Step 1 — Buy BNB in Atomic Wallet
If you’re new to crypto, start here:
- Install Atomic Wallet (mobile/desktop) and create a wallet.
- Write down your 12–24 word recovery phrase (paper, offline).
- In Atomic: Buy → choose BNB → complete with your card.
- Wait a few minutes for BNB to appear.
Tip: Buy a little extra BNB to cover gas fees.
Step 2 — Install MetaMask
- Install MetaMask (extension or app).
- Create/import wallet and back up the recovery phrase.
- Click to add BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to MetaMask.
Or add BSC manually
Network Name: BNB Smart Chain
RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org
Chain ID: 56
Currency Symbol: BNB
Block Explorer: https://bscscan.comNever share your recovery phrase or private keys with anyone.
Step 3 — Transfer BNB from Atomic → MetaMask
- Open MetaMask, switch to BNB Smart Chain.
- Copy your address (starts with
0x...). - In Atomic → BNB → Send → paste your MetaMask address.
- Select BEP-20 / BSC if asked.
- Send a small test amount first, then the rest.

Common mistake: BEP-2. Use BEP-20 / BSC.
Step 4 — Swap BNB → COMPASS
- Open Compass Swap and click Connect Wallet → MetaMask.
- Check you’re on BNB Smart Chain and see your BNB balance.
- Select From: BNB → To: COMPASS.
- Enter amount (leave a little BNB for gas) → Swap → confirm in MetaMask.
Troubleshooting
- Swap disabled? Ensure wallet is connected & you’re on BSC.
- Tx failing? Leave extra BNB for gas, try smaller amount.
- Token not visible? Click “Add COMPASS to MetaMask.”
All set — Welcome to COMPASS!
You now hold SMNOV in your MetaMask wallet on BNB Smart Chain.
- Keep some BNB for future gas fees.
- Bookmark this site & the Compass Swap.
- Never share your recovery phrase or keys.
FAQ — Quick Answers
BNB isn’t showing in MetaMask?
Make sure MetaMask is on BNB Smart Chain and you sent via BEP-20 (not BEP-2). Give it a few minutes.
Sent on the wrong network?
If funds were sent on BEP-2 or another chain, contact the sending wallet’s support. Some wallets offer recovery steps; we cannot move funds across chains for you.
Swap keeps failing?
Leave extra BNB for gas, try a smaller amount, confirm wallet connection, and ensure you’re on BSC (Chain ID 56).
Is my seed phrase safe here?
We’ll never ask for your seed phrase or private keys. Only store them offline in a secure place and never share them.
