This article assumes you have already downloaded and installed the MetaMask plugin and created a BSC/ETH wallet that accepts Splinterlands tokens. Those are not needed to link wallets, but for transferring tokens into the game from these external chains. This article will also work for other external chain wallets you wish to link (i.e.: WAX, EOS, and more).
**Note: Make sure you link a personal wallet address that you own the private keys for. Please DO NOT link an exchange wallet address, as this can cause problems if there are issues with a transfer.
How to Link an External Wallet to Splinterlands
Step 1: Click your username (or the shield icon, if the full username isn't visible) in the top rightmost corner of the game, and select Link External Wallet from the dropdown menu:
This Wallet page is nested under the Settings page, so you can also click Settings in the above dropdown menu, then select the Wallets tab:
You can also navigate to the SPS management page (via your SPS balance on the top bar), and then click the Manage Wallets button:
Step 2: On the left side of the Link Wallet pop-up, choose the external chain that you wish to link a wallet from. In this example, we will use Binance Smart Chain (BSC), but the process will work the same for the others as well.
After clicking Binance Smart Chain, enter your BSC address in the field on the right side. Click the checkbox acknowledging that this is NOT an exchange address or a contract address, but a personal wallet that you control the private keys to, then click Save:
Step 3: This will prompt a Hive Keychain transaction for you to sign and submit. Click Confirm within Keychain:
Step 4: Once confirmed, the Link Wallet menu will reload, and you will see that a Clear button has appeared next to the Save button. This means that the address has been successfully added.
- If you wish to remove a linked wallet, simply click Clear and confirm the transaction via Keychain.
With an external wallet linked, you may transfer assets into the game from external chains, and out of the game to these designated wallets.
