with a 12-word seed phrase, which serves as a backup for your wallet. It is crucial to write down and securely store this seed phrase in a safe location. Additionally, ensure that your private keys are kept confidential and never shared with anyone. These credentials are essential for accessing your wallet and managing your assets. If you lose your seed phrase or private keys, you will permanently lose access to your wallet and all its contents, with no recovery option available.

Finding Your Smart Chain Address

Once your wallet has been successfully created, you can locate your Smart Chain address by navigating to the Smart Chain section and selecting the Receive option. Your unique Smart Chain address will be displayed on the screen. You have multiple options for using this address: you can tap on the associated QR code to easily copy the address to your clipboard, or you can click the Share button to share your address with others. This address is what you need to provide to others when requesting payments or transfers on the Smart Chain network.

Viewing and Managing Your NFTs

If you hold non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Smart Chain, you can view your complete collection by clicking on the Collectibles section within your wallet. This will display all your NFTs in an organized manner. Beyond simply viewing your NFTs, you also have the option to trade or sell them. To do this, you can utilize various decentralized applications (DApps) available on the Smart Chain ecosystem. These platforms provide user-friendly interfaces for buying, selling, and trading NFTs with other users in the network.
