How to deposit money into your wallet

To start trading, you need USDT in your MetaMask wallet on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC). Here’s how to get it there.

  1. Buy BNB on a Dutch exchange like Coinmerce or Bitvavo.
  2. Withdraw the BNB to your MetaMask wallet address and select the BNB Smart Chain (BSC / BEP-20) network. It usually arrives within 1-5 minutes.
  3. In MetaMask, use Swap to convert most of your BNB to USDT. Keep a little BNB for gas fees.
Important: Always select BSC / BEP-20 as the network. Using Ethereum (ERC-20) or another network means your funds are lost. Send a small test amount first to verify.

Don’t forget: you need a small amount of BNB for gas

Every transaction on BSC requires a tiny amount of BNB to pay network fees (called “gas”), usually less than $0.10. Keep $1-$2 worth of BNB in your wallet and it lasts a long time. Without any BNB, you won’t be able to deposit into AsterDex or approve trades.
