In 2022, Binance has put a name for both Binance Chain (BEP2) and Binance Smart Chain (BEP20) as BNB Chain - one of the earliest and most developed DeFi ecosystems in crypto. Recently, Binance’s layer-1 blockchain competing with Ethereum as one of the most popular blockchains.

To be able to skin in this blockchain, of course, you will need a BNB Chain Wallet. In today's article, I will show you the details on how to create a BNB Chain Wallet.

What is the BNB Chain Wallet?

The BNB Chain Wallet is where BNB, BEP20 standard tokens are stored on the BNB Chain. You can send and receive BNB, BEP20 standard tokens as well as interact with applications on the BNB Chain.

In particular, this wallet is owned by you, so no one has the right to influence or use the wallet other than you.

What is included in a BNB Chain Wallet address?

A BNB Chain Wallet has 3 extremely important pieces of information you must note:

Wallet address: A sequence of numbers and characters used to send assets to the BNB Chain wallet. Others can transfer coins to you through the wallet address you provide. A BNB Chain (BNB BEP20) wallet address will have the following format: 0x859AA4525c19829034CbbFD916F46c068F116310
Passphrase: A security key that can be understood as a password consisting of any 12 English keywords. If you want to perform the wallet recovery operation, you must go through the Passphrase login step. Format of a Passphrase: task estate tube ear decade stone trick army gray nice net bottle.
Private Key: A string of letters and numbers to connect to the account, quite similar to the password of a bank account. Format of a Private Key: 0x3b0c8dd07372e32a5eb89b2c74996d6daad56cc8a40bc7eaa418b5d5630623b1.

To visualize, you can imagine that the BNB Chain Wallet is a bank account, the wallet address is the account number and the passphrase/private key is the password.

The difference here is that with a bank account, other people will know your personal information. As for the BNB Chain Wallet, the user becomes anonymous, no one knows who owns the wallet, and transactions only occur through the address encoded into a sequence of numbers and characters.
