Locating Your BEP-20 Wallet Address: A Complete Guide for Metamask and Trust Wallet Users

BEP-20 represents the token standard for the BNB Chain ecosystem, functioning similarly to how ERC-20 operates on Ethereum. Any user planning to transact with BNB Chain-based tokens—whether buying, holding, or exchanging—requires a compatible BEP-20 wallet address. Two of the most reliable multi-chain wallets that support this standard are Metamask and Trust Wallet, both of which enable seamless interaction with multiple blockchain networks and their corresponding token protocols.

Understanding Why BEP-20 Wallet Compatibility Matters

Before diving into the technical steps, it’s worth noting that both Metamask and Trust Wallet are self-custody solutions supporting multiple blockchains. This flexibility means your wallet can hold both ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum and BEP-20 tokens on BNB Chain simultaneously. The key is properly configuring your wallet to recognize the BNB Chain network.

Retrieving Your BEP-20 Address Through Metamask

Initial Setup Requirements

First, ensure Metamask is installed on your system. The wallet is available as a browser extension for Chrome and other browsers, as well as a mobile application. Login credentials (your password) will grant you access to your existing account.

Network Configuration Process

From your Metamask dashboard, locate the network selector dropdown positioned in the upper left corner. If BNB Chain appears in the list, simply select it. Should it not be listed, you’ll need to add it manually by clicking “Add Network” and inputting these specifications:

• Network Name: Binance Smart Chain
• RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org
• Chain ID: 56
• Native Currency Symbol: BNB
• Block Explorer: https://bscscan.com

After confirming these details, save the configuration and return to the network selector to activate BNB Chain.

Accessing Your Address

Once BNB Chain is active, navigate to the account menu (three-dot icon in the top right), select account details, and your BEP-20 wallet address will be displayed along with its QR code. Note that some token balances may require manual import to appear in your interface.

Finding Your BEP-20 Address on Trust Wallet

Browser Extension Approach

Trust Wallet’s desktop extension provides a straightforward pathway. After account creation, click the network icon (typically showing “Ethereum” by default) in the top left corner. You should see BNB Chain as a selectable option. If absent, select “manage networks” followed by “add custom tokens,” then enter the same BNB Chain configuration details mentioned above.

Once BNB Chain is selected from your networks list, proceed to the receive function and search for the BNB token. Clicking on it will reveal your BEP-20 wallet address ready for copying.

Mobile App Experience

The Trust Wallet mobile application streamlines this process. Open the app, tap “Add Tokens,” then choose BNB Smart Chain from the available networks. Return to your home screen, locate the newly added BNB token, and select receive—your BEP-20 wallet address will appear immediately for use.

Practical Next Steps

Once you’ve located your BEP-20 wallet address on either platform, you can freely share it for receiving tokens or use it to transfer BNB Chain-based assets. The address functions identically across both wallets when properly configured, providing flexibility in choosing your preferred custody solution based on your usage patterns and device preferences.
