How to Add BNB Chain Testnet to MetaMask

Follow these simple steps to connect your wallet:

1. Open MetaMask and click the network dropdown at the top (it likely says Ethereum Mainnet).

2. Click Add Network.

3. Enter the following details:

Field	Value
Network Name	BNB Chain Testnet
New RPC URL	https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.bnbchain.org:8545
Chain ID	97
Currency Symbol	tBNB
Block Explorer URL (optional)	https://testnet.bscscan.com

1. Click Save.

2. Switch your MetaMask to the BNB Chain Testnet network.

You’ll now see “BNB Chain Testnet” selected in MetaMask instead of “Ethereum Mainnet.”

Getting tBNB for Testing

Before interacting with the Forest MVP, you’ll need a small amount of tBNB to pay for gas and minting actions.

1. Visit the BNB Chain Faucet.

2. Paste your wallet address and request test funds.

3. Wait a few moments - the tBNB should appear in your wallet balance.

The faucet provides 0.3 tBNB per request, which is more than enough to test all Forest MVP features. You can request again only once every 24 hours, so use your funds wisely during testing.

If you prefer to mint tBNB by bridging from mainnet, you’ll need approximately 0.0025 BNB worth of real BNB for gas.

Test Tokens: Every new user who logs in receives 100 000 tFOREST and 10 000 SEEDs automatically for testing. These tokens have no real-world value and may be reset at any time.
