Add BNB Smart Chain to Your Wallet

UnitedDefi runs on BNB Smart Chain (BSC). Most wallets come with Ethereum by default, so you need to add BSC.

Trust Wallet

Good news — BNB Smart Chain is already built in. You don't need to do anything. Just make sure you see "Smart Chain" or "BNB" in your token list.

MetaMask (mobile or PC)

  1. Open MetaMask and tap the network selector at the top (it says "Ethereum Mainnet").
  2. Tap Add network.
  3. Select BNB Smart Chain from the popular networks list and confirm.
  4. Switch to the BNB Smart Chain network.
Tip: If BSC isn't in the list, add it manually with these details:
Network: BNB Smart Chain
RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org
Chain ID: 56
Symbol: BNB
Explorer: https://bscscan.com

Important: Always send tokens on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) network. Sending on the wrong network (like Ethereum or Tron) means your tokens will be lost forever.

Connect Your Wallet to UnitedDefi

On iPhone or Android

  1. Open your wallet app (Trust Wallet, MetaMask, or TokenPocket).
  2. Find the built-in browser (called "DApp Browser" or "Discover").
  3. Type uniteddefi.live in the address bar.
  4. Tap Connect Wallet on the site and approve the connection.

On PC

  1. Open your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge).
  2. Make sure the MetaMask extension is active and you're on BNB Smart Chain.
  3. Go to uniteddefi.live.
  4. Click Connect Wallet and approve the MetaMask popup.

Choose a Package and Start Staking

Once connected, go to the Staking page. You'll see four packages:

  1. Pick the package that fits you.
  2. Enter the amount of USDT you want to stake (minimum 1 USDT).
  3. Click Approve — this gives the smart contract permission to use your USDT. Confirm in your wallet.
  4. Click Deposit — this sends your USDT into the staking contract. Confirm in your wallet.
  5. Done! You're now earning rewards.
Tip: You only need to approve once per package. After that, future deposits only need the deposit step.

  1. Go to your staking dashboard.
  2. Click Claim next to your active stake.
  3. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
