How to add SEON to your wallet?
What is MetaMask?
MetaMask is a browser extension used to securely store your crypto assets, but it also acts as a gateway to blockchain DApps. It is widely used and trusted by over 5 million users worldwide, which is why he have also chosen MetaMask as the preferred wallet for this tutorial.
How to install MetaMask?

As illustrated in the image below, when in Chrome web store, click ‘Add to Chrome‘ and then click ‘Add extension‘ to the pop-up being shown on your screen.

Steps for creating a new wallet in MetaMask
In order to setup a new wallet on your device, go ahead and click the ‘Create a Wallet’ button in the screen shown when setting up MetaMask for the first time.
The next step implies that you add a password for your account and that you agree with MetaMask’s terms of use. Your password must be at least 8 characters long so that it will be considered valid.
For added security, your account will be protected with a Secret Recovery Phrase. Make sure that you save the phrase being provided to you, as you can use this for recovering your password, in case it has been forgotten.
As part of the next step, you will have to confirm your new secret recovery phrase. On the bottom part of the screen you will find the phrase options that need to be selected in the order you have received them.
After successfully confirming the recovery phrase, you are all done! You have successfully completed the initial setup of your MetaMask wallet.
Connect your MetaMask wallet to BSC
In order to be able to add SeedOn’s SEON Token to your wallet, you will first need to connect your MetaMask wallet to the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), as our SEON Token is BEP-20 compliant.
For connecting your wallet to a new network, you will need to go to the ‘Settings‘ section and choose the ‘Network‘ tab as illustrated in the screenshots below.
While on the ‘Network‘ tab screen, we want to click the ‘Add Network‘ button in the top right corner so that we can manually input the connection information for the Binance Smart Chain. Binance provides us the possibility to connect to its two networks: Binance Mainnet and Binance Testnet. We want to connect to the Mainnet as that’s where our SEON Token is located. Below you can find the needed information to successfully connect your wallet to BSC.
Binance Mainnet
Network Name: Smart Chain
New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
Chain ID: 56 (or 0x38 in case 56 does not work)

Add SEON Token to your wallet
Now that we have connected your wallet to the BSC network, we can add SEON Token to your wallet. This is an easy task to do as described below:
- Copy SEON’s token contract address to your clipboard: 0x7672843c25c5ba11191da8da40c0881d7e77d9e0.
- Go to the main screen of your MetaMask extension and click the ‘Import token‘ button.
- In the ‘Import Tokens‘ screen that will show up, fill in the ‘Token Contract Address’ input with the above contract. MetaMask should then automatically fill in the token’s symbol and decimals for you, then click ‘Add Custom Token‘.
- Confirm your action by clicking the ‘Import token‘ button.
