If your wallet or application refers to a"Token ID", it usually means the"BEP-20 token's smart contract address"on BNB Chain. You can find it by opening the token in your wallet and viewing its details or blockchain explorer page. Your wallet password is created when you set up the wallet and is used only to unlock the wallet—you cannot usually view it later, but you can reset it using your recovery phrase if you're using a self-custody wallet.
What Is a BNB Wallet Token ID?
In this guide, Token ID refers to the"BEP-20 token's smart contract address"on BNB Chain.
Although BNB Chain officially calls it a"contract address", some wallets, exchanges, APIs, and Web3 applications display the same value as a"Token ID".
Every BEP-20 token deployed on BNB Chain has its own unique contract address, which identifies that token on the blockchain.
You may need the Token ID when:
- Adding a custom token to your wallet
- Connecting to a decentralized application (DApp)
- Verifying a token before trading
- Importing a token into another wallet
- Integrating with third-party crypto services
How to Find a BNB Token ID (Contract Address)
Most BNB Chain-compatible wallets allow you to view a token's contract address.
Method 1: View the Token Details
1. Open your BNB-compatible wallet.
2. Select the BEP-20 token.
3. Open"Token Details","Asset Details", or a similar page.
4. Copy the"Contract Address"(sometimes displayed as"Token ID").
Method 2: View the Token on BNB Chain Explorer
If your wallet provides a"View on Explorer"option:
1. Open the token.
2. Tap"View on Explorer".
3. Open the token information page.
4. Copy the token's"Contract Address".
This contract address is the value many applications refer to as the Token ID.
Why Do Some Wallets Call It a Token ID?
Different wallet providers use different terminology.
While BNB Chain documentation typically uses"Contract Address", some products label the same identifier as:
- Token ID
- Token Contract
- Contract Address
- Asset Contract
Although the names differ, they generally refer to the same blockchain identifier for a BEP-20 token.
Where Can I Find My Wallet Password?
Your wallet password is created during wallet setup.
For security reasons, wallet applications normally do"not"display your password after it has been created.
If you use a custodial wallet
You can usually reset your password through:
- Email verification
- Two-factor authentication (2FA)
- Identity verification, if required
If you use a self-custody wallet
Your password only unlocks the wallet on your device.
If you forget it:
1. Reinstall or reset the wallet.
2. Import the wallet using your recovery phrase.
3. Create a new password.
Without your recovery phrase, the wallet generally cannot be restored.
Token ID vs Wallet Address vs Private Key
These terms are often confused, but they serve very different purposes.
1.Token ID (Contract Address)
A"Token ID"refers to the smart contract address of a BEP-20 token on BNB Chain. It identifies the token itself and can be safely shared when adding or verifying a token.
2.Wallet Address
A"wallet address"identifies your wallet on BNB Chain. You use it to send and receive BNB or other BEP-20 tokens. Unlike a private key, your wallet address is public and can be shared.
3.Wallet Password
Your"wallet password"unlocks your wallet application on your device. It protects local access to the wallet but does not identify your wallet or your tokens. Never share your password with anyone.
4.Recovery Phrase
A"recovery phrase"(also called a seed phrase) is used to restore your wallet if you lose access to your device. Anyone with your recovery phrase can control your assets, so it should always be stored securely offline and never shared.
5.Private Key
A"private key"provides complete control over the assets in a wallet address. It is one of the most sensitive credentials in crypto. Never share your private key with anyone or enter it on untrusted websites.
Security Tips
When looking up a Token ID:
- Always verify the contract address before sending or receiving tokens.
- Be cautious of fake tokens with similar names.
- Copy the contract address directly from your wallet or a trusted blockchain explorer whenever possible.
- Never share your recovery phrase or private key while searching for a Token ID.
