# 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>                     |

4. Click **Save**.
5. 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](https://www.bnbchain.org/en/testnet-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.
