Connect to BSC
Silent Expanse: Strife is deployed on BNB Smart Chain (BSC). You need to switch your wallet to the BSC network to interact with the game.
What Is BSC?
BNB Smart Chain is a blockchain network launched by Binance, offering:
- Low transaction fees — each operation costs just fractions of a cent
- High throughput — built for high-frequency game interactions
- EVM compatible — works with MetaMask and other主流 wallets
Auto-Add BSC Network
The easiest way is to use Chainlist:
- Visit Chainlist
- Search for "BNB Smart Chain"
- Click "Connect Wallet" and authorize
- Click "Add to MetaMask"
- Confirm the addition
Manual Configuration
You can also add the BSC network manually:
Adding BSC to MetaMask
- Click the network dropdown in the top-right corner of MetaMask
- Click "Add Network"
- Fill in the following details:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Network Name | BNB Smart Chain |
| RPC URL | https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org |
| Chain ID | 56 |
| Currency Symbol | BNB |
| Block Explorer | https://bscscan.com |
- Click "Save"
Backup RPC Nodes
If the main RPC is congested, you can use backup nodes:
| Provider | RPC URL |
|---|---|
| Binance Official | https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org |
| Ankr | https://rpc.ankr.com/bsc |
| PublicNode | https://bsc.publicnode.com |
Getting BNB
Every operation on BSC requires BNB for gas fees. Here's how to get some:
- Centralized exchange — buy BNB from Binance, OKX, etc. and withdraw to the BSC network
- Cross-chain bridge — transfer BNB from other networks to BSC via a bridge
caution
When withdrawing, make sure to select the BSC network (BEP-20) or you may lose your funds!
Verify Your Connection
After configuration, switch to the BNB Smart Chain network in your wallet. If the Chain ID shows 56 and your balance displays the correct BNB amount, you're all set.
Once your wallet and network are ready, the next step is to Get SES Tokens.
