How to migrate a wallet to MetaMask
Our new NFT minting app uses a MetaMask integration. If you are on the NFT Presale Whitelist and are using a wallet app other than MetaMask, you will need to migrate your wallet to MetaMask for compatibility.
This process will vary depending if you already have a MetaMask wallet/account set up on the device you intend to use. Please follow the instructions that correspond to your setup.
1. Install MetaMask
Depending on which device you plan on minting from, you can either install MetaMask as a Mobile app or as a browser extension.
2. Import your wallet into MetaMask
Once you open MetaMask and click "Get Started", select the "Import your existing wallet using a Secret Recovery Phrase" option.
Next, head over to your original wallet and retrieve the secret phrase/seed phrase. We've included a diagram on how to retrieve your secret phrase from Trust Wallet.
IMPORTANT: Be extremely careful with your secret phrase. It grants full access to your wallet.
Now, head back over to the MetaMask extension and input this secret phrase into the corresponding text fields.
3. Add the Binance Smart Chain Network
Out of the box, MetaMask does not come set up for Binance Smart Chain. You will need to enable it in order to interact with the BSC blockchain.
Follow the instructions at this link to add the BSC network to MetaMask.
Method 1: Use a new desktop browser
This method is the easiest and most straightforward.
1. Install MetaMask on a new browser
The MetaMask browser extension is available on Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox.
Install MetaMask on a browser that doesn't already have an existing MetaMask account attached to it.
2. Import your wallet into MetaMask
Once you open MetaMask and click "Get Started", select the "Import your existing wallet using a Secret Recovery Phrase" option.
Next, head over to your original wallet and retrieve the secret phrase/seed phrase. We've included a diagram on how to retrieve your secret phrase from Trust Wallet.
IMPORTANT: Be extremely careful with your secret phrase. It grants full access to your wallet.
Now, head back over to the MetaMask extension and input this secret phrase into the corresponding text fields.
Method 2: Import with MetaMask account recovery
This method is riskier and more convoluted as it requires you to log out of your existing MetaMask account.
1. Copy down your existing MetaMask private key(s)
Because this method requires you to log out of you existing MetaMask account, it is important to make sure you have a way to access/re-add your original MetaMask wallets.
Please make sure you have your original MetaMask wallet private key(s) copied down before proceeding.
2. Log out of MetaMask and click "Forgot Password"
In the browser extension, click the account icon, then click the "Lock" button.
In the mobile app, click the top left menu button, then select the menu option that says "Lock" (it's all the way at the bottom).
You should now see the MetaMask login page. Click the "Forgot Password" link at the bottom.
