FAQs About BSC Wallet

1. What is a BSC wallet?

A BSC wallet is a self-custody crypto wallet that supports BNB Smart Chain (BSC)—the EVM-compatible network used for BEP-20 tokens and BSC dApps. Why TokenPocket? It’s a trusted multi-chain wallet with a built-in dApp browser, swap/bridge, and easy BSC setup—great for holding, swapping, and using BEP-20 assets.

2. How can I get my BSC wallet address?

1. Download TokenPocket (iOS/Android) and create or import a wallet.

2. Click [Me] → [Manage Wallets] → [BNB Chain]

3. Is BNB the same as BSC?

No, BNB and BSC are not the same thing, though they are closely related. It's a common point of confusion due to their history and recent rebranding. Here's a simple breakdown:

• BNB is the native cryptocurrency of the BNB Chain ecosystem. It's the "gas" token used to pay for transactions and smart contract execution on the network. Think of it like ETH is to Ethereum.

• BSC (Binance Smart Chain), now officially known as BNB Smart Chain, is the blockchain network itself. It's the platform where you can build and use decentralized applications (dApps), and where transactions for BEP-20 tokens (a token standard similar to Ethereum's ERC-20) take place.

4. Is the BSC wallet address the same as BNB?

Not exactly—it depends on the network:

• BSC (BEP-20) address: starts with 0x (same format as Ethereum).

• Beacon Chain (BEP-2) address: starts with bnb and often requires a memo on exchanges. Use the address that matches the network you selected. In TokenPocket, choose BNB Smart Chain (BSC) for BEP-20; choose BNB Beacon Chain for BEP-2. Sending to the wrong network can lead to loss of funds.

Conclusion

Now that you know how to create and import a BSC wallet with TokenPocket, you're ready to explore the vast world of decentralized applications on the BNB Chain. Remember, the most critical step is always to secure your mnemonic phrase and private keys. Keep them offline and safe from prying eyes to ensure the security of your assets. With your new wallet, you can now seamlessly engage with DeFi, dApps, and the entire BSC ecosystem.
