Get Started with Binance Chain

Wallet

The easiest way to use Binance Chain is through a wallet with support for Binance Chain accounts and transfers.

For example, Binance provides a Web Wallet at https://www.binance.org
Binance also provides Web Wallet for testnet at https://testnet.binance.org
Both provide the functions below:

  • Generating crypto keys and addresses, which serves as the base of a wallet
  • Showing the balances of assets on the addresses
  • Sending and receiving assets

Binance Chain Web Wallet also presents a trading UI similar to Binance.com, where you can examine market data and manage your orders to trade among the listed assets.
Learn about the list of wallet available here.

Chain Explorer

Chain Explorer provides a portal to explore blocks and transaction details.
On Binance Chain Explorer, you can also check different asset types, the distribution of their ownerships, and owners' transactions.

REST API

There are Accelerated Nodes which provide advanced API services for the public.
Here is a list of all the Rest API information Accelerated Node provides: paths

Node RPC

There are data seed nodes in the network which allow users to perform low-level operations like executing ABCI queries, viewing network/consensus state or broadcasting a transaction. If you run a full node by yourself, you can also use those RPC functions. Here is a list of all the Node RPC services it provides: node-rpc

Advanced Ways To Use Blockchain

Use SDKs

SDKs are also provided as a starting point for your apps.
There are two advanced SDK solutions for Binance chain: Java and Golang.
Both solutions provide functions for:

  • Create wallets and manage keys
  • Encode/sign transactions and submit to Binance Chain/DEX, including Transfer, New Order, Cancel Order, etc.
  • Communicate with Binance Chain/DEX Node RPC calls through public node RPC services or your own private full nodes
