Adding BSC to MetaMask
When it comes to adding BSC (or any other blockchain) to MetaMask, you have two options:
1. Do it manually. This is a safer method and, therefore, the one we recommend.
2. Do it automatically. Use a reputable website that will add a particular chain with the click of a button. This is a faster method but potentially dangerous. If you decide to use this method, make sure you trust the website.
