Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to connect your Metamask wallet to the BSC Testnet using Web3.js and React:
Prerequisites
- Install
metamask
andweb3.js
packages:npm install metamask web3
- Set up MetaMask wallet on testnet (bsc)
- Create a new React project:
npx create-react-app metamask-testnet
Step 1: Enable BSC Testnet in Metamask
- Open your MetaMask wallet and navigate to
Settings
- Go to
Advanced settings >
Networks
- Select
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Testnetfrom the list of available networks
- Make sure the testnet network is enabled
Step 2: Set up Web3.js on the React Project
- Install
web3.js
package:npm install web3
- Create a new file called
Web3.js
in your React project’s root directory:touch src/Web3.js
import * as Web3 from 'web3';
const provider = new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('
Step 3: Connect the Metamask Wallet to Web3.js
Create a new file called metamaskConnect.js
and add the following code:
import * as Web3 from 'web3';
import { metamaskConnect } from './metamask-connector';
const accounts_ = await metamaskConnect();
This will connect your MetaMask wallet to the testnet network using the metamask-connector.js
file.
Step 4: Set up Account Retrieval
Create a new file called accounts.js
and add the following code:
import * as Web3 from 'web3';
import { accounts_ } from './metamaskConnect';
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
console.log(accounts);
This will retrieve the Metamask wallet addresses connected to your testnet account.
Step 5: Use Accounts in Your React App
Update your App.js
file to use the retrieved accounts:
import * as React, { useState } from 'react';
import Web3 from './Web3';
function App() {
const [accounts, setAccounts] = useState(accounts_);
return (
Metamask Testnet Accounts
{accounts.map((account) => (
- {account}
))}
);
}
function MetamaskTestnet() {
return (
{/ Your React app content here /}
);
}
This will display the Metamask wallet addresses connected to your testnet account in a list.
That’s it! You should now be able to connect your MetaMask wallet to the BSC Testnet and retrieve the accounts using Web3.js.
